It was a good display... good effort and looooots of people... but next time.. might be a good idea to have paramedics and fire extinguishers on stand by,... if dave was seriously hurt in the R32 4 door... it would have taken a f**ckn long time to get him to a hospital.. just a thought..,.

someone rolled it!?!? .... that is not good, hope no one was hurt..any pics of the car after?

Also someone went into the crowd?

Hmm I think may need to do a safety review by the sounds of it, maybe a few more barrier's in front of the crowd but far enough away from the track so the cars dont hit it if its only a minor spin off.

Also I agree that there should be atleast paramedic's there, and maybe a few volunteers from the local CFS....it sounds like these events are really taking off and I cant wait for the next one in 4 or so months time.. it would be a shame to see the event lost due to someone getting seriously injured or killed.

Just my thoughts,

Rob.

I was quite impressed by the commodores actually.. they did suprisingly well, and Simon in his NA 4AGE AE86.

Although, I'd rather see denzo drift that saliva instead of doing a burnout and blowing it up, cos we've all seen tuff burnouts in our day...really didn't do it for me

Was run much better this time compared to last time, 5 on the track @ once is a bit of a task for a lot of amateur drifters on such a small circuit and there were a lot of near misses too.

I had a ball, and I wore Suncream :)

I'll post my pics up ASAP

Did anyone catch the 32 rolling on film cos we JUST missed it cos we were focessed on another car.....

Denzo's car was off its tits and was awesomegot his whole show on film!

And sunburnt god damn tell me about it i got murdered to death!

Yes will have to look at the safety thing a bit more in future. No matter how many times i told the Drivers to take it easy in the first and last Corners they didnt listen. The excitement must get to them?? Think I might have to pull some of them off the Track next time if they dont listen to the first warning. It would be a shame if someone got hurt .

How many times did I also have to stop the meet because of People hanging their Legs over the barriers. After JJ spun off and the rear of his Car hit the wall my heart was pounding everytime I say someone with their legs over.

For those who are interested this site has a bit about the meet also

im so ****en sunburnt. Dammit.

Also there will always be a problem with safety. The majority of the crowd wer idiots that wouldnt listen to what the organisers where trying to tell them. Also i think some of the drivers on track wer idiots, and driving stupidly at certain corners (refer JMS). But all in all it was a excellent day.

Steve: Yes it was a red one, damn clean too!! Had a vented bonnet, and yes maybe it had a black roof too. Not sure about the widebody kit, but the guards did look like they were flared. If it was a widebody, it wasn't wide enough cos about 1" of the rims/tyres were sticking out from the side of the car (when viewed from the front). Looked damn cool like that nonetheless. It's tyres were really stretched over the rims, in true drift style :rofl: The owner popped the bonnet, had some good mods. Looked like a custom plenum, pipework and low mount turbo from what I could see. Turbo looked decent sized too. Had a HUGE intercooler at the front too :D

Off the topic, I saw a damn funny car on the day. Well, it looked funny to me...but may look wicked to other people. It was a silver lancer GSR, with twin cannon mufflers...but the mufflers were separate and one was bigger than the other? I love twin cannon mufflers, but if they are the same size. Not when they are different sized. One of my friends said maybe the smaller muffler was for the external wastegate. Uhuh... ;) It just looked kinda strange to me, that's all. But each to their own. Different people have different taste.

    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.
