Today, I was just walking through macquarie centre carpark, and I saw this ricer in a n14 pulsar with his bonnet up. I just happened to have all my workshop tools in my wagon, so I thought i'd give him a hand.

I asked him what was wrong. He goes trying to change my battery. This cheap arse ricer had gone down to big W to buy a new car battery. He tried to save like $2 by changing the battery himself instead of just going to battery world, or a mechanic. Anyways, he was standing there looking like the biggest tool. HE HAD NO TOOLS. He expected to change the battery with his bare hands.

His car was a big mess. Tehre was acid everywhere. Anyways, I lent him some of my tools. Stood there for about 1/2 hour in bright sun (yeah, I'm really white alright). He got acid on my tools, so I'd have to go home and clean them.

All for what? not one single thanks. Make me think twice about pulling over and helpingn anyone.

Yeah, pretty much. It's not like I just lent him the tools. He didn't even know what the f**k was going on. He almost put the terminals on the wrong way, he was turning the nuts the wrong way. I pretty much did the whole thing for him.

if it was an sau u member u woulda got some beers outta it for sure, or i woulda given u beers if i was in trouble and another person helped me out, like the other i was driving along giving it a squirt and i popped intercooler piping aND LUCKILY JON ( PRIMORDIAL) stopped and lent a hand so i was a ble to get to work.

tsk tsk tsk whenever sum1 dosent say thanks to me for sumthing i just tend to say no f*cking worries then. then i walk off

I do that too - you do a simple, courteous thing like hold a door open for someone as they walk in behind you, and they don't even acknowledge your gesture, so I say "No problem" or something similar clearly and loudly enough so they hear it...

You should have just been honest with him and told him he was an ungreatful bastard... arrogant bastards can't say thanks or even a freaking smile and a nod or some fkn gesture especially when you did some road side assistance for the sonofabitch... or maybe its against his religion to say thanks? Yea we get pricks like that in my area aswell just stare at you like your an alien or something when you try and be helpful and courteous.

The best approach is what Milenko & GoldZilla do.. sarcasm rules!

This is what you get for helping Pulsar owners. :)

But yeah, if some random fellow car enthusiast went out of their way to give me a hand I'd thank them. Offer to buy them lunch, at least.

I realise that most ricey Pulsar owners tend not to be swimming in cash, but surely they could just put off buying another set of Nangkangs or Wanlis for their 18" chromies for a little bit longer and showing your appreciation and showing some level of respect.

P.S. You should have keyed his car in "payment". ;)

;) thats exactly what I do

They say chivalry is dead? It was the bitches that don't say "thanks" that killed it!! :O

:rofl::D

Oi I use to be a pulser driver :) They are not all like that some people are just plain rude

But he might of been embarrased as didnt have a clue what he was doing and had a audience but thats no excuse for not having any manners :laugh:

    • Did and sync timing with light 
    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.
