Morning Mangs,

TFIT.

One of my tyres went down (thinking it was the valve) and i didn't know it had come off the back bead. Limped it to the workshop to put air in it and heard and awful scrape... that was the rim buckling. So now I need new rims. Ordered them, but they won't get here till next wek. To add to that I'm being screamed at to get my car out of the workshop. So awesome fun. :down:

That sucks mang :(. How badly buckled, did you look into getting it fixed?

Mine went from this:

To this:

It was only about $120 from memory...

My rims should arrive early next week.

What new rims you getting?

tax man ---> :spank: <--- me

good choice... :D

Hehe, my 5g payment was to pay of the remainder of my HECS as a voluntary payment and get the 10% bonus. So I get an extra $500 in my return for nothing. Rorting the system FTW.

And Chris is right around the corner.

Chris is always right around the corner ;):bunny:

So I sent an email off about my phone. got this reply:

Martin

Thank you for the email,

We have looked into the status of your device with the Samsung service centre. Apologise concerning the delay with the repair of your Samsung Galaxy S II. It appears that the service centre has received the device however they are currently unable to confirm the status of it.

We have provided the service 24 hours to confirm where the device is.

Regards

Sounds like Samsung have f*cking lost it! F*CK! This nightmare keeps getting worse :(.

Why did yours have to go back? I am loving mine.

I loved mine too, until it broke :(. Can't wait to get it back. Or another one back. Whatever, sick of this stupid nokia!

It suddenly stopped picking up signal one day - rendering it pretty much useless.

Spent about 2 weeks dicking around trying to get it fixed in AU, because I didn't want to go through the hassle of sending it to the UK for warranty. NG, had to go to UK.

Sent it to the UK, ~1 week to get there then spent ~2 weeks sitting in customs, until I emailed the courier company to find out WTF was going on. Magically got delivered the next day.

Clove then sent it to samsung for repair the same day, and its been with them around ~2 weeks. So I sent clove an email last night, because I wasn't sure how long samsung usually take with the warranty stuff. Apparantly not normaly this long :(.

FML.

Buckled and cracked. Spoke to some people about it, but apparently it's very hard to fix. They'll probably have to put the centre into a new rim. So they can go in the shed for a while I guess. The new rims seem to be a multi stud. I'm hoping they will also fit a 5x100 pcd so I can keep them when I sell the car and not have wasted my money.

The new rims are ANZ brand.

Ouch... :( probably not worth it with the trispokes then, since the center is welded to the outer.

Pic/link?

    • 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.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
