21stANNR32.jpg

"The GT-R had been conceived with one goal in mind: to win in Group A motor racing and put Nissan at the top of the pile occupied by race cars like the Ford Sierra RS500 Cosworth, BMW M3, and the big Aussie bruiser, the Holden Commodore…" [Andy Butler]

This is an official SAU event, to commemorate the 21st birthday of the R32 Skyline GT-R, with all SAUers welcome. Starting at Tench Reserve on the Nepean River, we will drive through the Blue Mountains National Park via Richmond, Bell, and Mount Victoria, ending up at the Edge Cinemas at Katoomba, where we have arranged a special, private screening of the highlights of the 1992 Tooheys Bathurst 1000, an unforgettable race which helped cement the R32 GT-R in Australian motorsport history.

Event Date: Sunday, 10th October, 2010 (10/10/10); 9.00 AM

Please note this event will go ahead rain or shine.

Cost: Cinema tickets are $15.00 per person, first come; first served. Maximum 10 tickets per person. Limit of 365 tickets available. If all tickets are sold out, you are more than welcome to join us for the cruise from Penrith to Katoomba via Bell.

Your $15 ticket includes cinema admission and a $1.50 donation to the Children's Hospital @ Westmead.

PM'd you Genelle with alternative arrangements!

Still send me an E-mail please because then I can put a flag next to your name or names.

God_speed will erect a Spreadsheet for me tomorrow. He's responsible for all the cuts/pastes/photobuckets etc.

It's heartwarming to see others getting behind this, and those who have paid will be contacted by PM as well as mail.

:3some: The Children's Hospital is going to love us all!

woOhOO!! can't wait ;) glad to be helping out once again on such a big event Terry!! looks like it might be much better than the R34 bday..

by the way, any speed/red light/safety cameras we need to aware people of?

sounds great, I'll be there! And since it is a CAMS event, I can drive the race car :banana:

Payment details sent for 2 tickets

2 Tickets sent Duncan > Duncan and Kel

On behalf of the kiddies, Thank You! :)

^^^ Yes, it looks like it Nick. SAU Execs and our core organising committee (from the R34 Event '09) are at work.

We started off with 365 seats > it's now down to the 340s.

They're coming from interstate ie. SA & ACT too!

Please remember guys to contact the E-mail address on 'Original Post' with your particulars, to purchase your tickets.

"Payment" is the subheading you need to look at, and follow!!!

    • @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.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
