sorry guys, but im going to have to bail tonight. i've been ill the past 2 days, so i wont be able to make it. have fun....
is it the giving up smoking sickness?? :wave: hope it doesnt last as long as mine :devil:

well i have no idea where this carpark is so i might just try for a normal spot..

or I dont suppose anyone's going down the parkway from tuggers who I can follow??

slither I think it would be fine since there's a few no shows.

Hey Shell,

Me and Cassi will be going down the parkway so we can meet you say at Kambah servo if you want and you can follow? Ill PM you my number and you can call if you want and we will suss something out.

And leigh.... well im already drunk but not bailing... as long as Zeffs has alcohol... mmmm alcohol

Slither: There was a couple of extra seats booked in case from memory, and a few people dropped out so I dont think it will be a problem... and if you do come say hi to the giant, keen to meet the guy who owns the red skyline parked in the driveway just around the corner from my house.

Mick and I are still coming, and for those of you that know James & Jeremy who aren't on the forum, they're coming along too (at the moment :devil:)

EDIT - Hold on, Jai Jai if you organised it and you can't go, then you should probably tell someone what name the booking is under.....

In the spirit of Melbourne Cup;E and me are last minute scratchings-something rather nasty has come up(no 'rash again?' jokes,you lot!). Must be dealt with,or the resulting headaches if we don't stop this problem in it's tracks will be dire(as is,said problem just added an extra year to my GT-R's rebuild,if that tells you how serious it's gotten!)

Was good to see and meet everyone was a good night all round :laugh:, shaun all i can say is i love your car so much more lol

Also was good to see you Shell since you've been hiding!! Thanks again for the present :P

Edited by Style32

Was great to get to spend an evening with such a great group of people.

Thanks guys.

P.S. I have not keeled over from the steak yet so food poisoning will hopefully not be an issue.

It was the worst steak I've ever eaten and will not be going back though.

Yeah was good to meet some SAU people. pizza was goood too :(

it was also gool to see 13 skylines in a row. When I got back to the cars thare was a dude taking photos.

I still think we need name tags. you might feel ghey but at least you get to remember who you are talking to.

Was a good night and to meet some of the newer ppl on here and some of those that have been in hiding, shell thanks for helping out with the bill, I still dont know how i ended up with the job of taking everyones money....

Cass and Shell (Shell cause she stole everyones money from dinner lol) let me know if you want some help with organising the Christmas Cruise.

Leigh what happen to you one minute you were there then poof gone?

    • 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.
