I would like them to have a general interest....

The pop quiz is uneccessary...I just want girls or guys that are willing to help

:)

not afraid of failing are we? :D

its ok, ill keep it simple :)

maybe we could get the entrants to do a quick write up on their cars instead! like a little blurb about the main points of their cars... thats probably a better idea actually...

Do you know how HICAS works little man.. On both hydraulic and electronic systems?

i wouldnt mind helping out. do you have to be good looking? I know a little bit about cars lol But definatly LOVE them esp skylines...

No - they are just looking for people who want to have fun and help. It's not a show girl gig.

And ignore the quiz comments - most of them think HICAS is what you say to a girl named Cassy

Yep what TJ said >_<

You are more then welcome Addison...will add you to the list

Have you got a SAU shirt by any chance?

do you have to be good looking?

Definatly not or I wouldn't be in there!!!

It will be good to meet a few other girls that have the same interest.

I dont have a SAU shirt either. I hope they come in pink :)

nope.. i'll buy one thought hehe

Cool :)

Are you member of SAU NSW??

Definatly not or I wouldn't be in there!!!

Sif say that about yourself's girls *tsk tsk*

Yeah im the same will be great to meet others like me lol " Car Crazy" :)

No pink :) but there is a merchandise thread...go in there and check your size and what style of shirt you want as there are two types...

Bwahahahaha or my male co worker for that matter >_<

So how many have you got babe and how many do you need?

Well she has me >_<

Haha everytime I see your SAU user name.. I sing that "do your ears hang low, do they wobble to and fro.. can you tie them in a knot can you tie them in a bow" bwahaha

    • 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.
