Celsior036.jpg

well, saw the celsior being driven down the street by the new owner this morning.

its a nice feeling being debt free, but it was kinda sad seeing my car driving away from me.

so yeah, cheers to everyone who tagged along through the hills o friday and saturday night, was a good send off me thinks. ill probably be rocking the magna until i decide what to do now, but its unlikely ill be buying another car for a while.

Good work buddy! Thought you were gonna buy a 32GTR after the sale, change in plans?

still considering a good 32R or 33R, but i was reminded of a couple possibilities, a working holiday is at the top of the list at the moment.

It was good to see it out on the weekend, looked hot when you let some air out of the bags :laugh: hope to see you in a Nissan in the near future.

heh, cheers mate. :)

freakin vu... cheers for the drink. :cool:

I was actually considering buying/looking at this car before I got my 180SX. Looked like a great deal for an excellent car.

When I sold my first car it kinda sucked watching it drive off but I knew I made a good deal on my part and I had better things coming, which is hopefully the same for you.

    • Give it 40psi and send it to the moon
    • I suspect 550s are on the large side for happy operation with a stock/Nistune RB20 ECU. The Hitachi ECU doesn't love short pulse width operation, and the RB20 doesn't need much fuel at idle. Big injectors can be unpleasant. This could be contributing.
    • Yeah, I still don't know why the idle speed control can't catch the falling RPMs. In the Consult logs I see the AAC duty cycle rising, but suddenly it goes lean and the engine stalls. Anyways, the relevance here is the DW 550cc injectors are probably the same. So if OP has similar issues I would be tempted to finger those injectors as problematic for whatever reason vs the ECU failing for some reason.
    • Yeah, sort of blurring two different things together, aren't we? I just meant O2 feedback closed loop. I used to have a 0-1V LCD meter on my dash, wired directly to the O2 sensor signal. So you could easily see what it was doing. Normal running it would flick back and forth nicely. Slow down to an idle and it would keep flicking, as the ECU tried to servo to maintain stoich, but it would slow down as each swing happened until it would stay at one end of the scale. As I said above, the sensor heater is not enough to keep it hot enough when there is also little heat in the exhaust flow. Give it a blip and it would start swinging again, then peter out again. Meanwhile, idle speed control would run just fine, because unrelated.
    • It's not even O2 feedback, it's just simply when the ECU sees the closed TPS signal for whatever reason the idle will start steadily dropping until the engine dies. With the TPS adjusted to not trigger closed TPS it will idle at some ridiculously high RPM and something like 6 degrees of timing. In the absence of getting eyes on it personally and a lot of quality time doing diagnostics I couldn't tell you what the real problem was but it was interesting nonetheless
