I would but noones ever there when I turn up. Hazards of living at Goolwa. I went last week didn't get there till bout 8ish though.. didn't see one 'line in the park. Still got a couple of pies... cant resist

Generally what time are people there till?

I think i saw you driving south on west tce last friday night when we were going to bp.

Hopefully not when I had my momentary lapse of consentration and slid into the middle of the intersection at a red light on west terrace. I was looking at the next set of lights. Looked like a right c*ck, ABS going mental. I just must have missed you all by minutes.

BTW Congrats on the Stag purchase.. what a beast.

just wait til you hit a 4 week stint. its awesome. :blink:

i dont think the celsior was off the road over the year that i owned it for as long as the 200 has been in the last 2 months.

see well the celly still had the toyota reputation

always reliable.

now it just looks like shit especially with its veranda rear guards

it must be a nissan thing.

i think it must be u guys p ing in the fuel tank or something :(

my immediate family had about 10nissans over the last 20years all for lengthy periods and never really had probs with em. the only pieces of crap that regularly broke down was my bros escort, my mums crappy vp and my bros stupidly moddified swift

Paul and i are wishing we left the gearbox to another weekend.....got the box in...only to find someone had completely stripped out the filler plug.....tried hammer and chisel...hammer and punch....hammer and bolts....lots of swearing...we even drilled it our to put and easy out in....got an oxy set..heated the area up..and snapped the easy out.....had to take the back of the box off and change it with the other one we just took out :( ....dammed pulsars..wouldve been perfect cruising weather too.....oh wells.....next week i-we may make an appearance

    • @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.
