at this stage it will be Mark, Rebecca and I... Not sure about SteadyEddy/Chris.

Jeno and Jo can't be there :)

Bullet32 is too soft and has a frangipani show on

James doesn't know what he's missing out on

Donnons mum won't let him

Reeces car is never in one piece long enough and he still hasn't given me back my clutch line :(

hmm that enuff sm@rt @rsin' from me to make up for being so quiet lately :)

You were doing some great times out there at the last one. Well done!! I thought it was impressive given you haven't had a lot of runs around that track. I think you'll be putting up a great battle at future events.

In regards to the actual hillclimb times. Do the GTS-T's suffer much from RWD syndrome? I know there are lots of other RWD cars that run but in comparison to the GTR's around the circuit, how do they fair??

P.S - I bought a helmet today and my diff is fixed so I'll be out joining in with you guys once I have a membership with someone + CAMS licence. I don't think i'll be out for competition, i just want to go out and come back with a big smile on my face.

I've actually got a motorkhana on that weekend up in Newcastle, and your clutch line will be back to you in the next week :D

:P YES, I think its worth at least 2 seconds in the launch, but its not as bad around the track, I think lag would be a bigger problem than grip up the hill.

I'm another one that can't go now, booked to go to Melbourne. Shame I'll have to wait 12 months for a 2 lapper. Money's been put towards the next two events.

My times were ok, hoping to slip into the 47's Still not too bad considering all the people that beat me on the day came in fully preped race WRX sti/EVO's. I have all the grip I need right now, the body roll is the main problem.

I wanted to see the upgraded GTR beast go around the track.

So you would agree Reece that the GTS-T's would be disadvantaged enough to not warrant fighting for positions against other suitable hill climb cars and they should really just aim for the fun and social aspect of it (and against other GTS-Ts)..

If so, that so doesn't worry me, because I'm all for the fun of the thing more than anything.

^^ what he said.

The GTST's are in a different class. I won quite a few classes with my GTST and if its smile factor you're after... then you're going to get value for money.

Ahh didn't think about classes, thanks guys.

Yeh, I'm more than keen to start running in these events, I keep watching all the SDMA vids on youtube making me more and more keen.

Yeah the GTR's are in type SV and we are in Type1-2-3 (depending on mods) over 3000cc. We are extremely competitive in type 1/2 but not as much in type 3.

Did I miss something here? "over 3000cc"?

Does anyone have a list of what mods put you in what class?

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?

      Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.

      Could be correct. Meter might be that far out. Compare against a known 5 ohm 1% resistor.

      @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap.  (edit: I went out and did it right now, the line I had chosen did appear to have no vacuum on it, it used to go to the front of the intake, I've now completely blocked that one off at the bracket that holds several vacuum lines by the firewall.  I T'd into the vacuum line that goes from that bracket to the vacuum pump at the front of the car, but no change in the MAP readings).  Using the new vacuum line that has obvious vacuum on the hose, im still only getting readings between -6.0 and -5.2.  I'm wondering why the ECU was detecting -5.3 when nothing was connected to the MAP nipple and ECU MAP selected as the source. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.

      Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
