1> 85 KC Laser

2> 88 KE TX3 Turbo (fairly modified), twas in hot4's

had to rebuild the engine after too much boost, same happened with the next owner, and the owner before me. :D

3> 78 MK II 1.6 Escort (rear ended)

4> 77 MK II 2.0 Ghia Escort (blew engine)

car 3 and 4 merged together as one, the 1.6 manual come out of the 78 and replaced the 2.0 auto, fun. They were also my runabouts while I waited for the R32 to rock up.

5> 92 R32, see how long this sucker lasts :P

1) 88 300ZX .... awesome car kick the skylines butt, had a knack for going sideways ..... targa for those sunny days .... not a dent in it ..... loving relationship til we started having fuel problems .... it was spending 5 week blocks in workshops who hadnt a phucking clue what was going on .....and neither did i at that time .... just was costing me way too much, parts too hard to find and because nobody could fix the fuel problem it wasnt very reliable.

2) My R33 Skyline .... not as fast as ZX .... not as unique ( i actually had a lot more guys checking me out when i drove the Zed haha) But a horny looking car and money will fix it being a slowboat :) mechanically not much goes wrong *touchwood*

Be a sad day when i parents get rid of the Z .... would like to keep them both but cant afford it :) 300zx is great car when you dont have to use it every day!

1978 VB Commydoor

1987 VL turbo (at least it had a nissan motor)

1996 R33 GTSt. Mint car, really miss it sometimes. Now owned by Matty B on these forums.

1995 R33 GTR Vspec.. Fairly well modded. currently has 320hp at all 4 and will be aiming for over 400 at the rears once the new AFM's go on...

1) Voltswagon Beetle Baja (Had big flared guards and huge mags, mild tweaked 1600cc engine, dad and i spent about a year restoring it, looked Mint!!)

2) 88' Nissan Pulsar Vector SSS (Still got)

3) 95' Skyline R33 GTST (Engine rebuild starting very very shortly :) )

Hate to see how you'd rice a falcon! :)

I can't talk tho..

1 86 excel - fully doofed.. sold the car for less than the stereo was worth!

2. 86 VL RB30 - doofed with little mods.. only bought it cause it had an RB motor in it.

3. 95 R33 GTST - doofed and modded. maybe a few cheapo rice features.. :)

Used to have an EB falcon but it was more a gift than a buy, that was my first car. Man what a piece of junk that was.

First car i bought was a 1980 C210 Skyline.

Second was the almighty 91' Supra TT

Finally the good old 87' Auster Xtt :)

U can tell im stilll young eh :)

All turbos u might note, thats why they call me boostzor :)

    • 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.
