There were some dudes up at houghton last night drifting in the  middle of the road.. AE86's i think.  I was on the way up to my mums.. they were taking it pretty seriously by what they were doing.... I wonder if it was in preparation for saturday?

Came down my road (range rd nth) the other day too - Blue AE86, plates where NA 1600, driving like he thought he was Shcumacher

I'm sure in the near future a gum tree or another car will remind him that he is not....................

And I wonder why my neighbours and people on our roads think all jap car drivers are doing crazy shit like this all the time

Doesn't give the public a good perception of jap car enthusiasts, and we wonder why everyone is getting pulled over and harrassed by cops

I had a cop waiting at the top of my drive not long ago, I approached him in my car and asked him what he was doing -

"We had a call some people where driving dangerously and one almost hit another car" fair enough I reckon, shit like that on public roads isnt the right thing to do, and if people get caught, bad luck

In the end, its just going to get to the point where there will be so much attention from the cops due to a few people, owning a import will not be worth it

Couldnt of been better said chris, i look at other sa forums and all hey brag about it there sik drifting the previous night at various sa locations. Then ill look a few hours later and see, f**kin cops, i got defected etc....

Its a waay to often senario which seems the real enthusiasts such as some of us get burnt while the others keep ruinin it for us all.

I agree Chris, some people dont have a clue, I see alot more holden and ford drivers doing crazy sh1t on the roads - and not in modded cars either, usually the heaps of crap.

When the imports are all off the road, they will only have local built cars to pick on. People will drive like d1ck heads no matter what cars they are in, its the driver not the car.

I know people that thrash their commodores up through the hills, so its not the unique domain of the import owner. Hell some drunken d1ck in a ford decided to do a reverse gear burnout through an intersection and just about hit Deans car (I was passenger) one night during a cruise.

If your neighbours think its just jap car drivers, then they are unfortuneately stereotyping. Not much anybody can do about that - its human nature somewhat.

So true guys, but its falling on deaf ears. How long have people been doing burnouts and racing on streest for? Since 50's? 60's?

So why has it become a problem associated with "Import" cars and their drivers when we all know stick basically anyperson in ANY car and they still will try do those stupid things.

And this now gets me to the whole consfication of cars that may be introduced, which i know will target import cars.....

And steve, yeh i remember that bogan, and ur sik navigation skillz

Anyone go today?? I liked the grey R32 (no biased opinions here :)) Also thought the white Dr30?? was pretty cool. So was James and Trent though :P

Damn that rally spec commie can go at it:) If they made em like that from the factroy i would sell the line :(

Mark's 33 Is NUTS tho hahaha

Pitty about it kissin the wall tho it is a sweet car.

JMS had some SUPER bad luck, Danny with a failed gearbox and christian not making it.

Have to say as well the D1 Garage Car's gave me an eyegasm when i saw them haha, and the skill they have is nuts!

Yeah Kelly's Gray 32 is nut's he has alot of skill to, and just to top it off.....

Riddle me this.....

Why the hell was that peice of crap ford out there i mean that Commie had skills but i mean please, i'll get my mum out there in the Laser next meet and she will do better haha

    • @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.
