Happy Laps - Queensland Raceway 22-03-14


Recommended Posts

I more than likely will be coming (to this and the tuned performance dyno),

none of friends invited have committed as yet,

and hopefully the repair cost for the intermittent misfire on the silvia doesn't blow all my spending money.

Doesnt matter what you bring,as long as your there,just a great morning,i find these happylaps better than the ds ones,but thats just my opinion.

not long now,checked all my intake pipes and hoses,cleaned out the throttle body,and cam cover,took it for a quick squirt to make sure every thing was ok,now only have to wash,fuel up,and ill be ready to roll.Only way to keep reliable is by doing regular checks.ps,also did an oil change and filter,just because.

If you like actually going a decent pace around a track they are far better than the DS ones.

I did my first DS on the weekend, was good but to many cars, and also developed shuddering through steering when braking down from high speed. Any ideas I believe it could be rotors? Will hopefully get it in before Saturday's fun.

Is it really bad shuddering? I get some slight shuddering after my rotors heat up but as soon as I get on the road they are perfectly fine again.

List updated with cleared payments. If you haven't paid yet please DO NOT pay into our account now as it may not clear and be confirmed by saturday, just bring cash (preferably correct please) on the day.

Yeh only at high speed, and yeh seemed to be after about 45mins of driving plenty of heat.Driving back home at 100/110 seemed ok. Spoke to my mechanic tonight he reckons rotors more than likely, and i might get some new pads aswell.

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
