Was a great day, I know a few of the drivers and managed to get some pics of my son driving the DR30. ;)

I saw a couple of GTR's including 3 R35's, but no Sau stickers. Who else made the trek down?

Awesome photos.. especially the DR30.. didn't realise that was floating around still :(.

It was locked away since its last race, Hadn't been started in nearly 20 years apparently.

Still had a lot of the original race parts like asbestos brake pads, you cant get closer to original race spec than that.

Thats correct. at least now we can see that the GIO car is the hands of a very good steerer. though im not sure what happend in the last race on sunday. he bogged down off the line, then miss shifted going from 1st to 2nd, then i think he had an off around the southern loop because when he came back into view around the back toward the hairpin, he was dead last!

it was awesome watching Terry carve his way through the field in the last race! he started at the back because he had a fuel pick up issue in the morning race (of which he was dominating!). in just six laps he managed to get from the back, up to 4th place (from memory).

In the Friday qualifying session Terry clocked a 1:44.9819! thats one for track guys who are going to phillip island in april for the wrx club day to think about... :blink:

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yeah, you want the IACV to be running at around 30 "units", variously called "steps" or "duty cycle" depending on the person. That gives it room to go lower if need be and higher ditto.

      Ah right that makes sense.

      The RPM is just a target, the ECU will adjust things to try and hit that target but it's by no means guaranteed. If the IACV duty cycle is 0 or something like that and it's actually closing up fully then the idle is as low as it can physically go without reducing ignition timing. The problem can be something like the cold start valve in the IACV not closing fully, worn throttle shaft seals, torn rubber diaphragm in the brake booster allowing unmetered air, etc.

      Apexi, though I'm not comfortable with setting the idle, knowing me I'll f**k it up lol.

      What ECU is on your car @silviaz? You can just change the idle target table yourself and the IACV duty cycle. Noting that if you play around with the screw you'll also need to revisit the idle base duty table as you will end up offsetting the lot. Another reason why DBW is superior, there's less mucking about.
