Hey stranger, not seen you for long time! Saw you at meet for 6am cruise but thought you were coming

so could catch up later, oh well, next time. Got all your wheel nuts on tight now? ha ha......

Good to see some of the original members still on here, you are one of the rare few who joined before me!

Cheers, John

G'day John, it has been a while mate, it certainly has. It was good to at least say hi face-to-face on the morning of the cruise, as brief as it was - I had commitments later that morning so unfortunately I couldn't come on the cruise proper. Ha-ha, yeah those wheel nuts are rock solid these days, I know that cause I fitted all new studs and I fit the wheel nuts on these days :happy: The 35 looks and sounds great mate, as does the 33. You, Andrew and I, and one or two others, we've been around on SAU for a while now. I still remember the days of SDU, when I was still young - late 90's.

Well im waiting for the Supra to be finished bloody picked it up around christmas, took it back for 30 psi tune and we found out the head had broken springs and stuff. So when that one is finished the 34 can get the necessary cooling system and engine rebuild done.

But yeh when your ready man on the brakes, i gotta say i have no complaints about them whatsoever, and the Supra will be getting the same package, i also have knowledge that my set came out of the same factory that builds the Patented Greddy Grex package.

Sorry to hear about the Supra, not good mate. When I was at BW last I saw a bunch of under-bonnet parts sitting in a pile and figured it wasn't good. Hang in there mate, it will get there in the end. Both cars are awesome bits of kit, a JZA80 and an R34 GT-R, spoilt for choice.

The brake package is a bargain. Half the price and the same quality as the name brand items.

brakes.... best deal I found around was the following, paid $869usd delivered for wilwood superlite 4-piston calipers, drilled 330mm rotors, metal lines, pads, bolts, & brake bracket mount.

sample - http://cgi.ebay.com.au/330mm-200SX-Skyline...=item1c11584bd6

Ive put these on my R32 gtst sedan rb26dett Im doing up as a 2-seater track. Added speedbleeders for fluid bleeding ease.

The stagea is using the r32 front gtr calipers.

Brendan, nice buy mate! That's a lot of gear for the money - especially when the AUD was in the $0.90's. The track car sounds like a lot of fun too. The brake set-up George is talking about is a little more expensive, but bang for buck is outstanding value for a 380mm rotor, huge 6-8 piston caliper, line, bracket and pad deal. And the quality is as good any of the Japanese brand name kits.

Thanks, Kel. And I hope your potential employment situation comes out the way you want it too. Fingers crossed.

Thanks, Damo. Mate if you do manage to scan it, do me a favour, don't put the photo of my face up on here - talk about a shocker!

I had a giggle :)

Hey Matty. Yeah for sure mate. I haven't driven the 33 much of late, but certainly keen to get it out. I haven't seen you since that day at Macca's - you and the missus were arriving and Kim and I were leaving. What are you driving these days? We should look at having a reunion with the old school crew.

G'day mate! Been a while but yes the car is finally at a point I can drive it whenever I want - sort of. Thanks. So how about the big 3.1L, how is she going? Does it drink E85 these days?

Ironically mine has been doing what yours was. Sitting for a long while. Mates neighbor backed into the front 1/4 panel, then got defected 5mm too low....its been sitting since. I'll have the time soon to start playing with it again but first i need to fix them minor problems :banana:

Cubes is the one to ask about energy drinks these days too :thumbsup:

      @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.

      I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.

      @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.
