Ascot or Hamilton would be my pick.

K/P is nice as well. Depends if you want a house or unit. K/P would be easier to jump on a city cat to go out in the city, Ascot or Hamilton are bit like the burbs, might have to walk a few blocks to find a bus stop thou

Cool. I'm thinking apt. Don't want to deal with a house. I'll add those areas to my list of websearch!

Next is, driver's licenses and insurance. I have an International License. I am over 30, been licensed for 15 years, no points in last 10. I can print out a record to prove it. Will I need to go thru the whole p-plate thing? And for insurance on a r34 GTR it was about $1300 comp $400 excess from JustCar. This was of course using my driving record here, there I have zero record.

no idea, check the license section on the queensland transport site.

You wont have to go through the p plate thing has you currently hold a license. You would have to do the driving test i would assume? it'll be on the site.

not sure if this is the right topic or not, but here goes. Moving to Brissy in Dec. Wondering about areas to look for flats. I was told Kangaroo Point is good, but this is from an older bloke (50's). I am not looking for the high school hang out or anything, just a nice area, nice flat, lower crime level, and some sort of night life. Oh and it needs a lockup for the future GTR.

I have a million other questions, but will start with this..

Cheers,

Ryan

the areas to recommend would depend on what you are doing in brisbane. you here to study, work, bludge? where abouts are you studying, working, bludging etc etc?

I've had a couple of sales fall through, my sister in law works at an auction place so the Cressidaghini is awaiting bids... It's frustrating, it doesn't need much work to make it a nice cruiser again, but it just seems that hardly anyone is buying anything at the moment. I had someone a few weeks back show some interest, but they were disappointed my $1k Cressida didn't come with rego and wasn't in showroom condition. He even asked if I'd provide a written guarantee that nothing would break if he bought the car, then looked offended when I said no and laughed at him.

The Mazda is up for sale too though, bought a new daily and don't have the space for (and can't justify the cost of) having three cars. Well, four if you count the yet-to-be-sold Cressida. Oh, plus the bike. I need more space!

BUY MY CARS!!!! :P

Sif try to compete with the Cressida!!!

Besides, I've heard you fart in yours, and that you eat a lot of curry, so it's not the harmless kind of in-car farting either. I've also heard that you eat babies. So there.

    • 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.  
    • 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.
