I'm thinking of just doing exterior and engine bay. I'm 90% sure it will be ready, I've been told I should get it back tomorrow it's on the dyno as we speak.

Sin it's time to start putting that big build to work! No more 'little turbos' :banana:

OK so its on sunday then. Well this changes everything! I'll most certainly be in town, buuuuuuut most likely too hungover to even contemplate getting out of bed, let alone driving somewhere... what time are we meeting?

Well I've pretty much already got everything for that already so don't worry about bringing anything unless you have any microfiber towels, you can never have enough. Oh and if either you or Shell could bring a second bucket that would be good.

I'll see what I've got but I can certainly pick some up. Do we need more rags and things for engine bays? What's the best thing to use on all that manky dirty shit?

If you need me to bring anything else let me know :)

I'll just pick up a few more when I get everything else tomorrow. As for rags, it depends on how you want to clean your engine bay. If you want to take your sweet time and do it the safest way, buy some rags from bunnings or something but the easier and quicker way is with degreaser and a hose (as opposed to getting it off with degreaser and a rag - It tends to push it around a lot). Your average car detailing place uses pressure hoses but they do it while your car is hot. Not great for your block and turbo. I'll be doing mine and Shell's while our cars are warm and then starting them up to help it dry out. Really up to you.

If you know what you're doing I'm happy to follow your lead!

What time is this all kicking off?

Well, I think we should be right, just know there is a small risk.

I think around 1pm or 2pm. We are going to have to meet up at a car wash to get a few things done (damn water restrictions) first though.

Damn it, i have to work all day Saturday now so im not sure when im going to wash my car I dont want to turn up with a dirty near stock Skyline :P

I'd wash it for you if you had a way of getting it to somewhere with a hose.

Sorry guys I'm out (and too lazy to fix numbers).

Rearranged the maybes to the bottom of the list to make it easier to take them off if they drop out.

    • 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.
