OK, I'm a shit stirer, (I don't really mind either, as maybe some people may feel the benefits).

So,

There are caps from Victoria (http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...&threadid=17617)

Shirts from WA (http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...&threadid=13333)

PROPOSED Jackets from NSW (http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...&threadid=15824)

ETC. . .

When is the (newly registered & CAMS affiliated) NSW club going to offer this sort of merchandise ?? And what will it be ?? Have you asked the members what they want or are you deciding on behalf of them ??

Or, maybe we need to go off and make it ourselves as per the the other States ???

And please don't tell me to be patient. . . . . . . . because I have been. (i think). I do realise that other stuff has been happening (eg CAMS, recruiting, stickers, etc) But, I am seeing the need ( read more members) if we got some shirts/caps/jackets/ and shit going.

What do ya reckon, (again, maybe there is somthing going on that I don't know about, but timelines would be good)

Cheers,

PS - I reserve the right to retract the above if I have missed a post/newsletter/e-mail etc outling the above aformentioned topic -

or whatever . . . .

Brendan,

From what i have looked into, we can only get stuff in bulk, and then to get it embroidered etc it will be a costly exercise but we need to make sure we can get our money back (ie 20 jackets @ $50 + $10 ea to embroider = $1200) and so we need to make sure we can sell all of those jackets at $60ea before we can go ahead.. We are currently working on a few sponsors, once we have them underway (within the next few weeks) we can start looking into merchandise, i need to find somewhere that will supply and embroider as we need them (or at least in smaller up-front numbers (like 5 etc)...

we are not doing nothing.

Christian,

My Sister works for Brother International (sewing machines) and is an embroidery expert.

I can get any small quantity embroidery done for free (more quantaties would mean that maybe to look at an organisation to do this though - (like what you have been looking at).

Maybe this may help getting things started ??

Cheers,

:(

Hehe just saw this post... I'm organising caps coz the opportunity rose. We're still FAAAAAAR from actually having a club organised.

We've got a psuedo commity atm and no president so yeah, you guys have more structure than us.

Plus the gear I wanna get done is for anyone on the forums not jus the VIC fellas, but since I'm a mod in VIC then I posted on there (that way I can remove the d!ckhead posts).

Our structure atm is something happens when someone puts their hand up and offers to do it (without having to rely too much on the others). eg: Melb Autosalon, Caps + Beanies etc..

If you guys are getting shirts and merchandise done and need numbers to keep the costs down let us (in VIC) know, we're keen and I'm in Syd at least once a month or so, so I can pick em up off yas.

It's just that nobody seems overly interested at the moment. :confused:

Firstly, congrats on resurecting a 1 year old thread :).

Secondly, as much as its difficult to comprehend, i have a life outside of SAU. I have not gotten the logo for you yet and I apologise, but please QUIT BADGERING ME about it! its driving me nuts!

If you want to organise a deal with the club, contact Dino as he is the club president now. Otherwise for forum merchandise, learn to be patient.

Christian

    • @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.
