hehe...yer, its a bit like that :D

Rang up yesterday. I was expecting a few weeks, but Con said mine should be ready sometime next week! woot! I was expecting 3 weeks or something, so pretty happy its a lot less than i expected. Hopefully its all sweet and as good as when i bought it (if not better)

They cut me a good deal on my grill and bumper, so that is all getting done too at the same time. Finally no more greyness !

  • 3 weeks later...
  • 3 weeks later...

need to go and visit and see how my babys going... need to see if they can get it done in the next couple of weeks... i need my car back the soarers driving me mental!! but at the sametime still fun to drive :)

Hey you're not driving a falcon that won't go above about 40km/hr up a hill, the head gasket is probably about to bust at any moment, and well I hate holding up traffic!! that is NOT fun anymore :)

My mate was in hysterics when he drove it the other day :)

Mine should be back in a few days I think.. go remind them to chase up that suspension place where it is atm!

its outside their shop without the front bar man i pass it every day :) i am going down tomorow to see when mines going to be ready.... i want it back :)

will ask con about ur one gords :)

Gordon - was just down at palm... my car should hopefully be ready in 2 weeks max :( ur car however is waiting on the front bar... suspensions been done its been sitting and waiting for a few days cause the front bar is ***t man.

there are cracks all thru it which will show up thru the entire paint job and con says he doesnt really want to paint it and have it leaving there looking like that. Honestly man id get a new front bar... maybe not something as low as that either... or just get a new 400r bar i spose... but the one thats their doesnt look crash hot.

hehe shes outside enjoying the sunshine :) very shiney i must say... dropped off the mesh and my car will be ready by next week... i cant go down until next friday anyways so thats whe i will be picking her up... give her the thrashing she so loves and then parking it for another 2 weeks until i pay my rego :D

hehe hey pred i seen ya car again today... looks pretty much the same :( theres a nice 350z down there now and im pretty sure i seen the rear end of my car.. which looked painted :D might pop down before work and take a look :D

    • 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.
