Went down to watch two mates race on the weekend and was amazed how many Skylines there were.

Neither of my mates have Skylines but I made sure I got lots of pictures:

Yeah I was suprised! I was at QR saturday because I had my girl and her dad in a V8 experience car, to see a bunch of cool cars arriving for the afternoon sprints! So many cars that I haven't seen before, why don't some come to Lakeside...... noise limit is a lame excuse, just about anything can pass.

Not hatin, invitin :):ninja:

Thought instead of people starting a thread for each QR sprint day we'll just have a general one

we can use for chatting about QR sprints, seeing who is going, results, pictures, etc.

Top idea...

Looking forward to bringing the 32 out on a regular basis.

honestly ben, Iv'e genuinely been told car will be too loud for lakeside by QR staff. I'm happy to turn up but wouldnt want to be the one to ruin it for others...

Would love a bash at lakeside!!

I popped out on Sat too. Sone new cars good to see. :)

ps - no idea on the new QR website where to download results....? Anyone shed some light for the challenged ones?

im in the same boat as mick. The screamer pipes are not a big hit with the DB meters :) or perhaps they are too big a hit :>

When can we expect to see your car back out at QR mick ??

Did you hang around for the afternoon mate or did you have to leave?

It would have been nice to catch up.

Last time I was at Lakeside I was asked to leave.

My car even with the street legal exhaust was 2dB over the reduced peak noise limit (95dB) at Lakeside. This was measure at the far end of the back straight where the car was in high gear and rpm. I could have slowed down around there but it defeat the purpose of "time trial".

I would love to come back but don't want to transport the car all the way up there to only have a few laps and a black flag for 97dB at 9krpm.

I also got defected before for using RE55 on the street. I am so over driving car with restrictions now (from QLD transport or Lakeside). I will turn it into a full track car and make QR it's home ;)

Come over and say hello next time Marlin. I have the black r32 with the white wheels and was testing the tin can on the boot lol

surely you could drop 2db with their dodgy "steel-wool-up-the-tailpipe" mod. there was a PP Group C RX7 running there last weekend... and Group A turbo Sierra and R32 GTR. If they don't need to break the noise limits, neither does a club level street/track car.

slight exhaust mods are a small price to pay to get to use one of the best tracks in the country. I've had to put exhausts on 2 of my cars to run them there. It certainly beats the alternative of leaving the exhaust alone and only having the option of driving the unrivaled worst track in the country.

Ah man, the enormous rear alloy wing?

You were trailering in as I was jumping in my car, sorry I missed you. I'm not shy, and waited around the black 33 gtr for a while for an owner, but had to get going, missus was all hot n shit from driving and wanted to get back to the pool :D

I'm just astounded we can't get these Skyline's passing noise tests, I have mates running PP Rotors that pass! I think you need to bring it to my muffler guy.

And Mark Berry's currently having a muffler built for the weapon 34 GTR so he can have a run there, he said he'd do any mod required to get it onto Lakeside.

And maybe, just maybe, we might end up with a Superlap type event at the track, so, wouldn't it be worthwhile getting some practice in for that? :P:D

I removed my race exhaust, got an exhaust shop to chopped up my old HKS street exhaust and weld in an Australian muffler and it was not enough..so I gave up.

having seen said black 32 with white wheels - I can justify to it being loud - rb30 wouldn't help

Yes the race exhaust is back...it's probably making in excess of 105dB at the moment.

Quite loud without the helmet.

    • @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.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
