HA!

it was that time...and no im not going dirt tracks.

Poor form :)

Also loling at the irony behind NS running like shit. Their new servers are just like an SR, runs ok for a bit then when it cops a bit of abuse it breaks a rocker arm or something and goes offline for a while :D

Surely the site pays the bills for him! What has become of the Project Car? Havent seen or heard of it in ages.

He moved to QLD so that is why you wouldn't have seen it around SA for a while. It was up for sale ~12 months ago as well, so if you have a spare $35K it can be yours.

And lets face it most of us would move to QLD is we had the chance, i'd move there just for the mod plate laws.

Loz was getting too greedy I think.

Tried to expand it to Hardtuned, Toyotatuned, Aidstuned, etc. That all failed.

Then, upgraded the site to something stupid. That also failed.

Then went on a holiday, changed commitments, etc.

f**k being a sponsor on that site!

And lets face it most of use would move to QLD is we had the chance, i'd move there just for the mod plate laws.

To be honest, as someone who's lived in QLD for 4 years (and in Sydney & Melbourne for about 3-4 years each), I prefer Adelaide over Brisbane...

Though I do hate (in comparison to the other states):

* The sheer number of police, red-light/speed cameras, and the attitude of the law to import-owners

* The abysmal lack of a proper road system here (where are the multi-lane highways, speed limits over 60 - and wtf, 40 zones in lots of residential areas?!)

* The amazing number of drivers who refuse to pull out into an intersection when they're turning across traffic - grrrr ..

* The road signs that are either badly placed or 50m back from an intersection so when you get there you don't know what intersection it is

* None of the food or grocery shops are really open past 9pm weekdays or weekends past 5pm? Forget about it! (gah, there's 24 hour coles in backwards places like Geelong for crying out loud..)

Hmmmm .. think that's about it for now .. lol .. Don't get me wrong, I still really like the place - no plans to move :D

Silly me, driving to Sturt police station for them to fill out a stat dec. Should have remembered that i have a spool.. and with it chirping away in their very small carpark..can be quite annoying, especially if there is a community watch program finishing up with 3 policeman, and about 10 or so old folk..

Got told to change it before things get more serious with them.

and that was my exciting night.

LOL

now i bet u wish u swapped the single pegger with mowbuss eh

dOEA ANY ONE (fek) know what i can do with teh gas tank in the 31?

its coming out saturday and i dont really wanna have it lying round, specially with this heat we are bout to have.

will scrap yards take it?

go to an LPG installer, they'll take it off you

replace skank, with freaking hot.

and i didnt feel like driving out to Parafield Gardens, and it was yeah...that special time.

However i will redeem myself hopefully this weekend.

and jack, i would put up a pic, but yeah..mods will go nuts.

this be the one that i had to slap u round the head numerous times on sunday for NOT tapping?

We had a minute silence today. It was all properly done as i was in the defence force recruitment offices since 8am today.

I wanted to be a pilot, got told no. FARRRK!

so they offered me to be a marine technician on those submarines.. might do it.

*cough* combat engineer *cough*

marine tech, what, you wanna actually come out of the closet now?

LOL

Pretty sure I just had a crack at the amount of times one could use the word 'fuck' in properly constructed sentences :)

Fking put like 10 of my favourite songs at the mo on d/l and went out into the bullshit hot sun to piss fart around and waste time till they're done. Hrs worth of work outside later I'm sweating like a priest in a pre-school so go to check my songs and they're done - fucking sweet now to open the folder they d/led to and crank em up...

Wait a minute, where the fuck are my beats? Check every folder I can think of that I set them to d/l to - nothing. Re-check and search the whole computer for any file with the song title in it - nothing. Re-download a few of them after resetting the folder they save to. 30 minutes later they're done so I look in the folder I set them to - nothing fucking there :thumbsup:

Now I've come to the conclusion the program I was using McFucked and I can't get the songs I want. Hell devo :P

thank you, that what the answer i was after my friend....

gonna be a cun of a day for it on sat :thumbsup: 40 deg + ranga +1 doing this for teh first time = 1 possible angry muthapucker.

HA! never swapping open for locked.

I do have the option of a combat engineer...although i have no idea what that particular role actually is.

    • 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.  
    • 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.
