bugger i missed it. sucks when you dont have your own tv lol i got stuck watching crime shows...dislike much?

yeah too many crime shows, csi, ncis, criminal minds, without a trace, law and order, we need more automotive shows i say lol instead they are all on one day on sundays usually. which sux. spread them out over the week.

has anybody seen the new ad for top gear australia on tv?

anyway here it is, its freakin funny lol

that's a great add. unfortunately it'll probably be better than the australian version of the tv show whenever it comes out.

F'ing 4wd's,

Driving up the highway on wednesday, right hand lane behind a 4X4 (one of the big ass F'ers) and some black thing hits bonnet and then my windscreen. lucky I was wearing my brown jocks. at first I thought it was a stupid crow or something, didnt think much of it. got home later that day. walked around the front of my car and there was a huge black streak stright up the middle of my bonnet (white car, black streak = stands out like dogs balls) gave it a rub and it smudged a little, which I was thankful for, I then followed the streak all the way down to the front of my bonnet and found the lip of it was bent in. only slightly, but still bent. I then figured out what hit my car, some big ass piece of tyre, Most likely from a truck who drive on their tyres until they explode (litterly, becasue they have so many, they drive on them when they are completly smooth and then they everntually shred) So F'ing truck drivers, and the stupid 4X4 driver. who the hell drives straight over the top of a piece of tyre.

its lucky tho that it hit my bonnet first and then my windscreen, if it had enough force to bend my bonnet, I reckon it would of cracked my windscreen.

Spotted 5 lines while I was out for a couple of hours

3 of them were in the Myres side car park all within 20 meters of each other. this was around 11:30 - 12:00

1 White R34 Coupe (NA)

1 Black R32 Coupe

1 Black R33 Coupe

and then 2 more lines driving towards Maroochy on Nicklin way

1 White R33 Coupe

1 Silver/grey R33 Coupe

There are a lot of 33's on the coast

There are a lot of 33's on the coast

theres alot of 33s everywhere. give it another year or two and 34s will be just as common too. doesnt mean ill like them any less though :P

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
