Excellent. :)

Trent if you guys want to either come early - or stay a while later I can arrange storage of your cars in Melb as well if you like. There are some good 2 Day Phillip Island days around Oct/Nov + another really good day at Sandown on Oct 16th.

Plus for others thinking of coming specifically for the motorsport side Winton will be open on the Friday before the SAU Nats (non timed practice) and also on the Sunday with our affiliate car club (WRX Club) that we can arrange entry for.

The other option for extra motorsport is to stop off at Bathurst for Drive Bathurst on Nov 9-13. There are a few of us from here doing this after the Nationals.

We are trying to put a plan together to have 10 Mercury cars come down, including Mark's R35 Time attack car.

Do or do not, there is no try.

On second thoughts, just do. Forget the do not.

Holy fark - 10 cars, that would be an awesome!

Noel (Fineline) and a few others were all looking to come down as well so you would get some decent priced half-way accommodation as well if you were going to do it in two parts.

When you've worked out the cars you are bringing - shoot me a PM or gimme a buzz if you still have my number Trent.

Would like to use some of them as Featured Cars on the website, facebook and all that kinda thing :thumbsup:

That goes for anyone else as well with a car thats a little different!

Shaping up to be quite the spectacle indeed. Be quite amazing to see a good fleet of R35s about.

We are looking at going with a couple of cars - R32 and R35 GTR

However it would be worth it alone just to see Handbrakes awesome car again and the rest of the Mercury fleet. Tough stuff these things :)

Make that "...a few cars - R32 and 2 x R35 GTR's..."

Slip.

Sebs a good man. He knows a week is more than enough time to turn it around.

Actually mate - the Sandown day I mentioned on Oct 16th is the Maserati Day that you can Neil came down for previously. There are plenty of cool cars at that event (just not likely to be any actual Maserati's however! LOL)

And rASh - Slips car definitely needs to be a feature car too :)

I don't have your number, but sms me on 0402 421 437 so I have it.

    • 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.
