i meant dirty broad minded person,bad afternoon,do tell.

I know you meant dirty slart ;) It's the forum profanity filter.

Long story short, installed an oil cooler, thread out of the filter stud under pressure and promptly emptied 5L of 10 tenths in my engine bay in the middle of the main road on a blind corner. Had to tow the bitch backwards back to the old mans and I managed to fix the plate with a different filter and put some shit oil in for now.

so in other words the SS came all over the road after being f**ked sideways

Hopefully she's recovered and ready for another poun.....round tomorrow morning?

She always gets f**ked, she must have been horny as shie because I barley touched her fun pedal before she squirted everywhere.

I must have a chat with Connie to see if this is true

So i havnt paid via bank deposit, ive been away for work. can i please jsut pay cash tomorrow? i hadnt worred as previosuly ive paid on the day.

Sorry if this is an issue.

Dan

Cash on the day is fine. Would be preferred if you brought the exact change.

Hope to see you out there!

sure was,pity the time went by soooo fast,was just getting into it,chopped a few evos as well so alls well in the world again,lol,bring on the north cruise now,that should be good also.Good to see a large turnout,first time that there were more 32s than 33s,finally you guys got your 32s out of the sheds,thought i was going to be the only one again.Whats better than chopping an evo?.Chopping more evos,lol,but seriously great to see all the evo guys turning up and supporting the sau club,let us know when we can run with you guys because chopping is quite addictive,lol,go the SKYLINES. :action-smiley-069: chop,chop,chop

Lol - it was great fun.

Thanks to the execs for making this happen

It was good to have such a great turn out and let's hope we can repeat that next time too.

Big thanx to the evo guys as well, it sure works well to have you there as well

Looking forward to more happy laps

Did anyone have any photos btw - I couldn't take any for once lol

hopefully more sau guys turn up next time,not that the evo guys arent good to run with but we need to represent better,no good having a skyline if you dont drive it,i like the attitude of the evo boys,they will turn up no matter what,would like to run with them at one of there events in the future,always goood to see how the otherside operates.i only wish i could get the car out more often,but am trying to do as many events this year as i can,so i hope you guys dont get sick of seeing me everywhere,lol.

yeah good event guys, alot of fun... few minor hiccups, (my immobiliser crapped itself when enterign the track :( haha) and the intercooler hose, but alls well that ends well.

Seriously though, lakeside for next happy laps?? way better then QR imo

thanks for organising the event guys, and thanks to the evos for coming out and having a run, and a special thankyou to Greg for letitng me borrow your tools; i wouldsta been up the proverbial otherwise.

It was my first run on lakeside but i have to say i really enjoyed the run,would be better if we could get to run longer,thats my only complaint,i like how they dont enforce the speed rule tooo much,i was going a little over the speed limit,all ill say is that the standard speedo runs out pretty fast around lakeside.Like to thanks mike and the team for organising another great morning,and all the guys from sau and evo club for turning up,looking forward to the next one.Are there any other tracks around that we can run on or is it just qr and lakeside?

It's pretty much QR and lakeside for happy laps. Morgan Park raceway runs under the CAMS banner and CAMS will never allow happy laps and Norwell driving centre last i heard was having more issues with noise complaints than Lakeside, i'm not even sure if it's still open.

I might even drive next happy laps... Maybe... Will see ?

Zane is more than welcome to jump in my car again :nyaanyaa:

This unfortunately. We are lucky happy laps are still running as all it will take is a few crashed or a serious injury and the insurance will bo too much for QR to justify without dramatically raising the prices.

    • 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.
