Considering i was a 'free agent' this year seemed to work longer and harder than last year!

Long day yesterday arrived at the track at 8am our final GT race finished at 7.15 and didn't leave the track closer to 10 due to a banged up Merc

Car didn't make it out on track but the 2nd one got a podium for the weekend.

The mosler I was 'working' with kept it on the track and after we discussed some changes on friday night the car picked up 5secs a lap to be competitive today

was great to see the crowds all comment on how interesting the GT races were this year.

and if anyone wants to buy me a AMG SLS i won't say no :worship:

And here come the shameless promo girl pics :D ..... not nearly as many there this year as previous years :( .... but not too bad all the same.

Most of them were behind the pits I found over the last 2 days, ran into a couple in there that i knew ( the joys of throwing after parties :nyaanyaa: )

but over all I thought they were down, and unlike you i don't go out of my way to find them lol

GT had some today for the podium presentation in the paddocks

*EDIT* there are a few more back there behind the drivers

Those AMG cars sounded awesome, but someone has to tell me what the hell was in that Ferrari that lead most the race on Sunday! Thing flew down to that Senna Chicane like an F1 car! The GT40 thought it could fly....backwards into the barrier.

Least the young lad is being taught at a young age :P

Yep the SLS is very Awesome..... not that i'm biased.

The answer to the 458 is Alan Simonsen... if you own a Ferrari and want it to win you give him a call.

Car is same spec and similar speeds to the Merc, but it gets around with a lot more drama and noise, where as the Merc doing similar lap times are some what more relaxed / lethargic sounding so its quite deceptive.

I'm still blown away at the crowds reaction to the GT races this year, its all been so positive its amazing to hear / see.

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
