Dan,

Once we have all the deposits and go to make the booking we'll post the time. It's pretty much going to be an all day event! :)

Sorry man looks like I won't be able to make it tomorrow night. I paid the $25 deposit into your account with the details supplied though. I'll have to catch up with people sometime before the event.

So this is what it looks like so far:

List:

SL33KY (Emily & Daniel + 1) Deposits taken

Bluprint deposit taken

Sinista32

CeJay

Cef11e

LTSJayce Deposit taken

Contempt deposit taken

supadan

Jai Jai (possibily)

Veilside R33 Deposit taken

Skylvia

a20089 Deposit taken

James (sorry don't know your screen name) deposit taken

TONIGHT WILL BE THE LAST NIGHT TO GET YOUR DEPOSITS IN. IF WE DON'T GET THE DEPOSITS BY SUNDAY EVENING AT THE ABSOLUTE LATEST, THE DATE WILL HAVE TO BE CHANGED UNTIL WE RECEIVE ALL DEPOSITS BECAUSE WE'RE SHORT FOR A FULL BOOKING FOR OUR TEAMS.

Well there's 15 people (need 1 more) Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaconer *hint hint* lol :) if you can't EFT we will be out tonight if you need to meet up! If we can get the last few deposits tonight (I have PM'd all those who are on the list and have not paid yet) we will have our full 16! COME ON GUYS!! :laugh:

Just a quick reminder this is available to anyone it is first in best dressed so if your not on the list it doesn't mean that you can book your place on the firing line. So if you are interested just deposit your money tonight at the museum or online,

Account No 10294940

BSB 062593

Account name Daniel Young

Branch Commonwealth Bank

So first in best dressed

Just letting everyone know that from the look of it (unless some weird miracle happens) it will be the 24th of feb. If it is, all those interested in coming, would the idea of hiring a minibus or something along those lines interest youse seeing as none of us want to take our lines. I that souns good to those wanting to come at a later date and the originals please just post either a YAY or a NAY.

Just seems like the most senisble thing to do all we have to do is arrange a meet point and go from there and i think a20089 if you still up for it maybe yours as there is plenty of car space :P

    • 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.
    • Could be correct. Meter might be that far out. Compare against a known 5 ohm 1% resistor.
    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap.  (edit: I went out and did it right now, the line I had chosen did appear to have no vacuum on it, it used to go to the front of the intake, I've now completely blocked that one off at the bracket that holds several vacuum lines by the firewall.  I T'd into the vacuum line that goes from that bracket to the vacuum pump at the front of the car, but no change in the MAP readings).  Using the new vacuum line that has obvious vacuum on the hose, im still only getting readings between -6.0 and -5.2.  I'm wondering why the ECU was detecting -5.3 when nothing was connected to the MAP nipple and ECU MAP selected as the source. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
