I was looking in my mirror and noticed the headlights first. Very shiny Shonen. MY car is as dirty as it's ever been at the moment. I was going to wash it ont the weekend but my friend died and I didn't feel like it for some strange reason.

Does your mate always insanely giggle like that? :D

Yeah thanks Moanie, we went down to the spot where he landed last night and had a sort of vigil. That's where I was going when Shonen saw me. I think it's really helpful to talk about the good times. It's always the best people too. I don't get it.

Its definitely good to reminisce! better to remember the good times, and i think it helps to cope with everything that happens after.... :D hehehe...its actually pretty funny the amount of stories and dirt you can dig up :) especially stuff you never knew they did!!! :)

Spotted:

Duncan in the Z mobile, enjoying some lah-de-da 'top down motoring' on liverpool st, crossing george st.

And he didn't even stop and offer me a lift!!! The cheek!

BTW, what happened this morning, you were early (9:05)...

lol

I think we should car-pool.

Richard

hahaha sounds like we both need to leave home earlier in the mornings lol

hoping to spot a whole heap of skylines in goulburn this weekend.....

mmm trackday...

Yeah, next time I'm staying at Leichardt I'll need to get you to swing by. I'll be on the cnr of Norton st + Parra rd. at 9am. Think you'll have to leave the missus to catch the bus though, Z's only got two seats, right?

Richard

I work for the government, for me leaving my g/f's place at 9am is painfully early!!

I still can't believe I've spotted you twice now in like a week... Stop stalking me.

Richard

haha yeah sorry moanie.......i was sort of in a hurry but yeah i remembered your plate so i knew it was you...

hey abo_bob sorry to hear about your friend.......

nah both the guys in my car......they were just laughing at the fact that we didnt know each other and were talking.....

i guess its a car thing....a skyline thing...i dont know !! hehe

but they just found it funny.

haha yeah black always looks shiny at night...but my car was pretty dirty that night.

:D

    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.

    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.
