Morning Mangs,

Martin's school of fixing sh*t, lesson 1:

1. unplug everything.

2. Spray with contact cleaner.

3. Plug everything back in.

4. ???

5. Profit.

The above technique applies to many things: cars, computers, plasma TVs, etc.

Stomped hard on the brakes lots on the way to work, car doesnt seem to be cutting out any more. Also my speedo seems to have come good as well :/.

fark i hate mondays.

how was sundays racing?

Meh, broke sh*t, didn't get many laps in, and got sunburnt. Sh*t happens.

haha nice mang. What do you normally run around there?

64.3ish is my best. I'm sure the car is capable of more, I just haven't been able to string a lap together. This year in particular seems to be conspiring against me.

win

Way more awesome than that is that I did 7 laps, and came 31st overall :blink::P;)

more win

double post win?

double post lose

Anyone notice the severe thunderstorm and hail warning?

pfft, just drove home throught it, its a pissweak storm.

win

more win

That's what she said

Anyone notice the severe thunderstorm and hail warning?

i think they are ignoring you....

seems to have passed though just light rain here

:blink: to all :P

Howdy partners..

Yes I noticed the thunderstorm warning, not a concern for me, being that i'm in Townsville.

McFly, much awesomeness.

anyone know the diameter of 32 GTR standard front pipes? Guy is selling a set on her for $150 but they are twin 63mm pipes into a 75mm collector. Just wondering whether it's worth the trouble. Still $150 is not bad. I think the HKS ones are 70mm to 80 or 85mm collector.

was pretty heavy at 3. I could see about 4 feet.

didn't even know there was a storm. spent all day in the office. was kinda surprised when i saw it was wet outside when i finished at 5

2.5inch twins into 2.95inch

VS.

2.75inch twins into 3.15inch (or 3.35inch)

Consider that they need to flow enough for 1.3ltrs each. Or to break it down further, only enough power for up to 150kw each. Easily doable with 2.5" crush bent exhaust, I made 170kw atw in my old 626 wagon with 2.5" crush bent system.

What size cat and exhaust are you running? 3"?

Compliance cat and 3inch catback. I think I'll grab em. Low ball ftw.

Morning Mangs,

Futsal was a great success even though we lost :wub: Tristan and Dan dogged us so we only had 5 players. We ended up losing 8 - 7 but it could of gone either way at the end. I scored 4 :)

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
