The thing is though that if Ben can do what he needs to do to fix/fit it and it works the way I am hoping then I will have forgotten about it all in a weeks time and I'll just be happy!

But I don't think Ben will be hurrying back to get another one from there any-time soon since it's him that has to fix all their problems. It's a shame though as their standard off the shelf unit was pretty nice. But I think if they could actually do these cross-flow units well they'd sell a bunch of them.

Just curious, but I thought the consensus was 4wd turbo cars not allowed in late classic?

Probably just a mistake, but im sure our good buddy Stu will clear this up :D

Oh and I see our very own Targa Tom has switched to Showroom?

yes mate, pure error from how entries are administered when they first come in. if not already, it will be corrected shortly.

Entry numbers look pretty strong Stuart - good to see :P

So when are all the non-Tassie competitors planning to arrive in Tassie?

I was speaking to someone the other day who was talking about getting down there mid April so they could get in 2 full weeks of reccy :ermm:

Hey kel, benny told me he is hitting our shores tuesday morning. bring and early lol!

Out of curiousity do you know anything about someone running the DK 32 this year, I was down at my mate adam's (knows Tony and Steve) workshop today and saw it there? Didn't have time to stop and ask about it as I was in a hurry. But would be cool if it is, its a tuff car!

Not sure if there are plans for someone to run the DK32 but I think it could still there by accident.

It was meant to come back up after Wrestpoint but a certain r35 involved in an off-road adenture was put on the trailer instead.

we just let everyone know you were competing kel and the mail doesn't stop!!

:D

it's not me- it's my driver (aka the elephant man) that would be responsible for that.

i'm sure everyone's going to be watching to see how Steve gets his helmet over those ears.

I heard its a special one off with cut outs for the ears!!

Im thinking of going down to spectate with some mates, never been before..

At this stage will it be difficult to find accommodation?

Any tips appreciated :)

Well considering a month ago someone on here was struggling i'd say yes, backpackers/cosy cabins might be available or a caravan park if your desperate.

Id say cosy cabins hadspen would be a start

If anything you'd be better off chopping the end off if you can't spare the entire 6 days.... I'd suggest Day 0 Prologue through to at least the end of day 3. The stages are much more accessible and the teams come back each night to Launceston.

Thanks, never thought of it that way.

Time on the weekend is less of an issue than during the week(have to take time off work) and the overall cost of the trip is my second concern hence wondering if its not worth going for the whole time.

Not to mention the # of cars at the end won't be the same as the start unfortunately. So if you want to see the whole field make sure you at lease see day 0.

I dunno, some are lucky to make it to georgetown before boiling or needing a rebuild!!!

What's happened to Russ in all these talks? Is he still coming? And what of the rumours of his off sider coming too in the EVO?

It's not like Russ not to talk it up before an event - or is he just concentrating on Super-lap for now?

Russ is there, has secured his new Nav as of yesterday.

There was talk of The Offsider doing Rookie for shits and giggles, but I think that's been canned now.

Obviously Superlap has been the main focus to date, but I do have the truck booked for our cars now, so it's all systems go :)

I Russ' defense I know how busy he's been with work so it's no wonder he hasn't had time to come on and explain why Timmy and I will be passing him over Cethana ;)

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • 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.  
    • 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.
