Awesome day, some seriously fast cars out on the track all day long which was awesome to see :D:D

Shame a few left a bit worse for wear :D:(

GRACER blew a power steering belt ripping the crank angle sensor wiring out :D:( got it bodgied up and got home without power sterring which was great to see....

the white R32 GTR that lost the bonnet was disapointing... appeared to be pretty cosmetic but windscreens arent cheap....

B-Man - am i wrong in assuming you were driving the white R33??? i saw the car blowing heaps of smoke but wasnt to sure if you made it back or not??

The man hours that musta gone into that car would be amazing. I don't think their was a single standard part that I could see that hadn't been touched in some way.

Ha ha - No that wasn't me - but I saw that guy. Duncan and I were talking about him - His smoke kept ketting worse and worse and worse until bang.... (That was a GTR)

I was in the Silver R33 GTS-t - Went out first session - did about 4 laps, punted it down the straight, then when I braked/decelarated - massive amounts of white smoke from the exhaust. I think it scared the shit out of the Shane and Ben behind me - he he.

I parked it after that.

Drove home no problems - still makes boost. So I'm pretty sure its a seal in the CHRA. Not a big deal - Just more $$ (which I don't have)

Cheers,

:werd:

that guy was great.

its great to see what is acheivable with our cars with some talent :Oops:

ahh well all in good time :D

Tell me about it. I was coming onto the straight when my mirrors where filled with Jimbos line and then as he passed me I notice it wasnt jimbo in the pilots seat.

Hey Tosh GTR's are not immortal.

Roy Zed was strong but did not come up fastest car. Kinda The fish that got away story. I was only timed in the first session when I was setting up tyre pressures and suspension getting used to new set up etc Also was hitting rev limiter which we had a bit low only 7,000rpm. Second timed session when I was rounding everyone up, although Geoff from SSS Automotive was not there, only came back very late when he left to change rear diff so? One of my Zed fans with a zed stop watch timed me at 48 something secs. Skylines ruled again though in numbers and times. Lots of rubber on the track which got distracting and exciting when getting up close to car in front prior to over taking with rubber hitting your screen.

Big role up had 50 cars.

Times will be on our site soon.

Its also up on the racetime website

Good to such a good turn out after last year, damn shame about the skylines that died though :)

John, good to see it wasn't you that forgot the bonnet pins this time :cheers:

Yojimbo here (SAU wont let me log out and back in as myself), I just wanted some photos of the silvia.

I dropped around to Hills Motorsport after lunch on saturday after a call from Mark and Siko for an epic mission to get this car finished, and didnt get home till 8pm sunday !!!

When I left home i never imagined I wouldnt return before the track session and so I left my camera behind :)

Totally rooted by the time we got back but well worth it. 30 hours from nothing to rb26, including all 'cooler plumbing and incorporating factory loom and modified factory computer, fuel system, tuning....

As well as a stop to RESPRAY THE FRONT HALF OF THE CAR !!!!

Need Pics - we were too busy to take any !!

ALSO, the silvia was only running about 14psi, the least boost that the wastegate would allow. made well in exces of 280 rwkw - power could not be measured even with 4 100 kg guys in the boot ! 280 was just the highest figure recorded.

Damn

I thought the clutch was slipping in 3rd and 4th untill I seen under the bonnet of that thing

    • 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.
