:sick: eww

heeeey I am new to SAU and I do own an r33, BUT i wont be entering it this year, anyways I want to know if people from the public can go to this event and watch it like spectators at any drag/drift day? I would love to know how much it would cost per day or for the WHOLE weekend for an adult or 2 just to watch and be able to look at the beauty of the cars and enjoy the day without having to race or enter their car? that is my main concern?

just to watch its free as Ash said in the other thread, it will only be grip racing @ Winton and to spectate that event is also free

I'm not planning on entering the track day or i think show and shine as my car isn't show worthy i don't need the lol's

Welcome aboard Mikey

ok awesome Ryan

does everyone realise that i will be trying to head out @ 5am in the morning so we can try to be there about 3:30pm

straight up the freeway fuel stop @ horsham then all the way to destination

Adelaide > Horsham 429km's 4hr 56min as per google maps >>Here<<

Horsham > Shepparton 332km's 4hr 44min as per google maps >>Here<<

^...Ahh nup didn't realise!... do we need to be there by a particular time?

I sorta was thinking leave about 7.30-8am get there round dinner time unless there is some sort of sign in for the afternoon?

I would rather get there early in the afternoon and have time to have a bit of a look around town, few drinks a nanna nap, or all of the above. Arriving at dinner time is a PITA, especially to catch up with other SAUers there (like Ash) before it gets too late in the day. I also want to head to a car wash to give the beast a wash after the long journey. And I agree with Steve - driving early in the morning is much better for traffic etc also.

Weve no idea what time well be heading over, most likelt around the 7am mark. But id say wed do the usual stop in horsham and grab food,fuel and a walk while where there. not a long enough drive to warrant several stops really

Fair call..I guess you northern folk have further to travel too... I can meet you lot on the freeway near stirling or something!

sounds like a plan Martin so I might join you with my car......we prob have a 1/2 hr head start on the northies

    • @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.
