Maybe the skyliners were afraid they wouldn't be able to drop a decent skid.. afterall, that's what motorvation is all about :angry:

skylines cant lift the front end when you hit the accelerator.......

Entries for motorvation are done way more in advance than autosalon, so planning is usually around ~6 months before, so probably for next year I will get an EOI from sauwa members & if we have enough then there can be a club entry, I want to enter my car in it as well. As for this years event thinking back to that time last year there didn't seem to be too much interest, even for autosalon I expected more than what we got. Some people seem to think that there car isn't good enough or something like that, fair enough some need more but it's as a club, so showing off the range of cars is what it's about. If people are keen, they need to let everyone know!

^^ FAIL.

motorvation > autosalon. in my opinion autosalon is extremely over rated and over priced.

Reaper there are so many pros on Motorvation over Auto Salon I don't know where to begin. Actually showing your car off without it being static, camping, BYO, free dyno, driving events, all for $115 are the first things that come to mind.

We had a 491hpatw R32 GTR, R33 Vspec N1, V-Spec 2 GTR, my GTT, Dani's 'angr33', Supra and an Autech Stagea that was the crowd pleaser. Also remember the standard for Motorvation is MUCH greater than that of Auto Salon. Props to Antilag for the quality imports visually and performance wise they had on show there. Look at the time and money put into those V8s and you can see why most of those get chosen over the imports that try to enter.

It was a good weekend. Antilag party was nuts. Security stopping the supra from dropping a burnout, and everyone jumpin on security and pullin him off the car, then everyone fliipped the 4 wheeler security bike, pretty stupid but i admit i still laughed.. lol. :angry:

Orange drift ceffy ripped the meanest burnout I've seen from an import ever.

As always jap turbos were largly outnumbered. hopefully I have the R next Motorvation, it was a good weekend still.

I was the guy wearing the I Luv white girls tee at antilag party if anyone was there. I bailed after the free tequila shots. Dug my own grave. Was a train wreck for Sunday. Accidently drove home without screwing my plates back on lol woops. :(

Some pics from our stand..

its takes afair bit of work to organized everything for an event like motorvation, and as mention before you need to get your enters in early. The SAUWA committee does a great job but they do have day jobs; so its not always easy to enter every event

Very true. Because we are all close friends in our club who entered (although we are an open club), it was easier, mind you still stressful to organise everything and come to agreements on who's chipping in for things such as booze, marquee, bbq, gas, smoke machine/strobe lights, banners, tents, food & drinks, support vehicles to bring all this stuff in, support vehicle drivers, sorting out who needs to move their cars out the way so individual cars can attend their driving event. You need to do a lot of liasing with each other to get it all sorted and organised before and during the event, and I think if SAU was to do something like this, I'd imagine it to be really hard to pull off, not saying that it's not possible, just hard. Michael I'm sure you get what I mean. :)

And here's a video of that bombed Cefiro dropping a burnout. That's Michael's V Spec N1 in front of me with a rooted ATESSA, 2wd action. :D

I thought I had Steve Jones' 34 dropping the huge skid on video but I must have been a douche when filming as it's not there :)

Dude, are you a member of SAUWA ?

We've organised a MV for SAUWA before, almost no interest, therefore we didn't bother this year.

If the members want it then we will happily organise it, however alot of people talk about it but when it comes down to it pull-out at the last minute. Why didn't you speak up earilier (like 6months ago) if you wanted to be in MV 2009 with SAUWA ?

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.

      AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.

      As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.

      spot the stagea

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
