Yeah wherever mate, personally I prefer a carpark (fark this is starting to sound dodgy), so I can recognise you by your car as opposed to looking like a tool on a blind date inside a pub lol. PM'd.

Birds - meeting in a car park is fine... i live in Murrumbeena. not sure where you are, but we can meet in the train station carpark at Murrumbeena on the citybound side of the tracks if that's on your way. otherwise we can meet at the pub beforehand.

i can't send you or anyone else a "PM" right now - get an error saying i haven't posted enough yet! my email is [email protected]

Since I just bought a Skyline, I'd love to come but....

What time will the meeting finish? I've got class until 9 pm

but it's not far from the Bells hotel so hopefully I can make

it. Turn up a bit late hope you guys don't mind.

NOTE

This meeting will be held as an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) as we will be electing a new Secretary to come onto Committee.

Current nominations can be found here - Click Here

I urge all current members to come along and have a vote.

Food, Beer, Talks, People, Cars, Beer and laughs!

These social meetings are divided into two parts, the first if your hungry is a meal from the bistro and a chance to have a chat with other members then the second is a short informal meeting.

We use these meetings to give quick rundowns on past events with video's, pictures and stories etc, to address pressing matters, tell members what's happening behind the scenes and for discussion on upcoming events. It's all pretty relaxed and fun. This is a great opportunity for those of you who don't know too many members to come down and mix as new faces are always welcomed.

Time - 8.00pm (Dinner from 7.00pmish)

Date - Tuesday 18 August 2009

Location - Bell's Hotel, 157 Moray St, South Melbourne (Cnr Moray St & Coventry

St Melways Ref - 57, G1)

Note - This Pub is family friendly with an area set aside for us. There is plenty of seating (tables and chairs) and meals for all.

Who is welcome - Everyone!

MERCHANDISE

- ALL Merchandise will be available for sale at this meeting. Come see me. SAU Polo Shirts (both colours in all sizes) - get yours now for summer.

NOTE - If you are interested in purchasing a hoody at this meeting, you MUST let me know in this thread or by PM in advance. If noone lets me know they would like to purchase one, then I will not bring them along to this meeting.

Hope to see you all there.

:P

Just a reminder guys that this meeting is tonight.

And it would be great to see as many members there as possible. Because it is a EGM.

See ya there.. :D

I think I'll come to this one,

I would've came along ages ago if I realized where it is.

Its like 5 min from my work :cool:

Yeah, i was gonna go, but gotta pick up the woman from work at 9.... might try and come for 45mins though...

    • @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.
