Yeah, was thinking the same thing about QR, but I got an absolute bargain today on semi-slicks for my stock rims. Brand new tyres, fitted for $108 per tyre!! They are probably shite, but at least I won't be flogging my good tyres anymore.

hmm so we know who to blame if its as bumpy as the old one!!

i thought that road was the deacon deviation or something?

we only design it, we've got nothing to do with how it is laid etc...that will be done by the contractor

home alone tonite ;)

ahh ok... still as the closest person to that bridge i for one will hold you personally responsible!!

home alone aswell... what to do what to do.. i cant drive anywhere unnecessary as my brakes are worn and making noises. Last time it happened in the cressida the pad fell out and the piston was rubbing against the rotor after a while

OK, to answer everyone, the Deagon Deviation is the part of the Gateway that goes to Redcliffe via the Houghton Highway over the Hornibrook Bridge.

The tyres were for my stock rims so they are 16"s

I also got two new tyres for my 18's as the Silverstone shite ones were down to the canvas after some "spirited" driving after Dinner on Wednesday night. They are Nexens and were $148 each and before anyone says they are cheap crap, I know but they were CHEAP and a few guys I trust are running them as well and have said they are pretty good. I will see, and if they aren't good enough, I will get two more Firestone Firehawks which I reckon are fantastic tyres.

Does anyone know where I can get prices on Bride seats, the GIAS recliner is the one I'm looking at as it will lower my seating position and allow me to wear my helmet at track days without banging my head on the roof and sitting awkwardly.

i've got nexens on the back of my car (265/35 18's - 220ea) and yes they really aren't a bad tyre once you get over the brand snobbery. Ok so they're no advans but for the price they're not bad..

no idea on the seat question dave.. i have a similar problem, last trackday i had to recline the seat back fully sik bro croozin spec so i had room

Evening Mike!!!!!! How is Jaime and the sprog??? Still bigger than his old man???

Yup, bubs is now 7960grams so he could take any of you tough guys on. If he could be bothered getting up and walking that is.

Oh, by the way, the new plates arrived on Wednesday and they are just as bad, if not worse than the first lot!! I rang Mud and we will wait until he gets his to do something about them.

PPQ are teh suxor!!!

I'm off to play AA for a couple of hours. Working all weekend!!

See you all at dinner next week!! I need opinions on the destination though as I have made a fairly risque suggestion......

whats this AA u speak of dave?

Dave, this post is for you. Found this whilst checking out nissansilva.com

http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/index.p...howtopic=189649

Half way down are the Bride GIAS seats, not cheap at $1800 for red or $1850 for black. oh and then u need a rail, which is $240

Shit!! That is expencive!! Might have to try and find a barge-ass seat that is way cheaper!!

AA is Americas Army. Free to download but a BIG download and then you play online. Not bad for a game made by the US Army to recruit soldiers!!

    • @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.
