Yer should be able to make it to the cruise looking forward to it.. are us northerners doing a premeet?

We have to be there at something stupid like 9am. If you want to meet me somewhere earlier than that bring coffee or GTFO :P

In other words, we can have all the SAU boys meet somewhere and then cruise?

Good people the night is young and the scotch is flowing.... I have tommorow off, hell to the hiz ow

Dude it's like you want me to dislike you, ls1 in a skyline and a day off on a Friday,. FRIENDSHIP OVER!

Moaning all

Morning Cap.

Another wet one! Was going to paint but guess gonna have to do something else.

Rain rain go away come back another day (in a Month's time)

Mornin', but yer it's wrecked my plans for willowbank drag skids this weekend :( .... The Abomination will have to wait another week before its virgin pass.

AFTER THOUGHT: and next weekend I'm "pit crewing" for my mates burnout car at the Gatton sprints (if the ever unorganised twit can get his cam in and tuned in time :/), so it won't be next weekend either :rant:

Lol. When you want things done there are always stumbling blocks.

Predominantly, these hick ups are caused by people we rely on to get things done. In other words life would be bliss if people actually gave two sh!ts!

Yep like if I knew my Nissan speedo couldn't recognise the Holden input signal would of been nice to know... Or

(Warning rant incoming)

if the parts for my extractors didn't take 3 weeks, or my leads weren't farked, or knew I couldn't use the fly by wire throttle body, or the tail shaft didn't take 3 weeks, or that no one has done a wiring loom diagram up for a 33/LS1, or if they ordered me the right ratchet shifter, or my original loom wasnt completely wrecked, or i knew i had to plate under the shifter and have heater hoses hooked up for the mod plate and In general if everyone that I rely on wasnt a slow lazy fark that'd be great!!! :rant:....

You should of just dropped in a rb25/30 and none of these things would of been a problem, well all except your butt plug your using as a shifter :P haha

    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
    • Could be correct. Meter might be that far out. Compare against a known 5 ohm 1% resistor.
    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap.  (edit: I went out and did it right now, the line I had chosen did appear to have no vacuum on it, it used to go to the front of the intake, I've now completely blocked that one off at the bracket that holds several vacuum lines by the firewall.  I T'd into the vacuum line that goes from that bracket to the vacuum pump at the front of the car, but no change in the MAP readings).  Using the new vacuum line that has obvious vacuum on the hose, im still only getting readings between -6.0 and -5.2.  I'm wondering why the ECU was detecting -5.3 when nothing was connected to the MAP nipple and ECU MAP selected as the source. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
