100% of the cars you saw in that car park probably had defects too bud. It isnt any better up here. :D

It's good you enjoyed yourself.

I see alot of R32's, and R33's up here, as per usual, but what I've so many of since I've been up here are S13 Silvia's.

I just moved to the Gold Coast from Sydney,.. honestly I miss Sydney, but that's mainly because I don't know anyone up here, and have no clue what to do, or where to go on weekends.

The Broadwater car park definately seems to be a saturday night hotspot,... the first weekend I was up here was when the cops defected something like 119 cars, and confiscated 7, something along those lines anyway.

I went to check it out for the first time last saturday, although I'd usually try to stay clear from such attention, in Sydney anyways,... but I got nothing better to do up here as of yet.

I didn't realise before how far Brisbane city is from the Gold Coast,.... so is Surfer's the only place to go out on weekends?

Welcome dude

You sure picked a great city to move to. Gold coast is awesome. Soon you will have many friends and maybe a few hotties ( preferably in bekini's and not mankini's ). Anyway, enjoy yourself, i sure you will find some good spots to hang out. Also, Gold coast is sometimes a hotspot for defect cops. Just make sure your car is legal and you won't have any problems.

the Gold Coast isnt that far From Brisbane

Now in Sydney.....well EVERYWHERE is far there! I got told Parramatta wasnt 'that' far to the city....my ass it takes frigging ages!

Gold Coast is like 40-50 mins from Brisbane so I hear.

Parramatta is only 30 mins from the city. The only reason why it probably seems long is that there's 10x more traffic in Sydney, especially if you don't take the M4.

Driving for 30mins from Parra to a nightclub in the city is normal,... but now I'll have to drive 50mins along the M1 to get to Brisbane ?

After checking out Surfer's, there's only so many places to go,... and I have no idea where all the hotties are hiding ? Maybe Brisbane is the go on the weekends.

Welcome to the coast infamous :D You'll get over missing Sydney before long, I moved to GC in '03 and it was weird at first but suprisingly easy to settle in because practically everyone is from other states :ermm:

R33, glad you had fun - its a great place to be !

Gold coast chicks are a hell of alot more decent then brissy girls.(sorry but its true :ermm:) Depending on your age really depends on which clubs you wanna head out too.

But brissy clubs are hell of alot better then gold coast haha.

But brissy clubs are hell of alot better then gold coast haha.

the goldcoast clubs are starting to pickup their act though.

the bedroom, drinks, cocktails & platinum nightclubs are some of the better ones on the coast.

but when it comes clubbing in brisbane... they valley is the best place to go - family, met, planet, birdies, etc.

i moved here in 04 and i didnt just move state i moved country! u will settle in and meet some pretty cool people on the coast. i couldnt believe the cars when i got here first and as soon as i stepped out of bris airport i fell in love with skylines cos id never seen a skyline in real life before and since then ive seen so many crazy cars!

got over surfers AGES ago, id rather go to a pub or rsl now, but thats prob cos im not searching for tail, i have my women.

yea i enjoyed it heaps man. il never wash those jocks again!!! :laughing-smiley-014: :)

maybe you could frame those Y fronts, sign 'em and see what you get for it on ebay? a genuine jock soiling from riding in a 400 KW 300ZX is gotta be worth something right?

    • @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.
