Hey peeps. I'm now a full timer at Buddy club.

I'm in charge of design here (and a good dab of marketing), that's all the print work for various car magazines as well as the web site. I've been here for about a month now, it's been great to combine passion with work, something I always strive to do.

I know many Skyline owners are not fame whore inclined but I'm currently trying to develop a customer car gallery on the Buddy club web site so if any of you have Buddy club products on your car, please email me some pictures, your name and exactly what Buddy club products you have on your car and I'll add them to the gallery!

Send images to: justin(AT)buddyclub.com.au

sidrr20: Awesome. Send me more! I'll definitely include your car on the Buddy club site.

And redevil: You're WRONG there about Buddy club products now being replicas.

Many of the products including wheels are still being made in Japan. The ultra light weight QF forged wheel is made in Japan, so too the PII Plus.

Yes the Japanese company was taken over my AAI. AAI are into motor sports and based in Taiwan. They distribute a lot of great Japanese brands including TOM'S, Autoexe, Blitz, Mugen and a lot more. Check: http://www.aai-racing.com.tw/aai.php

I am not a trader here so I'll be careful with what I say. Buddy club does not sell direct to the public in any case (wholesale only). Although if you are dead serious about wanting something at mates rates then PM me and we'll see if we can work something out.

Hey champ..

I sent you a few links in the email.. let me know if you recived my email!!

Would be aweosme if you could include my car in there!! Would be so greatful if you could do that!!

Let me know if you need more pics etc..

Btw for those of you who havnt even seen the p1s range shouldnt comment.. They are the lightest rims i have picked up!! Workman ship is just as it use to be say 10 years ago.. (exactly like my p1s-- strong, light, forged etc)

Dude, i might be keen if you could get your hands one some orignal p1s in gunmetal.. Let me know if you can find a set.. brand new that is

Even tho i got a set, i want another set!!

Cheers man

Edited by siddr20

do they still make that mega, ultra, super light rims? kinda P1 style, but more dish, and more shiny... might be more GTR offset/size. I think i saw a pic on a demo R34 GTR

anyone know what i'm talking about? There's the p1's which are supposedly like bricks compared to these other buddy club rims... :ninja:

um i just saw the latest shipment at access another official buddy club distributor and instead of two piece spun forged they are now one piece cast.... so dont know what your on about? definately cast NOT forged.

plenty of other good products non the less, im just about to use their cams in a tough evo 6 TME.

LOL Ronin, it's alright, you know me, always happy to try and hook a brother up!

The P1's are NOT FORGED and never ever were. The only super lightweight forged rim they have is the QF version (QF stands for Qualify First, ie: a qualifying race rim):

15" 4.65 Kgs

17" 6.15 Kgs

18" 6.70 Kgs

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • 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.
