Circuit Club Wakefield Park On Australia Day Jan 26th


Recommended Posts

Hi Guys,

went to the last meeting just before xmas and it was a very enjoyable day. The fact i was the only one of 2 skylines there prompts me to post this email i

received from circuit club. Im new to the track scene and could not find much info on or about whether SAU organises any events of this nature.

i have just recently got back into a GTR and i am loving the adrenalin associated with this type of racing. Hope to see you guys out there

Cheers

Steve

I was going to attend the day just before Xmas until I found out it had over 70 cars...

That was actually a trial format which had 6 groups. I dont think there would have been 70 cars that day, 50 at most - plenty of track time that day. :woot:

After speaking to Jane, they will be going back to the old format of 4 groups capped at 60 cars. First in best dressed! :D

the last one was pretty awesome, even though there were more groups, there was heaps of tracktime!

I wont make this one, need to finish the car first, but I want to be back out for the following one.

Also, there was more like 5 skylines there last time, its just yours was the only really worth watching :)

Stu,

You should get your dinosky AASA log booked and do MRA at wakefield too :P

I wont be at c/club as I'll hopefully be down a week later with MRA

Will try and make it!

The Christmas trackday was fun but had to leave early as rear brake pads were shot.

My tires got chewed up pretty badly too for some reason. I have done a few trackdays at Wakefiled and i never got chunks torn out of my tire as badly as I did on that day..

is this event noob friendly???

im keen to do a few track days this year but have very little track experience

It will be my brother in laws first time at the track as well :P he is also from the hills,

so you are not alone! You will be basically put in the slowest group for the day. (make sure

you get there early to listen in on the drivers brief to learn about the rules)

I have just finished putting his gtr together - hoping for 300awkw - cant wait to see

him pilot this for the first time :)

Well my trailer is loaded, just gotta throw some tools + fuel in the back of the ute and im ready to go.

Hoping for 1:14's or better :P

4

Will be good to catch up with you cheif!

will load the trailer tomoz :O

the less ppl = the more track time,

both fingers crossed for good weather!

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • 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.
