Silver 34 GT on TE37 SLs in woy woy today

Thats my mate matt. Its his new car bought from a guy in Queensland last week (hence the QLD plates on it still).

Spotted a white R33 gts-t with a shit bodykit in gosford this arvo, and a sweet looking gunmetal 32 GTR northbound on the freeway just past twin servos

Spotted a white R32 (not sure if gts/t/r? too dark to see) a bit over an hour ago, turning from hugh st onto the pacific highway at merewether. Also saw about 4 different silver R33's in the bottom level carpark of charlestown square between 6 and 7pm - one of them had a dark boot lid and a really nice exhaust note :)

Got my license back on Monday after a pretty lengthy time off.. 8 months in total, was very happy to finally win my appeal in the district court.

Anyway, also got my epa noise test passed (got a notice in the mail not long after loosing my license) Had to get a standard catback and put the standard cat converter back on. Also needed to get a airbox as i bought it with a pod, and remove the boost controller. I was lucky to get away with the dump pipe i had. After it finally passed (86db) i needed to get a pink slip. The bloke at this joint was a pain in the arse. I honestly didnt notice the horn not working or the number plate light out, so fair enough... but they were fixed at the auto electrician (which is part of the business) so i was expecting a pass. Then the bloke notices the key comes out of the ignition while running... fail. Lucky i got one from the toy shop and my old boy fitted it and had it passed the next day.

Seriously though, i was really surprised that he knocked it back over that, i have had them let me off with stuff like that numerous times. Will not go back to that painful prick.

Anyway, sorry for the rant.. but im all back on the road now! :)

Not as yet. Well they are in the car, only sitting on the back seat though. Trying to source another subframe as thanks to low ride height, a tow ball and tongue on the road and 90km/h, Mine is a bit farked.

How did you go with yours?

    • @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.
