A couple from Sandown. Still doesn't really feel like *my* car but hey I ain't changing it cos it goes well even with a tard like me behind the wheel!

Haha - mate that's definitely your car because it never really felt like my car!

THIS was my car. (even though your car is definitely better than this thing ever was, it still holds my heart today).

some awesome pics in here guys, didnt expect a sub-sub section thread to take off so well, pleasant surprise!

The sliding in the dirt ones are the most dramatic and exciting i must admit, you have some cojones Harry, gotta admit, not sure i would have big enough balls to try that sort of stuff off the bitumen. Same thing for targas, scary close to trees :blink: it is a long time dream to one day compete at the iconic Tasmanian adventure however, what kind of budget would someone need for that as a minimum though?

k, keep the great shots coming guys!

here's a few of the slightly crazy 1200 coupe I had a few years ago. 230rwkw CA18DET and slow, vague steering were not a very nice combination. You certainly knew you were alive in this thing though. It was only really good for hillclimbs because if you did more than 2 laps of a proper race track, the turbo would fall off the manifold.

These are from Mt Cotton Hillclimb's corner known as Lover's Leap:

and one from Lakeside just before I sold it. This was just after passing a STi in the wet - got a little sideways under the bridge... this lap was still the FTD before they cancelled the event due to the number of cars in the wall.

Damn you've had some nice cars Harry!

Still wish I had gotten my old RX7 up there to lakeside when it first re-opened :( Silly me joined the Army instead...then sold it to buy a POS (the R33)

$15k is the minimum I reckon. Closer to $20k if you're running out of Qld like I do.

Could possibly do it tighter, but it's a "bucket list" event, so if you're going to do, then, "Do It!" :)

supra's first track day - a very wet Wakefield just after the resurfacing in Jan 2008 I think. I was planning on taking the CA18 1200 down there, but it was under the house with a broken diff and a fallen off turbo as usual...

and its second track day at QR the week after, getting hounded out of turn 6 by a couple of mates in their Z's:

I'll stop whoring this thread with my Supra now...

and keep whoring it with other cars!

the complete POS Sil80 that gave me my first sub 60 sec lap of Lakeside :)

and a couple on track just behind Ben(Marlin) - this is what happens when the front left wheel bearing craps out and gives you some serious knock-off at the end of the front straight at over 200kph...

All pretty much stock as, all driven to the track, no tyre changes nothing. Pretty much the slowest out there, but i still love it!

I think the most work I've ever done on a car at a track day is trying to set up a bloody GoPro camera. :thumbsup:

The N1 at Oran Park - man i miss Oran Park!!

    • 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.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
