And if you are buying tyres shoot me an email. I will be back in July for a wedding ...so if we buy three or 4 sets it would be great if we could get them for 20 or so less a tyre. What are they these days for a 255/40/17 and 245/45/17? $400???

Yeah it has been a while for you hasn't it Troy...

245/40/17 is like $460. Budget for 2k and you might get change...

Trouble, in the morning sessions I used to shirt shift and only use part throttle on boost on the front straight. It was hard to go any quicker then 1:28-1:30, but was good opportunity to check tyre pressures and get some practice on lines etc in. Then after the lunch sessions normally i would get two sessions in. If they EPA ewre still around i would be warned then kicked off....but that only happened twice. Generally they are gone after the morning sessions and you then have the afternoon to go as hard as you dare.

Thats part of the reason with the new setup i am going plumb back. Not sure if its going to help sincei have a titanium exhaust, but the second or so morning session is normally the quickest session of the day and its good to get 4-5 proper sessions in rather then waste the morning by tootling around :thumbsup:

Hey all, Newbie to SAU.

Definitely want to take the R32 to this meet.

Do I need to organise my CAMS before the event? Or can I bring the form and get it done on the day?

If the later, what do I fill in as my competition license number on the entry form?

First SAU event for me & the car so super excited!

Cheers!

Do it before the event mate. Just put TBA on the form and give them licence number on the day

I'd be down for that maybe later in the year. been meaning to try out the new advans

For what car?

straight pipe?

shame about the noise restrictions, EPA are always killing fun.

if anyone wants a bit more meaning out of the 75db at 30m restriction, here's a link that can calculate that into another db figure at a different distance.

troy was talking about his screamer from the gate being vented to atmosphere. my new car has the same turbo setup that he has on the 32.

i think i might get a pipe made up to plumb mine back into the exhaust if i get done for noise.

Cheers Russman!

Have sent in my CAMS today and will register online for the event this arvo!

Bringing my R32 GTS-t down, pretty much stock, just want to turn a few laps to find out where I need to spend some money and to have a bit of fun!

I could bring my mustang down for a laugh but think I'd rather have something that stops & turns! :)

Catch you all there!

    • @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.
