As I said to Ben on the phone I am most happy to supply my basic shade like we used at Kadina, but then thought about this:

http://www.dealsdirect.com.au/p/white-part...-walls-windows/

If we all chipped in and bought this, then SAU would OWN it. So a once-off donation from the people going of about $15 and it can be used for future events for free. Looks pretty awesome, is much bigger than mine (and presumably properly waterproof), and has side and rear protection.

Sounds good to me - can you order it andrew? I'll be happy to chip in

call it bullshit by only quoting one post D.....not very smart, is it????

Ben i might have a mate coming with me as well....so will let you know about the breaky for him as well mate.

So as far as detailing/car washing is concerned, Ive done a quick search and came up with these:

Loxton Quick 'n Easy Car Wash

Auto bay, manual bays, vacuum and fragrance bays, car detailing service available. Water-wise car wash using recycled water. Open 24 hours, 7 days a week.

Bookpurnong Tce, Loxton.

Ph: 08 8584 5477

Riverland Mobile Detailing

9 Baynes St

Barmera SA 5345, Australia

0407 781 772

I would be happy having my car detailed here, and then just taking it to the DIY carwash up there and do a quick touchup. Or else we could ring that mobile detailer if there is a few of us but not quite enough for your detailer Ben.

ahh, good work Dion :)

yep gw - we'll enquire about these cats once people have paid their entry forms and lodging

pay entry 1st > pay lodging 2nd > pay detailer 3rd

I'm not even going to book a detail job if folks haven't got their entry or lodgings sorted :)

Today I got the SAU banner and 2x nissan flags off cara - Thanks for arranging xport cara, I appreciate it!

I'd like to find a place that leases flagpoles, or find some place I can possible get some earth-bound sticks with clips.. any suggestions? my front lawn is avail as a testbed if anyone has any kooky ideas

-D

yep I bought it at that special price this morning :)

awesome work :happy: ill drop some cash off to ya on behalf of Abe and myself (he already gave me cash last week at villis for the tent hire, have to get him some change tho)

In other news, Cara sent the banner and flags down - now I just need to find a place that rents portable flagpoles cheap, unless anyone here is good with metalwork/woodwork

-D

Dont worry about the change, put it towards the tent :)

and don't worry about getting the cash to me .... at the event or whenever we bump into each other is fine mate .... it was only around $148 delivered, so sits on the Visa with little consequence :)

i will be pressed for time to get the car back up and running for this show....going away isnt helping either....and damn HYPERGEAR turbos not helping at all....

heh

garrett or gtfo - does this mean you might be pulling out?

-D

OK cool, that makes things much easier, I'll fix u up for myself and Abe on the weekend

Folks - pay me for brekkies on the day, pay Andrew for the tent when we get there. Easy as.

Any updates on entry forms? Who hasnt yet paid/lodged their entry?

-D

    • 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.
    • 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.
