I had a great day although rain for the first time I have driven a car in 7 months was a kick in the face!

Had traction issues all day (excuses) so I ran gate pressure all day and was a fairy with the throttle (You think a Trust setup sounds good, it was nothing compared to when they are on full song!) as there was no point trying to put down all of my power.

I will be back for a dry run and try to take off at least 10 seconds.

Once again awesome day, and the photo's from you guys show just how awful the conditions were.

Forgot to say big thanks to Copnis for his help on the start grid, you were out there in the rain for ages, doing a great job. Thanks heaps.

Official results are below, and even though Brent is the Motorsport secretary for CSA, we are not going to let him race any more, in the true Australian motor sport tradition, we are banning him. Anyone who is fearless enough to go out in that weather in a Fiesta XR4 and win is a nutcase hehe.

Well done everyone, only a couple of harmless spins and no bent cars in what was very slippery conditions.

Anyway Official results below as promised.

Stupid car didn't want to play ball this week, so I bravely spent the day looking like a Traffic Cone with my Dayglow Orange Jacket on :slap:

Have to tape glass headlights, so that if they break, the glass doesn't fall out onto the track. Just a precaution.

We all got heaps of runs TETS, was fantastic.

We are hoping for another one very early next year, so stay tuned.

Looks like a fun day in the wet.

I was there on the sunday and it had dryed up by then.

Anyone have more details about that R31 GTSR? is it genuine? There are a few things on it that make me think it used to be my old car.

Also which car is Paul Milvains? I work for the same company but haven't heard much about his 31.

Also I laughed when I saw the camry badge on the Chaser haha.

You will find that the bright yellow Coupe is Paul's 31, and that ain't no GTS-R, tis Wheezy ex black on Gay coupe :D

Sweet.

Well I think that may be my old car. How long has he had it for?

    • 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.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
