He hasn't been back at my place since, and haven't heard anything, so am hoping that's the end of the matter.

thats the going rate. I will have one here tomorrow night if you do no good there. Mint. (hate that word)

My guess would be a light automotive course. Seems like every new apprentice we get these days is a knuckle dragger too lazy to do a decent days work

Ok so i went to my local tyre shop this arvo. Question to y'all does anyone want new rims?

I can get 2 sets:

Work Meister S1

18x8 +35 / 18x10 +22

Polish Silver Finish 2 peice

Offers around $2500-$3000

Work Emotion XD9

18x9 +30 / 18x10 +22

Magnesium Finish

Offers around $1500 - $2000

They are brand new in box never had tyres fitted, all 5x114.3 and all legit. If you want them PM me and i'll put you in touch with them

Far out those XD9's are cheap. Tempting.

make an offer miso, he wants them gone.

If i had a complete 5 stud conversion ready for my 31 i would be buying those Meisters.

Meisters do kick ass >_<

What is it your doing at tafe..

got it in one >_<

This is a new one :S

fitted 20mm spacers (very good quality ones from japan) and long wheel studs for the spacers to eliminate the bolt on studs.
So you are using bolt-on spacers as slip-ons?
they are bolt on, i have removed the bolt on bolts to allow the long wheel studs to go through instead, plus i heard that is a lot safer
lol thats not safer at all
i got told it was safer by a wheel shop to run spacers like this, so there is less stress on the indside wheel studs on the spacers. they advised me that they wont snap like this.
The wheel shop in question must be a bunch of incompetent twats.

Final quote was me >_<

quoting is where its at col.....

although i hear its better to only run 2 studs with spacers to reduce the stress...

geoff you know you want to buy sweet rims...

Sweet rims indeed. But no, not interested today, sorry. I'm happy with the ones I've got (not got the spare cash and theres more important things to do to mine first anyhow).

John's day at school

I went to an Epson training day a few weeks ago which pretty much entailed of me doing everything really really quickly so I could get the f**k out of there before someone would ask me where I work and then proceed to tell me how much better their job is than mine for the eleventy millionth time.

On a side note, checked all the hoses tonight on the skyrice, I didn't have enough light but I could hear a slight psssss sound, so I'm going to replace the hoses from the boost controller + bov.

Oh, and John if the series 1 afm pwnd had will work on a series 2, I'll come and pick it up from you on friday or saturday if that's cool.

Tell Andrew that if he wants someone who actually wants to do the work, and actually wants to learn, that I'll still come work for him. The course is done in 4 weeks :(

PSSSSSSS noises aren't good in.... See if you can get a leak tester :D

As far as I'm aware - series 1 is green, series 2 is pink. I only say this because when I was looking for one I got told a green label from a series 1 25 would work on my 20. *shrug* Best bet is if Miso can bring it along, I'll just grab it and we'll try and see what happens.

Jason has some spare coil packs for a 25 now that I think of it. Maybe he'll let you borrow them to trouble shoot further if the AFM isn't the problem. You'll have to ask reallll nice like though :(

Noel, your car is Mint.

@John: Lol

Alvin ROOLZ

I can do better in the wheel department.

Howbout a set of brand new nismo lmgt4's in 9.5x18. +30 offset with new tyres for 3500....or...Da bomb...Volk GTC's in black with chrome lip gtr offset +12 9x18 with feddy semis 50% tread mint for 3 kay.

    • 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.
