and for the rest of the thread:

Happy birthday Josh and Tristan

I'd probably go along to wherever you're playing football to watch/socialise/eat food while you all run around.

Good luck with the roadworthy ravi. Bring it to BR so we can check it out. And bring some bitches for Martin. There's only so long he can watch through the window before they get a restraining order.

get your tractor fixed thristian?

Yeah I reckon somewhere northside but closish to the center of town is your best bet for footy

yeh mate got it all sorted - gasket fitted, front pipe replaced :) - the jap front pipe fits sooo much better than the cheapo china one that was in it

Martin these are the wheels I have at home. They came off my 33 when I bought it. No idea on offsets but I'm pretty sure they are 8.5 wide. Are these the same ones you were talking about last night?

edit: mine are 17s aswell. the ones in the pic are 16s

zomg sell/give me a pair?

Happy birthday Tristo...

The laser's having a roady done today so fingers crossed hahaha!

thanks sexy

excited for car trips next week?

so, when we're playing with pipes :D

pipe work is done - i think i want twin pipes, im 90mm under the car, but the cannon puts it at 70mm - twin pipes would fix that and look uber lolzz

Yeah happy birthday Tristan!

And happy birthday for yesterday for Nismoh!

<3 :ermm:

Yeah forgot about that. Happy birthday Josh n Tristan ;)

i wnat to touch you

Well it phailed miserably. Got a list to look at, usual crap like brakes, seals (oil leaks etc), one tyre blah blah blah... most of it I should be able to do myself, but rear main seal? Really??? Never taken a box off before, but I'm willing to try... opinions anyone?

Also front and rear link pins? Don't even know what they are lol

That's what she said

gearbox rear main seal? f**k man - front wheel drive boxes are a joke

replace the tyres and brake pads, and degreze the engine bay then call me :)

no idea wtf link pins are :ermm:

no idea wtf link pins are :)

I had link pin suspension on the front of my '73 bug. The '67 had link pin front and rear.

That's probably what they're talking about.

this is what the front of my bugs used to have:

Does the TRD Laser have something similar?

I wish!! f**k I want a dune buggy now!!

So I found out it was the link pin bushes (ends of the swaybars) and a kit for the front or rear is like $20... so I have one and will attempt it this weekend, should be a piece of piss.

Got the brakes too and all the other little things like the clutch rubber thing, nice solid battery clamp wah wah wah.

And yeah I'm gonna degrease the underside around the rear main seal, but the front crank seal + belts, idler blah blah are all gonna get swapped anew when I get some spare cash in a week or two, and that should see me pass roadworthy as the front crank seal + cam seal were the worst offenders for oil leaks. No so keen on doing it myself.

you REALLY want to run spacers on a track car? :)

Yes, hub centric bolt ons a perfectly safe. In fact, CAMS rules state you can have 1 spacer behind each wheel.

Just queensland transport that are gay

well sweet as then :) let's go put some cars up on bricks :)

dude hit the engine with degreaser and the next day take it back, or take it to a different place :)

Yeah I could do that, but at the same time this car will keep going forever after a bit of TLC, so I might as well do it right the first time.

That's so unlike me, I'm always about the quick fix, just get it good enough.... what the f**k's going on!!

    • @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.
