Hey all,

My name is Dom, im from the Gold Coast in Queensland.

Im currently looking at getting a Skyline R34 GTR, my previous car was a Genuine Mitsubishi Evolution III which is a fairly rare (only 20 road registered in AUS)

I hope to catch up with many of you guys once i get this GTR

Here is a few pics of my old girl

Oh man I so want your old plates!! The 33 fits in perfectly with my car! Hahaha.

Nice evo 3 man, my mate Lee had a black one aswell but sold it a few years back (Don't suppose you bought that one from a guy in Townsville did you? I think he had white/silver 7 spoke wheels on it). I didn't even realise there was only 20 in Aus :(

yeah the car was in fast fours :blink: but it was in the june copy this year.

Evo was bought in South Australia and i shipped it back up to the gold coast.

It also looks like ill be the owner of an R34 GTR this week, i comp tested the motor and it was 170 across the board so im pleased to know the motor is in good health to match the immacuate body. someone should come for a drive with me this weekend :rolleyes:

    • 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.
    • 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.
