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!! :)

I have a friend that is a good painter, quite cheap too :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 :)

My money is on a Civic or FC

DIAGF?

No thank you, I'm fine :P Check with Tristan

O Rly? Does he do taxi sprays? That's all it really needs. There's one panel that's cracked that I just don't care about anymore but hopefully it can be painted over.

Hmmm I need new window seals so it doesn't take on water like a 95-97 model.

window seals check with clark rubber..

as for car swaps.. pfftf..

jsut finished working on engine/body..

just stuck for what turbo setup i want to use (external/internal).. unsure about highmount clearances tbh.. dont want it to fk my awesome bonnet! :)

also lookin for a 13bt suited for rebuild.. so if anyone sees one do let me know please :P

He will spray it however you want it, If you want a first class job he will do it, if you want cheap and quick he will still produce a pretty good job in limited time

mmm 34. Toss up between 34 or M3 as my next car :P

I will probably hit this guy up once I start f**king with the 32. He's the guy on SAUqld right?

Good call on that. With a spoon engine or 3? I reckon it will be a chaser or an mx5 :P

93-98

all 13bs are suited to rebuilds lol :P

I decided my next car the other day...BMW 335, that engine has so much potential. I also thought about a 135 but apparently due to the short wheel base they are really snappy

He was on SAU QLD but then he got too many people asking for show quality jobs for $500, but when you want to contact him let me know and i will arrange it!

what engine is in it?

335 is the new twin turbo one yeah? They are pretty sick. We saw one on Coro drive when Martin was dropping me off at the train station. People want everything for nothing these days. flamin mongrels...

sif i got enough money for spoon engines..Frankenstein conversions ftw!

Put a vh45dett in the skyline. You know you want to.

what engine is in it?

25 I think.

Sounds good :)

I'll let you know when I have paint job money and get his details :P

335 is the new twin turbo one yeah?

25 I think.

Thats the one! I know a guy who made 245rwkw just by chipping it...nuts, Imagine what it could make with an exhaust, intercooler upgrade, boost up and some form of CAI

If its a RB25 the choice is 3076 .84 and if it a 20 a TD06 20g or a 3071 .63

window seals check with clark rubber..

Do you happen to know product codes?

Front bar fixed now?

mmm 34. Toss up between 34 or M3 as my next car :P

I'll still <3 you if you buy a 34.

I reckon it will be a chaser or an mx5 :)

well he's looking at 13bs, so maybe he's getting ready to buy tight leather pants and start cutting hair

93-98

My year range was safer to confine it to 33s only :P

done ages ago never bothered to pick it up.. lol...

neg just new under body parts..

trying to find those air ducts that 32 33 and i think 34 gtr got... next to the rod ends.. otherwise i will have to fab up some..

the spray painter u guys talking about didnt he do rohans car?

in redcliff or somethign?

Yeah pretty sure it's the same guy.

If its a RB25 the goice is 3076 .84 and if it a 20 a TD06 20g or a 3071 .63

Yeah definitely has some potential. They look nuts with some decent wheels on and lowered a bit as well :P

I'll still <3 you if you buy a 34.

:)

It's a definite possibilty.

Furry muff.

    • 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.
