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 :)

    • 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.
