Anyone know how I can get in contact with the SAU Secretary? Need to get a confirmation of my membership for a track day tomorrow but it's hard getting an e-mail replied to...

 
 

In response to the email you sent last night, yes you are a member. Secretary is sending you info tonight.

Hope your track day is a great one :)

so i buy one of these USB to DB25 parallel cables: https://www.jaycar.com.au/usb-to-parallel-bi-directional-cable/p/XC4847

plug it in, under Device Manager its listed in USB controllers: USB Printer Support. The software I'm using needs it to be a LPT port.

The internet has some solutions for people using old software with new printers, so ive followed them:

Create new printer. Assign it to USB Printer Support. Right click on it and go to Printer Properties. Select LPT1 port. I try to send file with software, software says did not send.

I tried enabling Print Pooling and selecting both LPT1 and the USB Printer Support port. Still does not send.

Then tried creating another printer and assigning it to Virtual USB port001, in printer properties, select LPT1 port. Files does not send.

Any IT folk have any suggestions? the software just sends a basic text file, its not going to a printer.

Oh chatted to a EPA guy on the weekend.

asked about the car testing currently.

 

Didn't answer the question, but did say he uses the building where they test as his car park everyday.....

Why the secrecy does he believe he is in a role that is top secret like Area 51?

 

Is he implying that the testing is active hence there everyday? Or that his team has taken over the area and they no longer test? :/

If he was implying it was business as usual then there wouldn't need to be so coy... sounds like the intake of cars is slowing down?

Someone drive past the moorabbin workshop & have a look at the number of cars outside?

yeah but you would have had to buy 1,600,000 of them to be worthwhile anyway

Yeah really small (3 of us total) and basically lost a couple of big ish customers over Christmas / New Year due to them down sizing or cutting cost, selling business etc. 

So back on the job hunt, got a few good leads already which is awesome.

Paid out but not much (only here for about a year)

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.

      This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).

      I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.

      You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?

      Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
