Being a minority sucks eh?

yes it does :D

been working on site and in the field for 4 years so i actually know something, not like the office engineers

Must be all that boozing and sleeping....

true that 5 years at uni i learned shit all except how to pretend u r paying attention when u r really asleep

You havent been tring hard enough ... ive been working for a little over 5 years and have managed to duck and weave so as not to learn a single thing...:D

...oh and Luke you have PM

You think... out of all the engineers i have met, only 1/2 dozen have impressed me with their general engineering knowledge or general aptitude to follow things outside their area of focus, why because they did the real learning at Uni.

And more importantly not have to blow their own horns by trying to make everything sound complicated.

My experience has been office engineers=technical, site engineers=practical, you need both of them, the trick is to recognise respective strengths and play on them.

That puppy is awesome... you can tell you have issues when you start looking at things like that turbine and 3 hours later find yourself still looking at all its bits and pieces. Forget putting that on my Skyline, i want that for my RC Tamiya Big Wig!

I worked in the petro/chem for about 18 months then moved into pharmaceutical... now im looking at moving back into the ptero/chem even power generation to help my prospects of getting some work OS in the future.

Inasnt, how do you go with remote posting... are you over them yet?

There are 4 of those puppies that my we are upgrading to bigger and more efficient ones. They are 50 years old!

With power gen especially renewable energy theres heapes of jobs around!

    • 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.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
