Hi fellas,

Due to the recent heatwave, beaches all around Australia are packed even after midnight. I was at Williamstown beach this morning at 1am and it was very much packed right up to like 2:30am. Quite a lively turn out and the atmosphere was great.

A few mates of mine from other imports forums are organising a bit of a turnout meet up tonight at Williamstown beach at 10pm onwards. If anyone is interested and wants to chill out there - please feel free to come and meet up at the carpark area near the rocks at 10pm.

I know for sure that there will be a huge turn out from some of Victoria's other Import forums, e.g. Silvias, Z's and Supras etc. It should be a lively one tonight.

Just a courtesy warning that there will be cops present but they are actually very nice and supportive. If you drive slow and do not do any stupid hooning activity - I don't think they would want to ruin the night for anyone.

See you all there...would love to see more Skylines. If you see a black R33 Vspec GTR there tonight, that'll be me - please come and say hi...I'm bringing down a couple of crownies with some mates. Tonight is the last of the heatwaves for the remainder of the week...so that's enjoy it somewhat at the beach fellas!

See you all there!

Ha ha ha...very funny...nupe, no more ranting from me as it's all out...I've already written to local authority about the saga of late last year so now it's the new year and my GTR is ride to be taken out on the town...

My GTR is stock as a freaken rock so there is nothing they can do me for and I drive 5km's under the speed limit. Not going to drink much, maybe 2-3 cans of beer and that's it...

It will be nice...see you all there...just so that we're all clear...it's the carpark at the beach location near the life saving club by the rocks NOT near the shops on the bendy road leading to the beach with all those speedhumps.

So far myself and 5 of my GTR mates will be coming and I know a few of you are too plus there will be a massive turn out by other import clubs too...it's going to really nice...we've all made sure that it'll be a friendly, relaxing and sociable event so there is no problems.

If you see a black VSPEC GTR with no GTR badges and absolutely no stickers - that's me yo!

See you all there...cannot wait!

Might see you there spunky :)

Cool mate...just make sure you go to the right location (see my previous post)...you won't miss it...heaps of Skylines out tonight.

lol mates from work were talking about going tonight but being still holidays, means a fair bit of cars out which also means the boys may be out in force around the beach area also but after last night they aint going tonight.

guys from work went to edithvale last night. 5 cars went 3 came back defected. all stock performance wsie but they have handling mods. S15 got done for too low (was only 1 mm under the 100mm law), WRX got done for no splash guard (which is a silly defect) and the other got done for bald tires which was fair defect and he took it

so ye keep your heads up :)

and rember if you get stuck in a rip swim parallel to the beach LOL

    • @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.
