There's a Lambo entered? o.O damn.. wish my car was ready lol

That's MPC's new Lambo that they will be testing for the GT series.

Sunday is going to cold and wet, there are a fair few entrants. Hopefully the track isn't crowded and hopefully there are no major incidents that delays everything

Forget the delays, I dont mind delays from accos as some other poor bastard is struggling more then me. Oil and breakages are frustrating though....just hope ppl dont bend them as they have a habit of costing the earth to fix :thumbsup:

Shame to read you are expecting crappy weather, was hoping that the GTSt guys would get into the 21-22s

Ahhh, hope it doesn't rain! Not looking too good though.... should of kept my Continentals! Kumho KU36s now, hope they are good in the wet.

If it's really wet I'll be chucking on my KU36's as well.

Sorry to see that you aren't goint to make it Chris but I think there is another Sandown day later in the year.

As for the weather last I heard it was scattered morning showers then fine in the arvo. Personally I'm keeping my fingers crossed as my 55's are well worn and we know what happened the last time that happened :)

im in. its been too long without hitting the track plus i have a ton of terrible lifeless and treadless 55's to get rid of. where else would you do it but Sandown in the wet!?

LOL considering the proximity of walls at Sandown my choice would be PI or Winton for a bit of fun in the wet :verymad:

yes coming along to laugh at the rest of us is encouraged.

just turn up to sandown through the dandy rd entrance. security on gate will ask you who

is running the day, maybe.

park out the back of the pits, with all the other cars.

you can stand up the top of the pits or wonder through.

sweet, gonna come down for a watch tomorrow!

Anyone know the times cars will be running? Also, whats the official name of the event if security gets nosey?

Cheers

Brilliant day guys! Was my first time out with you all and had an absolute blast! Car went well, had the expected level of brake fade and new my clutch pressure plate was dying so when she started going it wasn't a total surprise but managed to run a 1:37.3 in a totally stock r32 gtst, very happy!

Sorry I didn't get to meet more of you I couldn't work out who was who.

Question, I don't remember filling in my sau comp category anywhere? How does that whole comp points thing work?

Cheers!

sorry i could make it out there today. sounds like you all had a good day.

did anyone have any dramas?

heres the timing for those interested :blush:http://www.natsoft.com.au/cgi-bin/results.cgi?27/06/2010.SAN

looking forward to pics!

*edit* just noticed there was a lambo gallardo on the list pushing some pretty quick times. was it race spec or something?

    • 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.
