Hey shauno are you going to head back down the drags to the test and tune? it would be good to see you get a few good runs in...

Actually are you chasing a intercooler kit?? Squizz found a really good price for a full kit... I think I had better grab one... if your interested we can order in bulk... cut shipping down...

MAybe in the future i'll look at running at the drags again but for now i'm just gonna resist the temptation to drive at all therefore when i get my licence back i might actually drive how do you say drive it like normal people do.

Daikin Clutch is a subsidiary of EXEDY Corporation, meaning there Japanese ...... they mainly do clutches for japanese cars, I'm telling you this because I was told I need to learn facts, but i guess your just saying your opinion, and I'm not allowed to have one of those ... so ofcourse your right an I'm wrong ....

Can i ask a q? if you had a choice between a silvia and a pulsar SSS what would you choose and why? I just tryin to decide what one i would buy for my first car as they are both 4cyl and they should be cheap to run. Im postin here cause im from gladdy

depends on your age, how much money you have, how much you want to spend on insurance, but with insurance you can always do the dodgey way and insure it under your parents name. Personally I'd go the silvia its rwd and they come in turbo. their both worth around the same now too as SR20DET silvia's are now like 8 or 9 grand for a very basic stock manual one. Just depends what you want from a car, do you want FWD or RWD?

Id prefer a RWD so i can get used to RWD before a skyline. Since its me first car i only have between 7-8 grand and i wont have much to spend each week cause id prob only have a part time job im just concerned about gettin a turbo because of maintanience etc. If anyone has owned either of the cars just let us know if u like it and the sorts of costs thanks. oh and i only really want basic stuff from the car im not after huge power just somfin to beat my mates :D Hes prob gettin a crappy hyundai tiburon lol

Ah yes the Hyundai tiburon a formidable race machine even in standard form.

You might be able to get onto a cheap NA silvia for around that 7-8 grand pricerange,

But for that kind of money i think you would be pushing it to get a turbo.

SSS or Silvia you should be able to beat your mates car.

Both a nice cars.

Good luck with whatever you get.

Just letting you know that Dev wants to plan a big cruise to the Beach on next Sunday... this is open to all... we will meet at One O'clock Sunday Afternoon at the Post Office at Shopping Fair... That is the Shopping Fair Carpark closest to musgrave street...

It will be open to all vehicles however imports are preferable as otherwise you might not keep up... he he...

So would anyone be interested... maybe even some Gladstone people might be keen for a rocky- yeppoon cruise to meet some new friends??

Last weekend we had a good cruise... although only just a few close mates and not well advertised we had a good collection of cars... Including a 33 GTR, A31 Cefiro, VR Clubsport, a brand new (read: days old) Commodore R8 and of course the dirty "Q with Boost"...

we were then joined by a few others down in Yeppoon including Rick with his GTR, jeremy and jamien with there FJ20 Bluebird... Jeffro's GTS-4 and a mixture of Kaos R32's... It was really fun and again it is welcome to all... preferably instead of meeting up at the beach we should all cruise down together...

    • 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.
    • 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.
