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

    • 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.
