Hi Guys,

I just noticed WSID are now starting to have drag meets on sundays once a month and thought it would be a great opportunity to get together and dominate the strip with Skylines loldomokun.gif

details Link below.

More time for talking and mixing.

Might go if i get my engine back and run in by then...

lol, car park meets are for talking and mixing, go to a venue like this to race instead of standing around :)

It's a good idea by WSID but will never, never have the amount of runs that a private hire has

thing is you could do half a dozen off street meets/test n tune days for the price of a single private hire day.

Or Do what I did...enter a comp (I did the Willowbank Street Series)

That way you actually get to "drag race" with none of this faggy sit on the start line for 10 mins while I wait for the perfect rpm/boost then go

What the f are you talking about?

At private hire days by 20 minutes into the day (no exaggeration) there is no more than 4 cars at the staging lanes. You get your slip then go straight to the start line again with less than a 1 minute wait for the couple of cars in front of you, or if you want to drag a friend then line up with the friend and go together.

Virtually zero waiting is why the private days are good. Try getting that at an off street meet for your $50. 5 runs at a street meet for $50 or 40+ runs for $220 - you do the math.

Edit; Given the rules for private hire, the sort of cars that sit on the transbrake on the start line generally dont come as there is a time cut off and those guys are too fast for it. A transbrake for 20 seconds, not 10 minutes, isnt a big deal anyway unless youre dying the 20 seconds (if that) it takes for that car to leave the line really doesnt matter over the course of the day.

    • 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. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
