Stopped at the lights accross from bunnings and a black Mazda 3 pulled up next to me with 5 guys in the car one of them throws a beer bottle cap at my car, so as any normal person that drives a Stagea/skyline does i proceded to get out of the car and punch the F*ck head in the back seat through the window that thew that cap at my car and then his mate proceded to throw a bottle at my car and left a dent in the sill just below my roof rack.

If you know these idiots let me know id love to go round 2 with all five of the cowards, they wouldnt even get out of the car.

i just dont understand why someone would pull up next to you and throw something at your car for no reason ? what is there to gain from it? did they really think i would just sit in my car wich i worked dam hard for and let them drive off joking about how tuff they were?

Good to see someone standing up for themselves and their car. Ballsy move though, not knowing all five could've taken the usual way out of a blue and ganged up on you. Maybe they didn't bother 'cause the thrower was deemed to have earnt the smack upside the head. Then again, the bottle thrower needs a good kicking,too... Any idea on rego' plate or locality of car?

Only thing i got off the rego was NSW BBQ but the Q could of been a D or an O and the car was definately a mazda 3 black/charcoal so im guessing QBN or Jerra

dont think it was ballsy at all any one cowardly enough to throw something out a car at Traffic lights with 4 of thier mates in the car would have to be a coward, When i got out of my seat first up i yelled "GET THE F*CK OUTTA THE CAR" no doubt in my mind i would of finnished off all 5 of em . Just couldnt get the dogs door open.

i live in Qbn, what colour was the car i'll keep an eye out for it.

i think there's just something about half of the ppl in Qbn. i was driving down the main road, a car in front of me stopped, chucked it in reverse to parallel park - no dramas there, i left him enough room to complete the manouvre. a pedestrian who was wanting to cross the road (not at the lights or a designated crossing point) had to walk around my car. as he did i saw his hand come up, i saw his hand come down and 'slap', he intentionally hit the back of my car. i yelled a few colourful words at him, which was met by a look of surprise and stupidity. he looked genuinely shocked i had a go at him for hitting my car, like he was in the right.......

there's just a few more idiots down this part of town than other areas, except perhaps woden on a friday & saturday night

What a rude buggers. I also live in Qbn, I'll keep my eye on Mazda 3 with BBQ number plate.

I doubt Mazda 3 drivers are enthusiasts.

Lock your doors in Qbn... I was giving away on traffic in an intersection, some pedestrian tried to open the back door of my car while he was crossing the road, luckily all doors were locked.

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @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.
