I has Nistune :)

Should I butcher it myself... or should I let the expert (Scott) handle it?

Have a go. If it don't work just use a bigger hammer :thumbsup:

Any suggestions on what panel filters are good / better / best ?

Dunno, ask Scottaaayyy. For the record though, C.H. is now open again.

Ordered a Nismo wheel for my GT-R today so i never had to look at that disgusting Isotta it came with again.

I like not having crap in cars. Great step in improvement!

I bought a DR/FT one from Autobarns... Works good as.

Anyone have a big car jack i could use for a few days?? Have to change the clutch in the skyline.

I have a heavy duty jack. You can borrow it.

I got one i'll loan you for a 6 pack of Heineken/Lowenbrau/Oettinger.

Yer martin, pretty keen either way to destroy it somehow, blowing one up and shooting one will be good enough, i want to be able to have mine as a show piece on my wall of shame. That B&M shifter in the chev was a dog, seriously i had 2 drunks trying to tell me how to hold up a little lever and move something then have to put the shifter all the way forwards then slam it backwards and that'll be first, then a tray load of drunks telling me to hurry up and a sober(ish) med student tell me how we are all going to die. Then there was the dash full of gauges.......

Oh as for nistune, let scott stuff it up so you got someone to blame for your problems if it all goes wrong.

Also in news, in less then 2 weeks time i am offically the main lotus technician in brisbane, i have training this year in sydney for the new models.

I'm awesome at fixing american pickup trucks with dodgy electronics, just don't fit a dodgy B&M shifter i can only find reverse when i want drive and 3rd when i want reverse

This pleases me...... and it's ok, I don't even know what shifter you're talking about hahahaha

From a cost effective point of view you'd be better of buying a VW van or something. F100 parts would be hard to source I'd imagine. It would be sick though. Mind you, I used to bum around in an old liberty wagon with a drumkit in the back, two guitars, a bass and two 50w amps. It was cramped, but it worked

I DO love the sound of those old v dubs.... but I also love the sound of a V8 hahahahaha

F-truck parts are easy to come by, theres lots of them on the road and most of the parts aren't anything special

Excellent...... congrats on the head lotus thing!

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm head lotus

Morning all

Jason you might wanna be careful posting stuff like that on a public forum

Edited by mosquitocoils

What chev was it in? Driving one with a t56 box in it (six speed I think) you have to push it back and forward again to get into reverse. I didnt know that and just slammed that shit into gear.

What size do you need? how high?

    • 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.
