Ok you start with $15k, at the age of say, 16. You are now 18, and have $70k. This means you have gained $55k in at most, 3 years. This works out to be just under $20k/year.

In other words - you didn't actually earn much of that by working, obviously. Most 16 year olds are lucky to get 6 bucks an hour, and they've got school at least part time. That amount of money is not far off what a lot of people on adult wages get for full time work.

So again, I conclude, that it is rich parent syndrome :D

dont u get it still??

he has just been making up shit to make himself look good!!

Its ALL BS!! It just doesnt add up

His profile says he was born in 1970 (so hes about 30 according to that)

He's 18 in his posts....

He's un-Imployed (according to profile) so he doesnt work to get the money. He's still at school (most like preschool), because he can't spell a simple word either.

The internet is a wonderful tool for the insecure

it may not be bullshit, one of my very good friends is 17 and he has a brand new m3, half of which the money used to pay for the 160g beast was legitemetly earned by himself. I respect him for being able to do that. Im like greg i worked sinci grade 7 for my parents company, lasted year a bought a vl did it up and sold it for twice what i payed for it and as an end result had 10g's in the bank, my parents where nice enough to give me 6 so i could have a decent car, and i now have my line. They woudltn let me have a turbo charged first car not only due to insurance but they thought i would of killed myself and i know for a fact i would of. Im still only 17 and work my guts out for mods for my car but its worth it. Some people just have it a little easier, but dont be ashamed to say u have nice parents that were willing to buy u a car, its not a bad thing just dont bullshit about it.

they were his 2 options. r34 gtr or m3, u know which i told him tyo get but he liked the bimmer more, it drove smoother, ive driven it! oh my god what a car, but i must say i have never driven a 34 gtr but i creamed my dacks just sitting in one and revving it. haha. oh well.

WTF?

wtf is wrong with 70k for a first car that is absoulely NOTHING.

i am not saying that i have that, i have nothing near that....but thats not the point. Rich parents is all that guyz needs, mayb he does work for his parents for like 50bux an hr? who knowz? but jus coz many of u guyz cannot get that cash in that time period doesnt mean he's bullshiting..I know OF some1 whose 18?19? drives a porshe carrera =) and also heard he has an M3 and his mum drives a royce...his family owns a hotel..which is pretty big in sydney? so like what is so surprising about this 18year old having $70k, + jus coz he's rich doesnt mean we should be dissin him. Im a bit of a poor bastard myself, and yes i wouldnt mind having $70k to buy a first car, but such is life, there are alwayz people beta off than us, in which means there are ALSO many people whom we are betta off den, so we should jus be content wit wat we have n stop dissing him..

yeah so mate,...jus get a 350Z..i doubt u would get insurance wit a r34GTR.....................350Z is da way to goo!!!

okay guys, maybe this is bullshit maybe not

but to say a 18 yr old can't earn 20 grand a year? hehehe u gotta be kidding me

i am clearing close to that, only a little bit off and i don't work full time :) so there ya go i only turned 18 this year :( and no i ain't bragging just trying to stop the generalisation that occurs :)

adrian:P

Guys, i dont think anyones doubting that a 18 y/o can earn 20K a year or the fact that some people are fortuneate enough to have a 70K first car. Sure sometimes people have well off parents (lucky them) and sometimes they have to work damn hard.

What matters is their ATTITUDE towards that situation.

But in this particular situation i think everyones calling B/S, because it probably is

well im 18 and my first car is a R34 GTR...not that i can drive it anymore, but u can. My parents bought it for me and i still got it.. Just sits in the garage and i have to wait till im 21 now to drive the bloody thing.. So he might aswell can get one...

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • 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.
