my old housemate. Street name start with a J?

thats the one

in the early hours of this morning some clown walked up my driveway towards my wifes skyline, but the sensor lights came on and they fled. your mate had a few cars hooning around last night so im guessing it may have been a freind of his, so i will have a chat with him next time i see his car there.

my bro was watching WWE on fox in the lounge room and seen them out the window but his only 15 and not up to opening the door and chasing the goons down the street with a wheel brace, so he just observed and then told me this morning.

i guess they were lucky this time.

Thats plain and simple f*cked.

Not something you need to be worrying about when you hit the sack at night.

there was several other car alarms in the street that went of as well during friday night.

not sure if they were being young tools and setting there own alarms off or something more?

im not saying that he has anything to do with the skyline theft issue at the moment just that hey he only moved in last week or so and his freinds were out the front. could have been just having a look im not sure.

to be honest man I really don't think he'd do anything like that. Before I moved in with him his car was broken into, bout 6 months ago, at his old house and he chased them down the road, caught one of them, flattened em and dragged them back to his house where he held the shit till the cops came. then had them charged..

he's definatly not the kind of person to do anything like that, nor any of his friends that i met while living with him.

one of the alarms ya probably heard friday night woulda been mine. Got my car back from having engine done and the wankers that did the work managed to f**k up my bonnet sensor somehow, so during the car cooling down it randomly "panics". Unfornately my alarm set off the other 2 LOL

hehe and i set my alarm off today playing around with the earths under the dash haha. fun stuff i tell ya. i wish i knew the guys in japan that did this work so i could say 'mate, you're shithouse at electronics'.....

-D

thanks

Darren

    • 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.  
    • 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.
