Morning Mangs,

Monday :(

On the bright side though... 2 day week! :D

how??

I have tommorrow and wed off (sort of) would love to know how you score a 5 days off..

heaps winning. Strayan as f*ck.

nah. What you needed to do was go "well now that you've given me those 2 days off for a 5 day weekend i'm hardly likely to turn up on monday and tuesday, so why don't you give me those off too"

Unfortunately, I've got a workshop to go to next week :(

T minus 4 hours and counting

similar setup here. last day of the week. tons of work....

is there noticeable improvements in ride with hubcentric rings? getting some longer wheel studs from gktech and wondering whether I should get some to go with my wheels and spacers?

you should, but 10mm slip ons are thicker than the hubcentric rings so they probably won't do anything.

What you really should do is get custom spacers made that match the hub center bore on the inside and the wheel center bore on the outside, then no need for rings!

what you should do is get the right offset wheels. Failing that you can buy hubcentric spacers.

it's not the offset of the wheel that's the issue, it's the fact that one sits flush with the guard where the other noticeably sits about 10mm in, and it's giving me the shits.

will google hubcentric spacers

but in general, are hub centric rings recommended on aftermarket wheels?

Heard that misso, It is very common with skylines. I dont think I have seen them the same yet.

ARC are a bunch of smart cookies. Their sidemounts bolt in just fine... its just when you go put the wheel arch lining on that stuff starts to get distorted. But still, its bolt on :P

Nothing to serious though, it can easily be secured by the bolts/attachers that do fit, and zip ties to do the rest, so its not going anywhere, but just a bit floppy.

There isn't. Maybe the kit came with a new lining when new? It only needs to go back 5-10mm. Like i said, the standard one fits over it with a little bending meaning osme of the other mounting poitns are out.

and don't get me wrong, i'm stoked with the cooler itself.

    • @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.
