That sucks - sorry to hear. But I have an awesome pager alarm & 2 kill switches, yet I still put a premium Club Lock on my car if I am going to park it anywhere for longer than 5 minutes. How you could park a Skyline (at Enfield of all places) without an alarm is just beyond me. Surely your insurance won't pay since you didn't have an alarm? Just Cars were very explicit with me about no alarm = no insurance.

so just got a call from the police they have located the car in marden they has set fire to it in someones car port and stole my rims

Always the same story. F*ckin lowlifes.

Usually once you're car gets stolen you're very unlikely to see it in one piece again. :down:

Sorry to hear that. :) Hope it works out with your insurance. It was pretty stupid of you not to put alarm in your car though.

Crap end to a crap story! I feel for ya, sadly you can't have anything nice these days without some asshole trying to take it from you. But as Andrew said, parking a Skyline without an alarm ANYWHERE is asking for it to get stolen. :down: I hope insurance does cover you for this, it would be a big hit $$$ wise if not

^^^ im sorry but that statement of shannons saying it was ok to give you insuracne without an alarm is total and utter bullshite.

you have to have an alarm on your car to be insured with shannons. im with them so i know.

^^^ in my case your wrong, i was with shannons for a few years, full comp, no alarm, rating 1 and they still insured me :down:

hrm odd, they made sure I had an alarm AND immobilizer before getting coverage. maybe thats cos its a gtr. who knows

-D

I wasn't critisising you, just stating facts. I understand you would be feeling like shit right now, I just hope others who have no alarm read this thread and think, "hmm... maybe I should install an alarm before I get that next mod, I may be next"

I didn't mean to offend

hrm odd, they made sure I had an alarm AND immobilizer before getting coverage. maybe thats cos its a gtr. who knows

-D

yeh i ran off pages of mods, non of them an alarm and they still did me a good deal :)

anyways i really feel for the thread starter, i dont know what id do if this happened to my car :down:

well your wrong too Rhys, because i started my policy with NO alarm system, full comp through just car.

lol sorry damo, go check the small print cause it will say you need an aus standard imobilizer, yes you can commence the insurance (i did that then read the small print) but if it gets nicked and they find the car with no immibilizer then you failzz......dont beleive me call them tomorra :down:

    • @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.
    • 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.
