hey guys

i have stress fractures on my headlights and everywhere iv been to so far wont pass the car because of them (major defect for having HIDs installed so all mechanics are concentrating on the whole headlight for RWC...). i have taken it to a polish place and they said it wont help if the polish it as you will still be able to see the cracks.

any idea where i can get a set from? not really looking at getting new headlights as i have the xenon headlights on my 34 and buying new ones are close to $1k.

or does anyone wanna swap headlights with me so i can roadworthy my car?

ta

i hope everything works out alright, such a pain in the ass! pisses you off when you a comodore with tape holding tape and missing bumpers drive past you and you have to deal with hair line cracks in the head lights yet the commo has no defects lol

oh ye i forgot to add there will be some sort of payment if a swap is arranged.

ye taking it to another place tomrrow. hopefully they ONLY check RWC items

have you already had the first check done and paper work filled out but the first rwc guy? if so be carefull, vic roads are known to want to have a look at cars that have a rwc check done through one place and then go to another and get a full rwc, also since the headlights were on the defect vic roads will look at those when you go to get the defect cleared.

first place only did a "check" and thats all. give me a list to fix before they do a full RWC.

but all good. have found one flaw with vic roads that may work in my favor which means they wont need to see the car :P

try r34 compliance shops, they usually have a "safe" pair they use for the compliance purposes on cars that come with xenons, they then swap em back on after the car is registered.

    • 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.
