Forecast for Saturday

Partly cloudy. Areas of light frost and patchy fog in the morning. Isolated showers. Winds westerly averaging 10 to 20 km/h.

City Afternoon shower or two. Min 6 Max 14

That pretty much means clear for Winton, but I don't think they will stop it anyway if it rains.

Had an uneventful ride home. Was an awesome day indeed! Ryan was pushing so hard on his tyres that his front LHS tyre literally had chunks torn out of the edge! Was very tempted to do the sprint comp tomorrow. It definitely shows you what areas your car is lacking in when you're pushing it that hard.

Was good to see everyone, until next time :P

had an awsome day today guys, unfortunetly my injectors were maxing out so i left abit early. saw 2 tmus on the way back hopefully non of yous got pulled over!

I took the other way back, through Merton to Yarra Glen. Some nice twisty roads there and saw no cops. Definately beats the hume which would've put me to sleep.

Anyways was a good day, I don't have a skyline though. I drove the vr clubsport that was probably slowing you guys down. Not surprisingly, my commodore forum had no interest in a track day, so I've been following this thread. Took about 200 photos though, so I'll find what skylines I have in there and post them up here soon if anyone wants.

your best option would be to use photobucket or some site like that put them all up there and link to the gallery, saves having to upload to multiple forums, plus im interested in seeing what else was there.

was my first time out on the track n all i gotta say is what an amazing day it was :)

deffs up for nxt round

i did take pics but unfortunately im capped atm so wont be able to upload for another 7 days :P

I think I remember you... not sure though... I had a dark club sport inbetween me and my possie when we were heading to Winton in the morning, it did a little 'squeaky' turning off the off ramp. Was that you? Anyway, you should have said hello.

Same with you Jason! I didn't even get to see the helmet >.<

Was much more awesome fun to know a few more people this time, makes the day heaps more worth it :)

MY KIDNEYS ARE KILLING ME!!!!! So are my legs... arrrrrgh! Damn bumps!

Haha yeah that was me, wasn't even intentional but ah well. Unfortunately none of my mates decided to go so I was up there by myself. Still a great day anyway. Id never been to Winton before, so I saw a group of cars that looked ready for some track work on the hume and ended up following you guys there lol.

Your R34 looked quite nice though

Hahaha.. there you go! Cruising as a group is always more fun. :P

Yeah the R34 is good, but the power's all up high... I was pulling most of the cars on the straight (which is actually quite surprising when you see some of the cars out there) but anything around 3000 rpm and below is a bit gutless and a lot of the corners on that track are inbetween 2nd (pinging) and 3rd (around 3k) so it's hard to choose. Had the tyres on 32 on the first round which was really floaty but changed them to 36 and it made a massive difference. Just need to find a way to get more bottom end power and maybe some grippier tyres.

Actually just considering to buy a GTR :)

I had planned on showing up to the meeting at 5:45, however I slept in by an hour and had no chance of getting there lol.

I was disappointed with mine on the straight. Of course I was able to catch the slower cars easy, simply for it being a v8, but I should have gone better. I also hit my rev limiter a couple of times, so I gotta raise that lol. Also developed some kind of misfire around 3k towards the final few rounds, so that put an end to my day really. Mines also pretty gutless below 3k due to the cam thats in it. Can get quite annoying at times.

It was really annoying trying to work out what to do on the corners. I tried to stick to the not overtaking on corners, but most didn't seem to care, and just wanted to push through on the corners. Really got confusing and I'm surprised there weren't more crashes. At least now I know what to expect next time I go. Probably invest in some proper brake pads, and a few suspension mods.

Also, be sure to check out www.ifpix.com. They should have a few more photos up in a few days.

when i was of track i always so u goin down main straight, oh well always nxt meet, but thx anyways for sortin it out for me

agreed, makes the day betta the more ppl u know r there

Was a great day :P

Could only do 3 laps per session till my brakes got to temp then I had to let everyone past me for a lap. Put in QFM A1RM's and new standard discs so I reckon the standard discs and lack of cold air ducting caused all my issues.

Engine started misfiring and pinging by midday, careless reassembly after tuning it the night before :)

Any more pictures?

Will post my snazzy iPhone pics soon, including the gold R33 VERY sideways.

Great day guys, wished I could have run but oh well, next time.

Gotta go the GTR Charli, you won't regret it!

    • @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.
