My problem was the I got ebay chinese 1zz coils (were not stamped Denso), and they just fail and don't give spark.  I replaced them with vdo branded 1zz coils and they are fine.  You will be fine with either VDO or Denso.

I am off to Lake Mountain Sprint this weekend in the Skyline

Hi Ben,

 

Thanks for the quick response.

Good luck at Lake Mountain, with all the rain we've had over the last week I imagine there will be a fair bit of debris on the course. Have you done an event with Mountain Motorsport before?

 

I'm back from Lake Mountain.  I had the car come off the trailer on the way to the boat which damaged the intercooler, no holes but blocked a few tubes.  Thanks to Roy for looking found Melb for a replacement, but I recided to use what I had.

It took me a while to get back up to speed, but by the last few stages we were starting to get the correct amount of speed from the car.  Still some more to go, but getting better in the lead up to Targa.

This was the last stage for the event.

Fire was pretty small.  I overfilled the sump, so it spat a heap of oil out, when the catch can filled up it started putting oil in the engine bay, which found it's way onto the turbo.  Made it out for race 1, but it was cut short because of an evo that couldn't handle the wet.  Hoping for more rain tomorrow

 

 

Fk, given the carnage down there this weekend that is a big call.  Looked to be a bit of a shambles with just about every race having bent cars in it.

Loving the variety in your category.  20B Rx, four Skylines (Who's is the Calsonic one?) and two nutters running Westfields in a category that includes Falcons and Commodores. The Emo ok or is it stuffed as well?

Post up your interview. Looked smooth.

Race 2 was great today, torrential rain.  I went from 10th to 4th in the first lap before being red flagged.  On the restart I went from 10th to 3rd on the first lap, and ended up 4th at the end of the race.  I had oil pressure problems (not enough oil in sump)  in the last race, so pulled the car in before I damaged anything.

The calsonic car is a local one.  gtst with gtr wide body and rb26.  Emo isn't too bad

I just need to find the correct oil level for the new sump for the circuit.

So I did a hill climb a few weeks ago and the car was pushing oil again, so I decided to investigate it properly.  I only got the problem after I put the new sump on, so I looked through some old logs and compared it to current logs.  It turns out by fixing the oil pressure (or lack of pressure) problem I had created another with too much oil in the head.  A few years ago I get followed the sydneykid guide for the oil restrictors (1.25mm and block), but that starved the head and made the lifers rattle.  So now I'm going to have to go back to that setup.

So since the head has to come off I've decided to strip it down and do rings and bearings, and also fix the bits that weren't done properly when it was rushed together the first time.  So it's off at the machine shop at the moment to have it ready to go for snowy riger sprint in Sept

Sounds like we get advice from the same people.  my restrictors are threaded so I'll be able to but new ones in, I was going to run mig tips but they were too hard to get a die over.  I'm planning on 2x 0.9 (from 2x 1.5)

The Skyline dash is suede from spotlight, at the time it was cheaper than flocking.

I did get a flock kit from a woodwork shop to do the dash of the Subaru, it's pretty easy, paint the glue on then tip the flock on then wait.

    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
