AAAAAAAAAlright, you've successfully scared the shit outta me :)

I'll go, but i think il just take it easy.

A20089 is it alright if i follow you up, never been there before/ have no idea what to do,

My tires are good.

Brakes are shit.

Gotta get an oil change.

Valve caps... ?

Got a wheel alignment the other day.

anything else that I need to remember to buy ?

Hahaha don't stress.. I did it in an almost 20 year old stock R33... changed the brake pads/oil/filter, and chucked on a friends semi slicks. Nothing broke, all was good :thumbsup:

When you get there, just claim a garage (well, carport) and wait for announcements. They'll tell you when to head over for scrutineering etc :)

No problems following me up, I normally take the highway up there to save time and the back roads on the way back. (got into a bit of trouble with the HWP on the back roads on the way up a while ago) I leave early say 6.30 northside to get there at 7.30. (I live southside). Take 30 mins to prep car for the track by removing all excess gear, loggin on as a driver and greeting fellow drivers, 8am scruteering.

If your brakes are bad, get some new pads and/or the whole lot serviced. Brakes are very important. I use EBC yellow pads, which are great for the track but I do not rate them as a general street pad. Plenty of people to offer advice on pads choise in this forum.

If you want to swap over your oil closer to the date at my place feel free to drop me a PM. As I said I have some new 10-60 if you need it.

I also have a spare 4 pack of metal valve caps, $5 if you want (cost me that at supercheap)

Fire extinguisher will be needed and securly mounted in the car

Take some spare oil up with you

Take gear to change oil and wheels, including your spare wheel. Other tools never go astray. Nothing has ever been stolen from Wakefield in my 50+ times there.

If you have them, bring zip ties and metal hose clamps (cheap and always come in handy)

Take money for food and race license and fuel

Optional take a 20 litre fuel container to save you going into town for more fuel 3/4 of the way through the day

Electrical tape is also very handy as well as gaffa tape (electrical for stuff you want to remove later, gaffa for stuff you want to stay on)

you been there 50+ times? holy crap!

Ive shortened my s13 lcs by 20mm so no more -10deg camber and hopefully less under steer. it was ok for drifting but i nearly had to change grumbles name to mr plow last time i was at wakie:pirate:

how much castor do you run? mines about 7deg (again drifting) and i need to pull it back

i need all the girlys at the kink to flash the other drivers so they run off and i'll become champion of the world

yeah, but they are the JJR adjustable ones so the minimum is 20mm shorter. i can take them out 20mm longer than standard s13 arms if i need :thumbsup:

i need to do a few things yet, i probably wouldnt able to make teh 15th, got a link anyway?

This sounds tempting, the only issue is getting home if something goes wrong I guess....

How did you attach your extinguisher? I don't fancy drilling holes in the floor, but I guess I could fab up a bracket so it could be bolted to the front passenger seat rails.

^^ This

Even just a couple of alloy straps would work ok

Luckily I've never had an issue driving home, even with blown turbo's, worn out brakes etc. Worst case, hire a car and car trailer for a few hours.

Mark attached my extinguisher, quickly with bolts to the car before I could say no. I'm thinking of attaching another, so undecided exactly where and how I will mount it.

*******Nothing attached Zebra**********

    • @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.
