Yeah, I was reading this earlier.

They expect to keep manufacturing open until 2016, then after just R&D and sale of foreign models only.

The Oz car manufacturing just cannot complete with other manufacturers as the costs of operations i.e. high wages, high costs of materials etc... is just too much.

Unless GM injects another lot of $b of $ into Holden they will also be next on the chopping block.

The only upside to this is that competition between other manufacturers will be even more fierce (in order to capture more market share) and naturally costs of motor vehicle prices will drop....and about bloody time too as 35K for a new Holden POS is just ridiculous.

that is biggest issue.....in order for the Oz car industry to remain competitive the Govt has imposed huge import fees and duties.

the only problem is that I cannot foresee the Govt doing anything about it nor reducing those import taxes and duties.

Sad loss for those workers as you said it could of been rectified a while ago.

GT40 !ROCKS! (but the old 1960's version :turned: )

Really not feeling it today home would be more acceptable lol

I'm like that every day mate....but that is just life and something has to pay for the bills

Side note 1,000th post....should celebrate :cheers:

I suppose, I want expensive things so I have to work farkitol lol.

Also congrats on your 1000th post, I remember my 1000th post.... Wait no I dont

yeah I want to have expensive things as well, but I think us humans are naturally greedy. Give me, give me, give me.

I just want to win big time on Lotto / Powerball now that would be something to celebrate

Just looked mine up, I have 2700 posts in the old qld whore thread, lmao

That's nuts mate - you really need to find a lifetime partner :turned::P

Pfft f**k that they just take your money and then leave you all te while trying to black mail you into selling your skyline lol

I've solved it! need to find rich old girl, marry her, wait for her to go to heaven and inherit her wealth then I'm rich.....only problem is I'm already married.....mmmmmm.....Nick do it for me

I don't think she looks anything like Taylor, but anyway. Also if guys did that to her I would tear their fn heads off :angry:

Not every girl in the universe is going to try and nick your skyline ha ha, I most certainly wouldn't. ;)

    • @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.
