any takers? i'll only consider going if there is 'critical mass' of V35s of say 4...

Laughed at? Nooooo...variety is the spice of life! :)

By the way, thanks for the invite Kamil!!!

No worries, will be good to get the VQ-franternity a little closer together.

I'll be there, perfect time for me actually, any earlier and it would be difficult. It helps that it is around the corner from home :D

Any other V coming??? Or am I left to represent us all??? That's a lot of pressure, we are a good bunch!!!

Hey guys,

The meet was great, but not many of us there. There were 4 350Z's one Lotus Elise and my V.

I have some pics that the missus got someone to take of her with all the cars, hahahaha I'll post them up soon.

It was good to meet some of the 350Z guys, they were a bunch of good people. Kamil's black 350 is really nice!

Also the place, Garage Cafe, was all that I was expecting it to be, never being there before. Nice food and very reasonably priced. As usual I got quizzed by some of the other crowd there, "what car is that????" "Oh yeah, I thought it looked like a Nissan but I wasn't sure!!!" The V got the most attention there hahahaha.

The owner of Garage Cafe was really nice too, having only just met me an hour or so earlier, he let me sit in his white S5 Audi and perv on it inside out, engine, etc. Gorgeous car. However I was very surprised when he told me that from factory, the S5 (V8) makes out around 160kw on all four wheels. I told him I dynoed mine and it put out 169.9rwkw with no mods, but of course, his Audi is 4 wheel drive.

All in all, a good chance to relax for a couple of hours during a week night.

Thanks Kamil.....as I mentioned to you on Wednesday night you (and the rest of the guys) are welcome to attend our V35 meet on the 5th of December.

There is a thread about it here in the forum!!!

    • 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.
