thats great dan, forecast for saturday???

Saturday will be unreal. It's not going to be too hot. Chance of a shower LATE in the evening but I think between 2pm and 6pm down at Yatala it's going to be perfect BBQ weather. Free sausages are going to fall into hands everywhere and visions of automotive beauty will be had by all

I was gonna say... test and tunes have never been free to watch...

Only one I've been to was free for me to spectate at. Maybe that's cause I went in with my mate who was running his car, they only charged him entry, nothing for me.

Maybe I just got lucky?

2-6pm? Damn, I thought it was a morning thing for some reason, now I can't come as I have to be at work at noon :(

Passengers are usual free if they come in with the test..

forecast for saturday???

hot hot hot, with a slight chance of passion

on a slightly related topic, I am no good for sat. shit came up, as it usually does....

which is a shame, as I was going to bug Dan about my suspension, and Chris about some interior issues I am having

Entry fee for the car inc two people...

F1 on this weekend too.... :D

Gotta work tomorrow tho :(

But Sunday I see Pool, BBQ, Cold Beers & F1 on the big big screen... :D

Some people at this uni a f**king dirty. One of the common room type setups we have here is absolutly f**king filthy. Rubbish left on tables, bits of paper on floors, chairs everywhere.

:domokun:

edit: haha word filter

F1 cars used to be no interest to me, until in 2003 when i went to Melbourne with some free tickets...

Now i cant get enough of them...

Same goes for V8's... I went to every Australian round last year, it was awesome...

I guess if it has a motor and it races im keen as mustard...

F1 tho makes my heart, lungs & all other internal organs shake... I <3 F1

So update on the whole bike key thing. I don't think I've posted this up yet so I'll give everyone the whole run down.

Wednesday night went to soccer training and didn't close the garage door.

Got back from soccer training shit myself because of the door.

Quick inventory, nothing seems to be missing.

Get up in the morning on Thursday. Get all my bike gear on, hop on the bike...no keys in the bike. f**k.

So my mates were convinced I'd misplaced them but I never take the keys out of the bike at home and even if I did they would be with my bike gear. Keys are nowhere to be found.

Trying to rationalise why anyone would take just my bike keys and not anything else from the treasure trove of shit that I keep in the garage. Then I remembered there was a key from work on the bike keys and using my detective skills I figured they thought it was a house key or something, someone disturbed them and they figured they'd come back and have another crack at it.

So then today around 4:30pm after one of my housemates left for work. A kid about 16, islander type, came to the door and tried to use the key to get into the house. Luckily my other housemate was in the f**king living room at the time. He confronted him and the kid tried to spin some bullshit story about visiting a friend and then bolted. He has been back again at 7:30 this time with a mate. Called the police and filed a report but that's about all I can do for now.

Fun times ahead.

Also Willowbank was awesome. The heat treatments and godzilla GTRs are f**king awesome lol.

Yeah the super taxis have proven to be not bad secondary entertainment, when not surrounded by bogans. I was pleasantly surprised :).

That sucks mang

i didnt realize you worked there...

make that two of us that work there. Well actually one works and the other is on SAU all day lol :whistling:

Also Willowbank was awesome. The heat treatments and godzilla GTRs are f**king awesome lol.

Where'd you end up heading off to? so much for "i'll be back". Not that it matters to much, since I had mates there and we struck up a convo with some Kiwi guy who claimed he has a 9 second road bike (not racing).

Heat treatments almost ran into the side of the track though, they had a dissapointing night i think.

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • 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.
