That time of year again fellas.

MAS is the end of April so we gotta get onot it now. And get ready. No last minute stuff this time. Too much hassle for everyone.

So with that said.

Here are the details.

If you dont come to regular meetings, you wont be in... save for special circumstances (ie. your from geelong)

Date: Tuesday; 22/03/2005

Venue: Bell's Hotel, 157 Moray St, South Melbourne (Cnr Moray St & Coventry St Melways Ref - 57, G1)

Time: 8pm

What do i need?

Ideas mainly.

People that can offer things to come forward

I'm taking a list of those interested.

And going over the basic aim we want to achieve this year. Also assigning early tasks and making a few important decisions about the display etc :(

***UPDATE*** 16/03

1) Venue now decided

2) Only SAU-Vic members will be able to participate

This was decided as we are a club entry, and SAU-Vic will be paying for things, and they are member only benefits.

3) Anyone that was at the GrandPrix AutoSalon show is entitiled to a $60 entry fee

If you did not attend not, the fee will be less than $100

4) In relation to cars, easy. Most people will be in unless we get too many and have too crop.

So everyone should rock along.

5) Have a think now of all your ideas. I've got a few from last night. But Tues will play a big part in deciding our direction.

6) All Entrants must be paid by April 1 to qualify for cheaper entry. If not late entries will be $20 higher

well you know i'm in!! Mad rush to get the car ready in time...hehe

I'll come to the meeting (22/3) and will try to make it to as many others as i can, but if i cant make it and have other ideas/suggestions, i'll just post em here or let you know ash.

hopefully with enough interest and orginisation, should be a great club stand, would be nice to see Sau VIC win one of the "club awards" an bring a trophy home :rofl:

:)

hay ash what about the slide show of joels that was great and we could have it playing on a tv or something showing off the club a bit? Also the one of snowman ride was awsome and should mayb have a feature on the stand next to his car it would just look great

Just finished filling my SAU VIC membership form, now I'm ready to contribute!

I'd be interested in coming along and helping out , any ideas from last nights meeting on a location for March 22? I like the idea about the projector, we could also hire a good plasma screen for cheap and play a Skyline DVD. Big pics and big screens would look sweet!

How many SAU VIC cars will be involved? I heard you guys had a great stand last year!

B :Bang:

I can personally vouch for RON's R32 GTR, it is by far the cleanest and most immaculate 32 I have seen to date. Absolutely awesome!

Unfortunately i don't think my car will be painted and upgraded :cheers: in time, so i will give this a miss. Will help out though.

This year the load will be taken off the usual couple of people and shared amounst all entrants, so if ya want to enter be prepared to help out :rofl:.

i can put my car in but youve already seen it and its boring :cheers:

will come to the meeting for some beer and a chat but no point having my car

more cars the better.

we are going for a BIG stand.

we want as many members as we can possibly get

its a bit of work involved and youll need someone who can print like a4 prints out on good quality printout but perhaps for each car have some info about it and things like model, special features, owners comments etc. not everyone know what a series 3 vspec is and what the r32 gts-r had different to the gts etc. even just simple things like engine and mods i wouldnt know what half the mods are in most cars. i think melbccr had a similar thing like tihs for each car they had a blurb about it on a poster card standing in front of the car. if you want all the members cars in or the vast majority thats a lot of space. will cabin be ok if we want to enter so many cars?

Im hoping to have my car ready by then.

Who do i see/PM to become an official SAU member?

ADZMAX is it u? well u have pm :)

Also NISMOID, whats the absolute final cut off date for entry forms/money?

Im gonna be scrapping for time.

    • 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.
