Hi ppls,

I've rang around the southern tow places, some are silly priced some are well priced, the well priced are unable to tow the car tomorrow afternoon. 3:30 onwards. :(

Does any one know of a car trailer hire mob that are well priced or a flat bed tow mob?

Cheerz.. I rang Caltex, $60 + deposit.

Up north there's Kanga Coachlines 83449646 - $40 + deposit.

I've managed to find a flatbed for tomorrow afternoon for $65. Flagstaff to Moana.

For future reference these are the two mobs that were well priced, pitty Down South Towing wasn't available at the time I needed. :(

Down South Towing - 0409696499 - Quoted $50

Daniel Towing - 0417775262 - Quoted $65

I have only had to call them after I had a s/h twin plate clutch installed, and it gave up when I pulled into work!

Your right though, no need for RAA if you own a Skyline unless its a self inflicted failure!

lol. only time i called the raa is when my clutch pedal box fell apart as i pulled into work. Woodville to TTG for $11 :)

Oh, and the time i put my clublock on, and then realised after shopping i didnt have the clublock key on me :) Needed to call a locksmith out in the pouring rain in a shopping carpark for that stupid episode :P...as Chris said...self inflicted :)

No.. Appears to be exactly the same..

Knock isn't any higher than ~30, I do get a knock around 4000rpm, power then goes flat until ~5000rpm where the lifters pump up and power noses over noticably. :)

One thing I didn't fiddle with last time it was on the dyno was the o2 feedback setting. I was going to try and lean it out a little (~15.2 up from the std 14.7) and see if fuel economy improved.

Since the GTR injectors have gone in cold starts are a pain in the arse, takes a little to long to kick and when it does it basically stalls straight away, warm is perfect. Maybe you can share your cold start enrichment. :P

I remember hearing your R32 doing the same upon a cold start chris... or doesn't it?

The injectors were perfect prior to the flow/clean and obviously perfect after, zero leaks all flow within 1% of each other. I replaced all o-rings and injector/manifold insulators. Zero vacuum leaks. :)

Fuel economy is great though.. Back down to ~10.6L/100km's.

When its up and running again (tomorrow afternoon) I'll have a fiddle with the cold start, I'm thinking it needs a little more fuel.

    • 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. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
