Awesome... Just getting over the jet lag, have a look at the pics on facebook...

It was one of the best holidays Ive ever had...

I havent been on face book in so long. I should log on, then look at your photos.

Did you eat anything weird

I eat everything I could get my hands on... The experience was awesome...

I was worried about food poisoning but never had a problem...

I could not get over the fact I could have a huge lunch and a few beers and it still only cost $6-7...

Oh you ate everything huh hahah. Giggles.

Yeh teh cheap beers and food are pretty much FTW

I loved there was no liquor laws...

70cent ice cold cans of beer everywhere...

locals would come running up to me with a coldie and say "You Buy" and id say to Renee "I cant knock them back cause thats just rude"...

so yeah it was farkin hot with really high humidity, I lost 2 kgs and I ate like a horse and drank like I always do and still lost weight...

it was all the walking, we averaged about 14-18km per day just round markets and shops etc...

I would go again, was a very impressive country... I got to shoot an AK47 too, check my youtube link on facebook... :ninja:

well a 30km cab ride from the airport was $17AUD and that was including a dodgey meter, dodgey cabbie and a $2 tip...

so walking is completelly optional, we caught a cab into town from our hotel in Hanoi (about 5km) the first day and it cost $3... :ninja:

You can hire a 110cc automatic scooter for about $5 per day also if you wanted but parking costs would make it a stupid idea if you wanta stop all the time...

They take advantage of westerners at the drop of a hat, you need to be carefull and always barter even with the cabbies...

However push too hard and you could end up in trouble, I got punched in the markets in Saigon for insulting a store owner but saying "thats a knock off, thats not real"

As he wanted $300 for a fake rolex, after he punched me we came to a $20 agreement and we were mates again... :)

Anyway bed time for me, im stuffed...

slightly random, but when i turn my computer speakers right down (not off, but down to zero), for some reason i can hear an am radio station coming through them....

if i turn them up a little, the station disappears.....

if i turn them off, no sound.

right now i am listening to the news through them, talking about some ban that is coming into force on friday... and then bush going on about the global economy..

any theories for me?

my advice is to make a foil hat

there looking for you mate

Was it the only time you got punched? Seems odd it was only once...

I did get my fingers bent backwards by a hot little 20 year old girl at a t-shirt shop... Long story...

But the short version is they try to get you into their shops as when you standing in front of the shop another shop keeper can come and get you and pull you into their shop. Once your in a shop the other shop keepers leave you alone. So here I was standing out the front of a T-Shirt shop and the shop keepers daughter was sent out to pull me in and cause I refused to come into the store she bend my fingers back while laughing and saying "come in". I snached my hand back and moved on quickly, but yeah she was hot she was the bait to get western men into he shop... :cool:

where did Colin go?

Vietnam and Thailand

Nah he went to Vietnam.

Yeah Vietnam for 2 weeks (The whole country top to bottom) and Bangkok in Thailand for a couple of days...

Oh and I took my camera everywhere, and never spotted one skyline at all...

Didnt even see a Nissan, 95% of cars are Toyotas in Vietnam...

    • 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.
