I have to be honest and this is totally person opinion... but I think this paint is not too attractive as it's got too much of the purple and the pinkish look - a bit feminine if you know what I mean. Why not go eletric blue or mightnight black with gold sparkles or something.

If applied right.. herlequin pain can look amazing!.. -on the right car in and in the right setting.. and skylines are not the right car..

most herlequin paint jobs look SH*T!.. be very careful!.. you can easily tell when its a crap one.. its blatent! And terrible..

and jut UGLY!

a bit feminine if you know what I mean.

...

with gold sparkles

would you like some fairy dust to go with your wand? ;)

harlequin can be a bit overboard when you have too many colours mixed in. just pick 2-3 colours and go with that - not to mention it'll be cheaper.

The only reason i do not like chameleon is because of the dominant brown colour; and don't try to call it Gold :yes:

Really; what car looks good in brown? :glare:

The new mazda 3's that come out in the chocolate brown/purple sort of colour are the sex (the colour i mean)

dont go the harlequin! looks sh*t.

leave that for the full sick commo drivers imho.

1. isnt it very expensive ?

2. if, lets say, you damaged a front guard...would u need to respray the whole car ? (the "flow" of colours wouldnt match if you just resprayed the guard?)

3. Can look good depending what color combos, and who its applied by...

Just my 2c :ermm:

    • @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.
