Welcome to the forums Noel :)

I also remember the "good times" in Australian motor sport, before it became very boring :)

There is a dyno day on Saturday 24th Feb at All Star. Details here. You are more then welcome to come along and spectate, have a snag and a drink or two and meet some fellow SAu'ers.

Hope to see you there :(

haha man you remind me of one of my workmates. The elderly are allways so testy, seems they have something to be defensive about.

Id be careful about threatening youth of today with violence old man, dont you know? Were all wired up with drugs and could snap at any time.

Best of luck with that, I think you will find that at a brisk walk I will be just too hard to catch up to.

Prehaps it would be easier if you sat down and watched some daytime tv instead, or even better, moved into one of thoes lovely retirement homes. Dinners at 7, lights out at 10. :huh:

Oh welcome to the club btw...

well if you pm elite 32 I am sure he wouldn't have too many issues checking the car over for you and let you know how mechanically sound the car before purchasing it. Others here have tried RACQ inspections but still ran into issues, but dan is normally right on the money when it comes to skylines :huh:

Thanx bloke. Already got it taken care of. Mark at Tony Motsons is my man. Very experienced line tuner and loves a fast car to boot. We have already mapped a programme to put me where i want to be horsepower and suspension wise. However, I will not be proceeding with the extra mods until I have seen and spoken to a few more line owners with similar setups, Hence my eagerness to get to know yall and your cars.

    • 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. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
