i am working today :angry:

Hey Dan, do you have those black door lock surrounds for me?

Also looking for some of those little U shaped brackets that hold the brake lines in. Got any spares? I have lost all of mine somehow...

Fail start to the day. Coppers pull me over for the usual bullshit "This is a RBT... Oh wait, you drive a Skyline, let's have a look under the bonnet"

Spend time arguing that my exhaust and FMIC are legal and don't require a mod plate and then they whack me with driving an unregistered vehicle. Rego expired on Friday, no one to blame but me for that one however. Car is off the road until I can get to Qld Transport and who knows when that will be with work the way it is.

Duuuude!!!, you paid it on Wednesday. You didn't know you had to carry the receipt in the car with you. Their system doesn't update for 2 weeks so they can't disprove it and have to give you the benefit of the doubt.

got them dave, they are here at château smity. I might not be around if you drop in sometime to pick them up but im sure kyle will be here, will let him know where i dropped them

When the offence for lying is much worse that what your lying to get out of, its probably not worth the risk. Least that's been my experience.

Thanks Dan, picked them up. Legend.

mmmm whale watching was a great success. Excellent start to the day :D

Was a good morning colin, you missed out on alot of fun.

Whale WWatching WWWINZZZ

In a meeting

Super bored.

On a good note, car is loving the cold evenings. Looking forward to the drag day

Will have to book it in with Dan to get the rear wheel bearings replaced before then and maybe sort out the catch can...

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • 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.
