Thought i'd take my kids out to see all the cool cars today. Rocked up pretty late and had a quick look around. Only took a few pics as I was worried about the kids touching everyones cars, lol.

Was an awesome day!

A few mates had their cars in too which was good.

Stand out for me HAD to be the VSpec GTR 34...which was apparently too nice to put on the track, so he bought an EVO for that haha nice work.

Even cars parked on the road to see the event were nice to look at.

Coppers didnt seem to bad too. Apparently some were giving advice on how to have them engineered to ADR Standards, and just telling people what they would be defected for on the roads.

Didn't hear any stoies of defects being handed out or a trap set up nearby...anyone get done?

I've heard that they've issued notices by letter after the even though. Not sure if this is a myth :-S

But seemed like a successful day!

Yeah I spoke to that owner too, what a wanker!

The cruise to the event and back home was nearly as much fun as the event itself! I'll post something more sensible later when I've recovered from my dehydration...

:P Yeah, it was pretty fun :down:

Nightcrawler, are you running full Ti exhausts on the V35 or just Ti tips or just heated Ti look? Either way they look great on the V35

Edited by Weezy

Thanks Weezy - yes as Heslo said they are just heated tips. It was my number 1 'to do' item when I got the car. I was going to buy some Ti tips to put over the stock pipes, but found this axle-back stainless exhaust with them on already, so on it went! I love the look too.

Will tie in well when I put my LMGT4 wheels on (later this week) with titanium burnt nuts - should look sweet.

Then when I buy and put on some Brembo calipers/rotors the look will be pretty much complete.

Titanium burnt nuts? Sounds painful...

:down: I love the avatar

Yeah me too .... wish I had a photo of Glen's face when he realised Domo was gone - THAT would make avatar of the century. Or a photo of his face when he caught me drawing a dick and balls on his Miata headlight would have been classic too. :blink:

Yes, true Kristian - now I think about I shouldn't be so glad about having Titanium burnt nuts :)

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • 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.
