It was gone when I came home by the same route at about 7pm.

Im from Blue mountains too (faulco) seen many skylines around here in the mountains?? ive seen a white33 with red flame decals in blaxland, some older guy that drives a nice 34 through Springwood and the odd one here and there, Ive only had mine for 2 months but its a white r33 f&r bodykit with painted gold rims(theyre horrible will hopefully fix soon).

I'm from up the top - Blackheath. Believe it or not there's a few in these parts. An R33s2 GTS-T that seems to be owned by a young woman (who never waves...). Steve Phillips, who runs Steve's Auto Barn up here, owns an R34 GTR that he's very, very proud of. I'd recommend him if you'e looking for a Skyline-savvy garage bloke in the Mountains. And there's a White R33 that reputedly hangs out around the tyre place on Main St in Katoomba. Also, some bloke up here bought a pretty crook R33s2 from someone on this forum, I believe, which has been in and out of Steve's like a yo-yo.

I've seen that loud-looking R33 GTR with the carbon-fibre bonnet and all the flames. Very Need for Speed, if you like that kind of thing.

I'll look out for you. Mine's a pretty much stock R33s1 GTS-T. White, stock rims, nothing fancy. Goes very nicely, though. I'd watch out for the cops on the highway at night. They seem bored and like to hang around behind you, waiting for you to make a mistake...

Spotted Ando on Pennant Hills Road tonight, but he was SOFT and didn't even come up to Berowra for the meet before the Coastie Cruise...

Shame on you, dude! :(

Thanks heaps for the advice, ill keep steve's in mind next time i have a problem (fingers crossed not for a while).

Your right about the cops, i was driving back from the lappo one night and one of the pajero 4wd cop car things was infront of me, went about 200m, he pulls over and lets me go pass then pulls in straight behind tailgates me for bout 1km then gives up and pulls off, then within 30 seconds a highway patrol car pulls in behind me from a backstreet and tails me for about 2km then gave up when i didnt do anything wrong and just sped off. Im surprised i havent been pulled over yet i don't have a number plate ligth on the back, and a 3.5 exhaust which is pretty loud (kind of annoying actually :whistling:).

Ill keep an eye out for you

The exhaust could become an issue...

I was tailgated by the cops for about 10 mins one night. Fortunately I guessed somehow that's who they were. (Nothing but a bright light in the rear-vision mirror.)

Take care.

    • 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. 
    • 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.
