How about.....

I think that one of the things that an online forum like this is great for is sharing of knowledge of our otherwise "unsupported vehicles".

How about a seperate section just for "Fixes". Basically one single post for each thread that describes both the problem AND the solution. Could be arranged with multiple sections like R32, R33, R34 then GTS , GTR etc etc... You only post in here once you have a fix that has been confirmrd working. Still use the normal sections until then.

I know that I have had a few "weird" problems that others could use to save many hours worth of diagnosing time.

Now I know that this info is already on the forum in various formats but no simple problem - solution exists. Sometimes you can read pages of posts and never even find out if any solutions worked!!

This could be VERY valuable and add immensly to the appeal of the site for new users. Oh and Skylinesdownunder DON'T have anything like this so we could be the first to start it!

like a Q and A section, where the thread is moderated to only sensible responses.

Sorta like a knowledge base with everyone contributing to it. I wanted to do something like that on another website, but if incorporated into the forums would be much easier.

You could go:

R32 -> GTSt -> Engine -> What do I do if I get smoke from my engine

or R34 -> GTR -> Body -> How do I fit an aftermarket front spoiler on?

Sumfin like that, with each -> representing a level

Charlie - yeah i guess so.

I'd be keen to set up a "technical archive" section, split into models. When people get a fix for something on their car we can start a new thread in there titled "clunk from under the car" and in there you could have Q. i have a clunk and A. its a broken driveshaft (or similar) and only a few people could post to it and the threads are locked to allow read only..

What do we think, is that what you mean?

i was thinking a list of questions that is like in a tree structure, like in a knowledge base.

Not part of the forum but similar... if i get some time i'll look for sum vbulletin plugins that do that.

      @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.

      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.
