Yeah Rob might give you a ring this arvo if i get a chance

I remember someone loosing a plugger last Easter, haha. ;)

It wasn't an organized cruise. I was out with Fritz and the biker boys. The harbour just started to get packed all of a sudden... Not as big as it used to be but there was still 40 odd cars there.

I've just realised there is the Touch up Guys right near my house... might go over and have a chat. Original owner of my V looked as though he attacked the rear Nissan badge with a screwdriver to get it off and left a very deep and large scratch on the back and i want it gone.

yeah man, you have to be very cautious where you take your car here. I've been burnt by 90% of the places I have taken my car to - Tuning shops, paint and panel, and engine builders.

There really isn't any better piece of mind than doing it yourself to be honest.

This is the main reason that I started tuning my car myself - because no one I asked or took it to had a clue. This was nearly 10 years ago.

Now I get called very often for tunes lol.

have you talked to Nur33 about his 350z turbo kit yet? lol

Good to know man, only problem with that is i've only just got into the mechanical side of cars so it's a massive learning curve. I've called 4 different places now just to get a bolt replaced in my front rear castor bar and aparently no one can do it. Such a joke.

Nah what happened to it?

Chris Pace in Furdsen Street Glenella does great work with panel and paint work. Got some work done on the 34 in there a while ago couldn't be happier.

+1

he did my old car and did a great job of it

Cheers, will take it in to him some time this week

    • 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. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
