My reply is burried in the quote. Damn iPhones

your car is the worst to try an become a drift car

can buy a cheap 32 taxt for like $5-6k rwd manual turbo

u bought it for less than that! Cars don't equal profit

exactly

I love the paranoia people get when they own a Skyline. It's like they need to make their car something bad-ass and 'underground' in their head.

I never ONCE got pulled over and I drove my car day in day out for 3-4 years.

that thing was loud to lol :P

agree

ive only been pulled over and hassled twice - had my

once for bald tyres fair enough

other was through a bretho and fair enough loud exhaust

otherwise fine, driving near cops or next to cops etc

Loll attention grabber.

Did anyone get a pm re the nationals??

Hiya Mohsen,

You may want to change your signature from 2011 Skyline Nationals to 2011 SAU Nationals.

Skyline Nationals is a registered incorporation, and also a web domain owned by another person. You are infringing on the incorporations act by using the name "Skyline Nationals"

Cheers

Incorporations Act? When you find that, let me know, i'll show you my collection of rocking horse shit

agree

Word. Had mine for about half a year on Ps too, went through a couple booze bus setups and they didn't say a word, just checked my P plates were up and that's it

Only 4 door 32 ive ever liked was Nick's old car. Thing was neat and subtle.

As for getting pulled over, wrong place/time you'll always get done, doesn't matter how you drive. Having a black, white, silver etc car also helps cos it doesn't catch the copper's eye as much as something like bright red...

on my p's got pulled over like 30 times current car doesnt get driven enough but been pulled over once got 1 defect i dont agree its "how you drive" depends how stock your car looks

I disagree, my car didn't look stock at all.

I think it's WHERE you drive/hang around

My car was modded (and looked modded) was loud and I didn't mind giving it a squirt on the street...Obviously if a cop happened to see me give it a squirt the chance of me gettin pulled over is gonna increase a fair bit, but apart from that, I rekin majority of it is WHERE you hang out/drive

Dezz was in your hood yesterday, Hoppers? worst roads i've ever driven on. makes the ring road feel smooth as f**k

lol yeah they're f**ked...the ones around my house are like they poured the asphalt and tar on the ocean..

it's good having a beater car that just bounces over it all without a problem...

If I drive in the same direction as a cop I will get pulled over. No doubt about it. I don't give a suit anymore Neways because I know they are too dumb to find any mods/defects :)

Your car looked liked a stock black series 2 with wheels and a zort. Looked nice but does look "stock" to most people

your car looked clean but looked stock really, i use to get pulled over everywhere/anywhere williamstown, newport (50 meters from home), altona, chapel street everywhere it didnt matter. Was just sitting in a parking lot a few times and still got the treatment

SMG hydraulic pump ~5K to replace

SMG clutch ~4K to replace

SMG gearbox ~10K to replace

need a second job..

thats what happens when you buy 140K+ cars man what you expect

So you'd get hassled in a modified import when all you were doing was cruising on chapel street or at the beach or parked in parking lots standing around...

Some things are a mystery.

Note: I'm not saying I agree with it, chances are you were minding your own business doing nothing wrong, but you can't be surprised...

twas very frustrating, just when you think its getting smoother and you start moving more than 10km/h....bang! you drive into a fkn hole

beater car sounds like a good idea

true. price of cars drop but cost of repairs/parts/maintenance dont. could go manual and save the headaches but i want the sequential

what about driving back home from the shops on Sunday at 4pm and copping a full epa :(

/sux to be in Knox council.

Times pulled over;

- Driving to Kmart on Sunday evening = defect

- Driving to Status Tuning after work on Wednesday = defect

- Driving back home from shops on Sunday afternoon = defect

- Driving back home from shops on Sunday afternoon = epa

- Looking for carpark on chapel street for dinner on Thursday evening = license check and on you go :domokun:

Majority of my defects/epas have occurred on Sunday afternoons. I dont like Sundays :down:

    • 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.  
    • 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.
