Put me down please..

If i don't have my car on the road well my skyline on the road by then ill just sit passenger lol

Put you down ? :)

That'll cost a fortune at the vet

You already beended :)

What would suit best ? Weekday or weekend ?

My +1 hasn't been though!

Weekend.

PS if you guys go and take the fun route to get there i will come for a drive but not go into the dam!

We will be going that way, yes :P

whats going on?? lol when cruise?

Get your Skyline going, then we'll talk. :O

better get my ass into gear..

thinking if i should get one of those single din gtr gauges.. because im not too sure ifi want to drill into my dash..

Nismo 3 gauge dins look sweet so does the defi ones

yes you should.

less worrying about gauges and brand whoring, and more worrying about working engine biatch ;)

Ask John if we took the fun route.

*edit*

Room for one more and that's it.

Going once,

Twice,

Thrice......

So Pwnd,Smity42, Isola + better half, Beelzebub89, Redsuns88 and me. Bunta coming for the drive. Beers after... Swoit sounds like it could be fun. I'll let you guys know what weekend it will be.

Nothing wrong with brand whoring! I even matched my pistons to my gasket kit just so it would sound good :P

Excellent! PS which way did you go to get there over glorious and along side wivenhoe?

Winrar!

Typing meeting minutes sucks bawls...

Dont you have an office bitch for that??? Or is that you? :P

WARNING!!! Mute or turn down sound. Combination of Steel Panther at high volume, plus screaming RB, plus wind coming in both windows at high speed = very painful to listen to if sound is turned up.

One of the passengers on the next run can use my video camera :)

Nothing wrong with it when the car is already running :P

Yessir :P

I've tried giving it to the office bitch but she is so f**king useless I may aswell do it myself. I'm the foremans/QA& Environmental Managers bitch.

Well... it is. It's just not together.

I'm just trying to stir Tas up about him obsessing over gauges when the engine is a little more important :)

Yeah engines are a little more important!

I wish i had spare funds to chase the other little bits i want....but stoopid rebuilds are expensive!

Get me the environmental managers job, I wouldnt even make you my bitch.....much :P

dw tas will change cars before he decides what gauges to go with :P Odds on what car is next? I'll give 7:1 for a car swap before the skyline is finished :P

FYP

DIAGF?

Nah our environmental manager is way too good lol. :)

Yeah, just a little, seeing as how the only gauge that's any good without one is a volt meter :P

Mmmmm I know what you mean. I think I'm gonna have to be careful once I land a job to NOT go stupid on little expensive pieces. The only money I'm really prepared to throw at the 32 is a paint job, and an engine transplant (and related items. fuel pumps etc). Apart from that I have to start saving for my 34 once I'm working again!! :)

    • 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.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
