I'm sure most of you have driven paradise st of late.... Wht a joke the upgraded road there is already started to fall apart ...... All the wet couldn't be doing it good but surely it has to have something to do with the quality of work carried out as well ?? Then what would I know I'm a boilermaker by trade lol

Mackay Regional Council have a tendency to do roadwork's in the wet season... dumb f**ks instead on hooking in on the winter months and getting it done properly. They need to asphalt everything once instead on shitty bitumen repairs 10 times over.

yeah they love doing half-arsed roadworks then scratch their head when the wet season comes wondering why the road doesn't hold together for longer than a week without giant crater-like potholes appearing.. always happened in Mackay lol. Amazing how different the roads are in Townsville compared to here..

Yeah cheers mate ..... Went and got a wheel balance done haha what a drama that turned out to be as it had a lock nut on each rim which I couldn't find the key nut for so me assuming that any wheel and tyre joint would have a grip socket to remove them went down to only find out they didn't and were not willing to remove them with a ordinary socket which I have done tons of time .... So back home I go and 10 minutes later the lock nuts are off haha should have done it myself first time around ! Anyways turns out each wheel was out between 10 - 30 grams lol feels heaps better now !

kool kool. well ill send ya a msg when im heading home and ill chuck em in the back of the ute and head round. ill bring rotors and rear calipers if you want. front sitting on there so they dont leak out.

    • 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. 
    • 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).
