Annoying thing is I've desoldered heaps of ICs before just using my soldering iron and a solder sucker... this one's just being a right prick for some reason.

I too, have desoldered many before but I can tell you now, if you sit there with the solder iron on it for too long, whe nyou go to lift it, you will pull the track up with it. The ONLY way you should do it is with a heat gun or cut the pins, then manually extract each one with a bit of heat from the solder iron and a pair of pliers. I hope it's not too late

Yeah I know. I don't think that will happen but I did get a little bit drunk and then a little bit angry...

If I have f*cked any of it a little circuit repair shouldnt be a problem. Unless the PCB is multilayer, which I don't think it is? (Two sided is OK, just as long as there are no middle layers)

Fark! Keen! It'd probably take me 6!

Would take me all weekend. Guaranteed. There might only be 3.5 hours work in that, but it would take all weekend to get done :P.

Hopefully I'll be able to save it! haha

They are a double sided non multi-layer board. I already had to make a repair on one of the fine tracks, not sure if you saw it. If you can get it to me before Thursday, I can get it back to you on Thursday. If not, it would be Sunday at the earliest as I'm in Melb for TopGear Live on Sat.

Let me know ;-)

Big boy

Woohoo! Got the card in the mail for my turzbro. Will have it in my hands

Hopefully I'll be able to save it! haha

I have faith :thumbsup:

Short of driving out to you right now (and I really CBF) thursday will be the earliest I can get it to you.

Sunday would be grand, but if you can't manage it no big deal :).

You know that TGL came to brisbane right? You didn't need to go to melbourne to see it :P

Big boy

Thanks Babe.

Today was international women's day. I didn't get given a single sandwich! What the hell did we give them their own day for if they can't even thank us for it with sandwiches?!

lol

Morning Mangs,

^^^Forgot to finish that sentance, awesome. Still makes for a good 'thats what she said'.

WHat I meant to say is I will have it in my hands this afternoon :)

Had a GG of cricket last night, Made 20* off 10 balls, and my 2 overs were 3/-2. We took full points for the game but the team above us also won, so we didn't make the finals :(. I think they are going to run a second set of finals though for all the teams that didn't make the real ones...

Anyone know what's involved in switching from 3 to Telstra when my contract expires (soon :)) and keeping my current number?

Go into a Fone Zone, not a Telstra shop.

Hand them the phone and say make it work on Telstra networks

Also going to visit Dan today for a service.

That's what she said.

Why Fone Zone over Telstra shop?

My phone won't work on telstra network :(, I'll need a new phone.

Oh and I believe it's filling day today. Can only see 1/10th of my desk.

Sucks to be you.

Walk into a Telstra Shop.

"Hi, I'm currently a customer with 3 and I'm sick of their shitty service. I want to switch carrier to you guys but keep my current number, what can you do for me?"

Watch them fall over themselves trying to get you to switch.

I did this when the iPhone 4 came out. I had been a business customer with Optus for 7 years and they told me it would be a two month wait for the iPhone as my contract had 6 months to go at that point. I walked into Telstra and they had a phone in my hand, doubled the data allowance for the plan at no cost, paid my early exit fee from Optus and paid the transfer fee for the number and had it all done in less than 30 minutes. Two month waiting because of contract reasons is not how you treat a customer who has been with you for 7 years. My entire family pulled their contracts and went to Telstra as well for more or less the same reasons with similar results.

Sounds good. Do I have to do anything with 3 then to cancel my service or will the telstra mugs handle it all?

Keen for double data allowance :)

    • 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.
