your car looks cool with my spare wheel lol

hehe!!

your thing is broke. it is what we think - part will take me 3-4days to organise. ready for you to gravb or wander over later and grab the keys off the front counter.

Another week as an unemployed bum begins :)

Stock market makes me :( however, thinkin I might cash it all out an buy something that won't depreciate so badly, like a GT-R :P

Hmmm sounds like a plan.

i cant believe how quiet the last few days have been. i spoke to 2 people yesterday and 1 today, this is going to fustrate me lol

All i seem to be doing is looking at things i want to spend my tax cheque on. BAD move

Chuck it into shares, good time to buy right now i think.As someone said though "chuck it into shares and then don't look at the stock market for at least 6 months"

screw shares, get gold! :P

My Brother in law and I bought gold for around $1000 an ounce in feb 09. Now sitting somewhere around $1600 :).

Though long term shares at this point would work too, and by the time they are turning profit you will have had them long enough to reduce the tax you will pay on them at sale time.

now would be a bad, bad time to cash it in unless you need it to avoid starvation.

what happened at the fox?

I mst have missed the story

pm if you wish, but i need to know these things. i don't get out much, and black ops is just not cutting it anymore

Particularly now that the general instability has gone (well, give it a few weeks for this to blow over) i think you'll find gold is actually a pretty bad option. Though you've done well in the last few years, on average it doesn't seem to go up as much as the share market does, i think.Or something. i'm not a professional.

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @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.
