Drift woes

[pimpmyvt]

Hey guys. i got a problem... whilse drifting my vn cuts out.. power is still on.. car wont start... im thinking c.a.s. cos my auto meter gauge cuts out occasionly(for a split second) altho car still runs(maby it trips out if the signal drops for a fraction).. or could it even be the dfi???.. my tacho gets signal off the spare comeing off the loom in the bay...

thx for hearing me out hope ya can help

Check all associated power posts/wires,is the problem only happening with spirited driving?

sorry to sound stupid, but its not just the fuel moving to the other side of the tank is it? when mine is under half a tank (which a full tank for me is only 40 litres :S ) it will die coming out of hard corners and then surely enough once im going straight again itll come roaring back to life..

I am not even sure if this is the problem its just what i am assuming is wrong with mine.

Swaybars mate you need bigger swaybars and stiffer springs keep that drift nice and flat and avoid any tank slapping itll fix all your problems

Yeah, What pubber said, or, if your serious, try baffles in the tank?

its a factory setting holden put in the ECU to stop people hooning, try getting a cop chip they dont have the setting and ur car will gain 20kw

Or possibly to stop people panicking and accelerating while they're sliding towards that tree. Not sure how valid that is, there's no such thing as cop chips but possibly PM delcowizzid on here and see if there is such a thing that needs disabling, whether there is or not get a tune from him you're car will pull a lot harder.

Cop chip

[VKCOMMO]

or even 2 cop chips, will give an extra 40kw at the meats.

Just put them side by side and cover what ever you can see in solder :P

He is taking the piss,well I hope so......

Theres no such thing as a cop chip,Ive compared the ECU files from the police ECUs to a normal ECU chip, and the settings,ignition timing etc are all the same. Also theres no settings in these chips to stop people hooning or whatever.About the only thing thats close to that is the rev limiter.The only difference is the police ECU's have RFI shielded wiring and ECU etc to help stop the ECU and engine management systems interfering with the police radios.

Simple solution, unless your going to a track dont drift. Idiots like that are the reason ive lost 4 friends in the last 2 years to car accdidents, thanks.

I think youll find that thanks to electronic fuel pumps and the fuel is taken from near enough to the bottom of the tank, that is is no issue unless you're seriously out of fuel.

yes i do agree, at the moment im in testing my drifting is done on a closed road(my mates drive way lol{we lock gates etc to make sure no one is comeing}) now as for baffleing i dont think thats the problem otherwise id be hearing air pass the pressure reg an back into the tank, i have also replaced the fule pump last week, with some more testing i have found there is some random missfireing(plugs and leads are good)
the car only cuts out under high weight shift(on wet day testing clucth dumping it into a drift is fine)

i hope you trolling as i have never herd of the factory setting.. and well all know about the "cop chips" the only ones ive herd of that in some early pursuit cars they had stage one shift kits(soo thats were the soo called bt1 pwr franatics are getting all these idears)

[psshhhht]

sounds like a loose connection that's getting messed with under the strain of drift to me mate
