standard bulbs are in :D

Wonder if the cop shop is open tomorrow?

@thrustion, all good bro, just thought I'd ask <3

<3 all good mang

reckon I can get out of my defect/fine because he wrote the body type as 'SEDAN' when it's actually a coupe? :cool:

lol! cant believe you got defected

and i totally agree - your HIDs owned my stock bulbs in the hills - keen to have another go man once im all tuned up - and i have new bulbs :D

around a week or so bro!

*touch wood*

@ Dan_B:

I sent ERD Dan a message asking about the filter for the 4WD system. If I can get one do you reckon we can fit in a flush/clean/top up on car day?

@ Colin & Martin:

Continuing on from Thursday's discussion. After reading through some more threads I've decided I will keep the 20, and aim for 300HP (all wheel, and not Brandon spec). Then if I wind up buying a Z32 I might convert the Fo' to 25 or bigger. Will this stop you having nightmares about VGs?

@ Andy:

What was the name of that RB management system that you were raving about a while ago that allows you to run without AFMs? Could I use it on my 20? And will it handle what I just said to Colin & Martin?

@ Tristan:

The bulbs that were in Katy when you first got here weren't stock were they? The purpley ones? What have you got in there now? I was wondering if they were the same lights I used to use in the Capri. I had some really good ones, if they're the same (got a pic of the back?) I'll dig out the old box and let you know what they were.

P.S. Can I come for fun drives too? <3

P.P.S. Can't beleive you dogged Michelle :P

@ Jason:

I knew you'd cry if I didn't address you personally, so hey mang *tips hat*

@ Geoff:

hey geoff!

:(

@ everyone else:

What's crackin' mangs?

It's 0530 and I'm so effing bored... Gotta go to Ipswich today to get my new squeaky toys :(

yeah figured as much

you can't see a f*cking thing with standard bulbs. THEY should be illegal, and HIDs should be compulsory

Yeah standard ones are shit compared to HIDs.

I can see just fine with mine :(

Colin's are good too...

Mine are good compared to driving with parkers on. That's about it lol.

<3 all good mang

Will probably get rid of my night terrors yes.

Next week, say mid week?

German club dinner and beers?

Someone make it happen

Interesting proposal. Make Tuesday midweek because I'll be in Brisbane already.

Good morning!

Moaning

300HP out of the 20 should be pretty easy. Will only stop my nightmares if I don't ever have to do any work on the Z32.

Vipecs are good. Can't remember what system Andy was going on about, but I think it was more for SRs than RBs.

yo

i got rid of my original lights (inc bulbs.) when i bought the blue ones

the bulbs in the original ones were those bluey ones they sell at repco for stupid expensive prices (for what they are)

my new bulbs are 100w ones (stock is 60w) - they are sexy, overnight parts from hongkong lol

@p.s. - yeh sure

@p.p.s. - yeeh had to dog - needed to pick up copper nut, and that involved a trip to manly lol

Defect cleared :(

And I fixed my rattle gun :(

Cop that cleared it was almost as much of a douche as the guy that booked me. Complained because all 4 bulbs weren't on for low beam (wtf? High beam bulbs should be on for low beam?) and said the headlights weren't standard. Eventually cleared it but.

Now to waste half an afternoon putting my wheels back on and HIDs back in :P

Edited by Smity42

:rofl:

Good afternoon mangs.

I do reply, I just have to notice it first! There are too many pages to read each night after work :P

Congrats on getting the defect cleared.

now for a nice long weekend of SFA :P

^^^^ :rofl:

WELL I JUST WENT INTO TRADE TOOLS AND NOW IM IN LOVE :P

    • 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. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
