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.

    • 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.
