yea was a fun weekend

cheers brad for the help, the alignment which felt shit on the road was farken awesome at the track

had to completely adjust my style of driving to get the best out of the car as there is now very limited understeer (in the rain it was understeer city though)

truly amazing that the car held together

couple of issues (the bad)

the accelerator pedal fell off(looks like i didnt tighten those bolts)

if revved over 6k the breather would oil up the rear turbo and go through the engine and out the exhaust(definatley needs a catch can)

car would only do 8 laps before fuel surge (ghetto mod to fuel pump got it across the line)

single peice tail shaft is not balanced i think which is quite annoying

fire extinguisher tried to escape a few times

once it rained the window fogged up like a bitch

the good

car went hard all weekend even though we could only rev her to 6k

stoptech brakes were awesome

driving standards were quite high

anyway a 1:10 on 3 year old ku36's and only reving to 6k and heavy traffic is fine

i think even with the shit tyres it would easily do a low 1:08 as i was not pushing it at all to get the low 1:10

anyway, its back to brad's for a surge tank, catch can, front lsd and hopefully back out for the circuit club day

i am still amazed that it made it and kept on trucking!

anyway enough bullshit here are some pics

I do remember telling you it would feel like busted arse on the road but would be nice on the circuit ;)

Good to hear straight off the trailer it handled well, got some idea bout setting up a skyline hey ;)

Haven't finished the setup yet, needs a little more work on the scales.

Can't help laugh at the throttle pedal that's truely a fatz only moment!

The fatz racer has shinny parts,

Dunno how long they will look like this for but meh.

Catch can has a low side that drains back to the sump.

There is also a custom catch can infront of the battery and a new design under car surge tank that ive been developing.

Ill put up some photos of it latter but it holds 4.5L and supports two 044 pumps or a single weldon pump. Has internal baffles and is also foam filled.

I make heaps of them.

I've got a few designs now depending on how much people want to spend.

I don't have any sitting around I haven't been bothered to make any for a while. Currently I'm just making them to order when needed.

    • 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.
