Well thers one particular guy at work who constantly calls me a hoon.. And when I showed him a pic of my car hes goes "Shit.. that exhaust would be loud" I'm like... err no.

He kept going on about it (he had the $16000 machine) so I said "For **** sake, pick up taht stupid machine, come with me and we will test it" he goes "ok"

So off we went (undercover carpark I might add so it was resinating off the walls) and he tested it.

Then he goes "Ok.. maybe its not loud" I said "I'll accept your apology shall I?"

Oh.. Hi Paul... (i think his name is :D)

I just got a phone call from one of the places I sent my resume too.. I got a job interview tomorrow :( Hooray.. A diesel supplies place. I should fit in really well :) Wear my stubbies and double pluggers. SHe'll be right mate!

Uhm. I work near the personnel area. They just whinge and bitch about each other all the time. I just sit and listen and laugh.

In my area, I'm the lowest ranking (AO2) I get along really easily with them. They are all AO6 - SO1, so they are all mature and don't bitch. We swear, muck around, joke. It's awesome. I love them but unfortunately I"m only temporary so I *NEED* a permanent job to keep my car.

I don't give a shit about other bills. Just my car :D

Whats a car dealership like?

I don't really want to go into a real estate type area.

I really want to work somewhere with cars. Either a car dealership :D or a mechanics or distributor. Anything to do with cars.

But, because I've only had public service experience where I dont know much of the dealings of a private firm, no one wants to give me a job.

Are you having major reforms in your public service jobs over there like we are here??

i used to do fleet management for the govt! now that was a Sweet job :D love fleet management! but with the merger the position no longer existed and i got shifted to a different one that im not enjoying!

Haha.. I'm only employed till the 30th of June too... Our area isn't included atm. Only personnel and finance. It sucks hey. But for someone in my position (and i suppose yours too) I look at it like for 1) they still have a job. 2) they have more opportunities and 3) its a great way to meet more people and network. I really don't see why people are going home crying everynight and going out on stress leave. Is this the situation over there too??

I just want a job. If they want to leave and get out, I"ll have there job.

Maybe we should start up some type of Female Skyline pimp business :D

Michael, I have a job and 2 and a half years experience to go with it and I still can't get a job. And I work for the government (particularly with all the security requirements).

I said to my boss at the moment at work "****en hell, I've got a job and experience and I still can't get a friggen job"

Most of the time I think it's because I am employed atm and the company can't be bothered going through the whole waiting period for me to leave my current employment and start there.

yours gets scanned erin? hmmm i know we've got systems in place we're allowed the net and email for ltd personal useage but with some of the stuff the IT guys send me - they would be fired if it got scanned!

Yeah people stress here too - hehe one girl gets blood noses - ok not funny for her but its such a wussy thing ot have!

    • @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.
