I know its early, but MG Car Club have released the registration for 2010 Tighe Cams Hillclimb Series, and entries already open for the Gatton Sprints in March!!! And the QLD Supersprint Series at Morgan Park is always oversubscribed, so if you want to get into that now is the time to call them about registering for the series.

I love Lakeside, but with the state of the track at the moment with massive rocks used as fill right up to the edge of the track on the apex of a few fast corners, I think I'm going to give the place a miss until they sort it out. There's going to be plenty more broken windscreens and damaged intercoolers there if they don't do something about it. I've done plenty of days there over the past couple of years now anyway, so I'm happy to sit a few out.

I think I'll do the Tighe Cams Hillclimb Series next year instead. Got lots of mates who run there and I haven't done an event at Mt Cotton since 2007, and they also have a round at Noosa now ;) No longer have to suck up to the hysteric mob to run at Noosa!I think a 180SX should be pretty competitive in Marque Sports. Here's a link to the 2010 rules and classes as well as the series registration form:

Ben, the raly car class should be fine for your car. I know it says PRC, but its intended for all rally cars including tarmac rally cars. Its a new class too, so new records... :);)

I REALLY want to get onto the track in 2010. I'm just hoping things go my way (which i think they have started to) and i'll be in a position to either buy a GTR, or buy a track hack so i can atleast do something

Everything you suggest looks pretty cool to me mate, need to spice it up a bit I reckon. :)

cool, I should have a home ground advantage (at least initially!) at Mt Cotton ;)

I'm not into street sprints, so I won't be doing them. Too mickey mouse for my liking. Low speed "tracks" 90 degree turns and chicanes don't do much for me. I'll just do the Hillclimb series and probably a couple of other things here and there. I think the Aus Supersprint Championship that's goign to be at Morgan Park sometime next year too.

Join SAUVic so that you can get a CAMS license, and then enter into the WRX Club run Motorsport Championship (SAU Vic piggy back off of it) enter a event at Winton as a Driver Trainee and go from there.

Yeah that's what I'm mostly keen on too. Did my first Mickey Mouse street sprint this year at Wheels on Wide Bay, but although it was fun (because of the group of peeps we went with) it's not really my taste. Every run I had was sabotaged due to the arse clown in front of me in a VN spinning and dragging shit/water onto the track every run.

I ended up getting the major shits and used the armo as a burm to net fastest time in my class. Had to :)

I just posted my hillclimb series registration.

And did a deal on a 180SX to transfer my gear into :rofl: No more zip ties and tek screws! I guess the novelty factor of running a complet sh.tbox wore off...

My motorsport in 2010 will be slowed down a bit.

I'll be doing what I can with a club im in (Southern Sporting car club) but wont be doing the full series next year as I'll be missing a few rounds due to my wedding and stuff.

I'll try and do a couple rounds of the MX5 challenge.

Other than that, yeah it wont be as full on as this year unfort :rofl:

Oh Weevils....If all goes well on the 12th of Dec...I hope you fit in a MRA round for 2010!!

My 2010 year is going to be jammed packed...Will be purchasing a race car very shortly once I decide which one I want

Will be starting off with supersprints,hillclimbs and loads of driver training and then will hopefully dabble in a MRA Round at the end of the year.

I will also doing Race Control throughout the year and will be venturing interstate with Garry Willmington at I-Race Series to do Race Control at one of his QLD rounds cause I wanna see places :D

Plus I will hopefully fit in Navigating at a few Rally Rounds as well

Motorsport FTW.......... :D Bring it on!!!!!! :)

I'm looking for a full on year if all goes according to plan. Will do the full timeattack series at qr, Definitely want to see a lot more of morgan park. March I am going to victoria for 2/3 weeks to run whatever tracks are available, The island, Sandown etc. May I am going to sydney for the Superlap weekend. Plus whatever else I can squeeze in.

This year was a total writeoff so next year is going to pay double. :down:

it never wears off! I bought a second one for a streeter.....

Also old and busted.

Still not 100% what i want to do next year.

Hello kitty needs a few tweaks and some maintenance before it goes out again. I suspect part of next year will be sorting suspension and alignment to suit the new power and then i can start chasing times again.

The new thing will hopefully be drivable early next year and it will get some basic tweaks and just get driven for a bit of fun, maybe a deca or something and some MDTC days.

S13's are where it's at! Except for mine... :)

My plan for next year is to run all rounds of the SAU/WRX club sprints in the 180, so a few sprints and DECA's in the Rex and hopefully get to Oran Park in Jan before it closes.

    • @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.
