Poor S13... it's like being shot down before getting to the combat zone when youre a kamakazi pilot, S13's are supposed to be destined for a firey, glorious explosions somewhere sideways and then off a cliff.

Least you'll grow back though :)

:(

(I is selling the 'p0rnstar' sometime early next year if youre interested... she's 'lucky black', very pretty and very fast too! but dont tell the people at sil-nsw.com about it... they'll fookin keel me!)

yeah i wanted to crash that car on the drive on milk sign at OP

f**k i just wanna stab someone right now!!! Stupid assessors are being assholes.. mine included! Giving me retarded excuses about not assessing the car just yet.

IT'S BEEN 3 WEEKS!!!

speak to a manager but remember that this is Christmas time

christmas time or not! it's been plenty of time to have an assessor look at the car! My assessment has been done (finalised today) yet they haven't even looked at it!

anyhow, I was just venting because getting angry at them isn't smart, so I'm just getting angry here.

abo bob - he got all narky at me today coz I was following up (even though i hadn't spoken to him in 4 days! So a reckon a nice phone call every day will be nice.. bit of sweet talking! he'll love it!

Are you with just cars?

If so I had similar problems. Took them around 6 weeks to do it. They only finally got something done becuase I rang up and spoke to a manager and said that I would be going to the ombudsman if it wasn't assesed within a week. They also paid a week later. The assesor kept on making excuses and assing around.

So definitely worth trying.

fark

liz behind the wheel of a gts-r

sexyness personified!

great car...

hicas..2ltr which comes on boost bout 5000rpm (not good)

and nearly 20 years old

besides that, f**king hot cars!!

they are damn hot cars! for almost no reason!!!

hey Liz how bout something possible but a bit crazy :wave:

mx5 + your sr20 would be a fun car to drive and heaps of power on tap when needed :P

considering I'm probably going to lose a fair bit of money from this crash and had a fair bit of damage done to my back, I want something cheap cheap cheap and something that feels a bit safer than a mx5.

Yeah I saw there was a red one doing dutton that was getting some decent times.. (MX-5 / SR20)

http://www.miatasr20.com/ has kits with brackets to mount the SR into the Miata...

have YOU sat in an mx5 lately? lol. I'm 6'1".. i don't think my left leg will fit in one let alone my whole body lol

I want something cheap cheap cheap and something that feels a bit safer than a mx5.

Behold your new car!

Volvo 242 Turbo. You can't feel any safer than in a Swedish brick, and its a RWD turbo 2 door so it must be fully sick.

Doooo eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetttt!!!

Seriously, those B-series Volvo motors can push out some major grunt with a bit of work!

You can also drop a 350chev in them :)

Hah, a friend of mine at uni had one and they're insanely tough. This bloke in a brand new HSV cut her off one day while we where on the way to school one morning and lets just say, he cut it a 'bit fine' pulling in front of her...

BANG!

:P

f**king plastic everywhere!

Whole back end of the commo was lying across the road and I'm getting out thinking, shit the front end of the horrible orange panzer must be gone as well because of the mess.

Nope... ;)

Theres a thumb sized chunk out of the big, ugly arsed bumper and some scratches but that was it, I climbed underneath and checked out the damage thinking somethings got to have been bent, twisted or busted because the HSV was pretty much a write off.

Nothing! Not a f'ing thing

hahahha!!!!

that's an awesome idea!!!

Hi Liz, how you goin? before you do anything let me know what your thinking, ok!

too late! :P

Cefiro..............

SR20 + Cefiro = Weapon of mass destruction!!

kthnxbye

sr20 + cefirotaxi = a boat that goes no where fast.

Bwahaha... LoL @ Panzer

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • 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.
