Spotted Sam Irving up the coast at caloundra yesterday morning...

Almost missed him and was in the S15 so I didnt flash or toot as he would not have known who it was, plus he went past before I even knew it was him...

do u own a s15 as well, col??

it has always been my dream to have a s15 and GTR at the same time, but my old one got crashed....

yeah there is, its a r34 gtt coupe,m personal plates are R34, and i think its for sale for 50,000

i dont know if its still for sale but im pretty sure it was around the 50k mark i bought my skyline from the place its up for sale or was...

500hp with the engine all redone with green pipes and everything

My partner has a "S15 S-GT"

As my car is in pieces atm and hers in on a salary package (you need to do 15,000km's per year min)

So we drive her car 90% of the time...

The garage is for the S15 and the R33... They look hot sitting side by side...

The company hacks get the road out the front... :P

Ive seen you getting around. Was out driving with my boss during work time (we were in a "meeting") and you were turning onto park street in milton, I think you waved? Anyway not sure if it was you, but it was a chick in a pink skyline with a black bonnet, clean paintjob. Nice ride.

I was in a grey 32 GTR /w black bonnet btw.

hmm... im not sure if it was me, my skyline is a pearl pink, if it was me, u would have seen it in fully matt paint, it must have been during the time when i was working on it. Now the paint of my car is half done i still gotto gloss the black parts ,also my boot and wheels are black as well. Anyway so far i havent seen another pink skyline on the road so the chances of it being me are good... well i hope there aren't any other pink skylines around :laugh: hehe

arh dam! not fair! i wanted to be the only pink skyline owner :)

Ah well yours is a distintive R33 so thats a differeance rather a 33 then 32 !..( no 33 Vs 32 war ) just a personal preferance :) unless its a 32 GTR ;):D:D

I was at car wash, I was already stopped ;) you drove past.

You live local I guess? Got a mate on Browns Plains road with a black R33, not to be confused with the black R33 in Marsden that does skids a fair bit (something PSI plates). Use to stir him up when I worked for dominos driving the echo, go skyline go! lol

I saw a couple cars going the opposite way along the bruce highway... drove to noosa and back, bit hard to wave and didn't pay enough attention to remember, but hello anyway haha.

Spotted Bunta's other car (wine red R33)which has been borrowed by Shanef.

It was parked on the side of the road at the city end of the Centenary Highway near the Toowong Roundabout. It appeared to be empty and sad.

Something obviously went wrong with it.....

Hehe, I waved frantically. Hardly any skylines on the road on new years day!

so that was you

me and mushroom were convoying back from a nye party, and when we parted ways he said he thought he saw you

was travelling down the length of ipswich rd around midday or so

Indeedy, did a compression test on her in the arvo and wasnt good, turns out it blew the headgasket. Put her on the back of a truck, and got her home.

    • @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.
