no sorry Saru, not from me....typical internet all talk and no turn up.  The axle is still sitting in the middle of the floor borken.

But please keep us posted about other events, I'd love to give something down there a shot later in the year.

All the best with the numbers :D

The Zed is out too :Oops:

Mr Nissan has still not figured out the clunking in the steering (suspect broken bushes but they reckon they know best).

If this Tar ones like my last one at Wyong,,,Then your all gonna have a very boring weekend. Tar is mad fun.

I would have thought Shelly and the Boys would have been doing this one.

Neil.

yeah the canberrians are a bit soft. I'm just a bit short of a car atm.

1. broken axle

1. broken engine

1. wierd creaking noise that the genuises at nissan can't work out. FARK.

Anyway, have fun down there....it will be tops.....you are *encouraged* to hoon around :D

I'm not soft, i just dont have a car, sau membership or licence

So what are you trying to tell us??? apart from being a lazy bastard. A motorkhana would be great for you,,,. Get Mom or Dad to pay for club membership,,,then basic Cams licence and use their car. Easy. Bit late now but maybe next time.

Neil.

Now how do I find the complex???.

How familar are you with Canberra?

Coming in down the Federal Highway, turn right onto Sutton Rd which is just (about 200m - maybe less) after Macs Reef Rd. Sutton Rd and Macs Reef Rd are just before you enter the ACT. Continue down Sutton Rd. The Driver Training Centre is quite visible from the road and is on the right if you're coming south down Sutton Rd. If you reach the intersection with Piallago Rd (spelling?) you've gone about a km too far. I think the Driver Training Centre is about 10-15kms from the turnoff. You can't miss it, as long as you're on Sutton Rd.

If you have a map (I like the free one from the NRMA) you'll be fine.

R31_silo2: If you can get a car for the day that someone is happy for you to semi-abuse, we can organise a day-licence for you that does not require car club membership. It will be $10 on top of the $40 entrance fee. You need to tell me before 5pm on Monday 17th Jan or else I can't guarantee you a spot.

Hi Saru, If my ride was in shape to do this event I'd be there.

R Spectators welcome ? If so I'll come down for a looksee and that way I'll know the drill for the next one.

I note since you posted there's been little response from the local SAU, me included.

Soz mate.

Hey Angus.....if you really are interested you can get a cams license for motorkhanas from 14....you just need someone to lend you a car. even better as a "junior" most events will let you run with a passeneger/instructor to help out.

best way to learn to handle a car :P

now i wait for the offers of a car..... anyone :P

Come in your parents car :D Seriously, if you're a learner, I'd be very surprised if you came close to hurting it.

Don't be afraid about coming in an "embarassing" car, either (this goes for anyone!) - so far we have Mazda 808s, 1970s Chyrsler/Mitsubishi Lancers and a 1986 323 (among other things). There are no "embarassing" cars if your actually competing!

I would usually use my beat up 1983 Pulsar but seing as how I don't have a tow car yet I'll be using the Skyline. The diffs now back in slippery mode so expect a lot of sideways action.

Neil.

what do you actually do in a motorkhana anyway HAHA

Cams have set courses that you have to follow,,,basically its a series of witches hats or flags that you have to negotitate in the correct order. When I have used the skyline in other motorkhanas I have only ever used 1st gear,the handbrake and reverse.

Duncan's right, we're soft....well I am anyway heh :rofl:

Might come and spectate though, and take some action shots!!

....you are *encouraged* to hoon around :rofl:

Our Vice-Pres has said I am Encouraged to hoon around,,,after last weekends effort thats exactly what I'm gonna do.

Shell bring the camera I think someone should have on record a very sideways SAU Skyline.

Neil.

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @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.
