miiiiiiitch avcr is runnin sweet now its right on the money :-)

Wiiiiiill..... sounds good man, dont think ive been for a ride in your car yet, youll have to take me for a spin, and work something out with those wheels haha :)

I had a rather enlightening morning...went go pick up breakfast this morning from macca's and as per normal there is usually a police car there picking up there morning breakfast as well...in this case there was one and another turned up after i had parked. the two in the store walked out and started talking to the two guys who had just turned up. Anyway while this was happening i got out of my car and went to walk inside when the female police officer looked at me and asked me if that was my skyline, i politely said yes and then she informed me that apparently turbo timers become defects once you have walked away from your car. So you are allowed to stand next to your car while the timer runs out or you must disable it, otherwise you are able to get a defect. anyway staying polite i said i didnt know and ill make sure to stay next to my car next time and thanked her for the advice, and wished her a good day.

did anyone else know this? i thought it was rather a bizarre defect..

Yeah, the police officer is 100% correct. Usually when you buy a turbo timer you research these kind of things. Just take it as a "Learn as you go" kinda thing. You cant know it all, so don't be down on yourself. - Straight from the horses mouth i reckon!

Was the Macca's good? mcdonalds-funny-pic.jpg

Oh....and one more tip...."Drive Thru" - Allot easier and avoids these types of defects. - Just sharing the experience around. Although i had to stop using it when the car was too low...you wont have that problem...sits like a 4x4 :thumbsup:

Hows Noosa looking today? Was thinking about a surf aye....good weather for it?

Yeah I knew bout this one too, it's pretty stupid if you ask me, but that's the rules!!
yeh i never bought my timer it came with the car and i cant edit it with teh controls like you can so i never know how long its going to run for. But i mean how can you hand out a defect for something thats only defectable under certain reasons. It is not like with a bov set to atomspheric you can just plumb back. The only way to fix this defect is to stand next to your car or turn it off. Ah well cheers jase.

    • For fuelling the Haltechs have O2WB fuel controllers. Very useful for helping tuning VE and correcting for *small* mistakes. Of course if your injector/cam/trigger/sensor data is just wrong (or for a GTT which is not a GT) then you will get impossible reactions to things. I am sure you know this already but the reason people don't typically put haltechs (or any Aftermarket ECU) on GT's is because there's practically no real gains to be had - So this knowledge won't be commonplace.
    • Can someone tell me if the cracks seen in the rear sway bar bushings in these photo's is unacceptable from a roadworthy point of view?  
    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
