If you guys do hook up, do you mind if I come along and have a stickybeek and learn a thing or two. I have tones of questions?

Fine with me.....will let you know!

I washed my stag last night at 11:55pm whistling.gif

god damn I need a good detail..... is it worth buying the stuff and doing it myself? or better off letting the professionals do it ?? teehee.gif

worth buying and doing your self, and having the stuff to do it another 3 times down the track.

you can spend near abouts the same amount to get someone good enough to do a good job.

Comes down to you being bothered or not.

Did mine the other day, came out alright for my first time doing it

looks good :) I'll have to have a think about what I want to do! there is a good satisfaction I suppose when you do it yourself! cheers.gif

I know there is some pretty good instructions on how to do it on here.. using those magic bar things after the wash

have attached an rtf document a made when I copied the instructions off one of the posts long ago :D

Can say the sore back and arms pay off when you look at it n done well.

I clearly didnt copy that outline lol, i use a microfibre sponge. its a sponge version of the chamois. Never scratched my car.

I just used that 3 step maguires stuff. but whatever works and last's i gues.

Have fun being sore for the rest of the day :whistling:

lol....so your the one that bought it aye!!!.....I was watching it.....should be good for a plug and play IMO!......just go for a quick run up on a dyno if your worried!

I can not see it being anything too radical and if it is with your turbo you wont be leaning off anyway!....but then again I could not find anything on the web for it!

The problem with mine was I was running an Impul at the time and it had no boost cut!.....I also didn't have control of boost at the time and with all the little bit's I had added on it leaned off fairly quickly.....+ I had the standard fuel pump!

For e.g. at the moment I am running the Nismo with all my little bit's and pieces I am hitting 97% duty cycle at 4,000rpm on 8PSI boost and with 70% throttle application. Cannot wait for 18PSI, 6,500+RPM and full throttle usage again!

I'm pretty sure he was talking about the "nasty" sponges and not the microfibre ones haha

yeah that outline is a bit bloated and some might say "overkill" but that's how they get the car show shine apparently! thumbsup.gif

will work up a good sweat when detailing I'm sure.. I think I'll give it a go! (maybe this weekend)

Craig are you gonna beat me to a tune? hurry up and come down n do ittttt! wanna see what the ARX will be like all tuned - SAFELY

Bit of a late Christmas for me :)

Got this in the mail today!

Now its time for the rest of the exhaust and highflow :)

Im really tempted to plug it in and drive, but don't want any Jetwreck type problems....

ahhh very lucky!!

i was going to bid on that myself but i was away and forgot all about it, nice work!!

plug it in and let us know. beware of the throttle restriction :P

It will be fine... I am running the Impul with no problems... other than hitting 100% duty cycle at 7000 rpm. Fortunatley the ECU is running the car rich so this is not an issue.

:thumbsup:

I'm just waiting for Scott to tell me when to come down....as soon as he gives me the go I'm on my way!

What did i do lately?

got pissed and watched a STIG DVD in the car!

climbed out at 2am (go the cupholders!) and left the interior lights on, had to leave it on charge overnight to get enough back in the cells to start it.

it was discovered by the mrs who called after i had already made it to work complaining that the doors wont open and is making a siren noise... oops!

hpefully the cahrge will build up again and i haven't killed the battery, i'll find out in 3 hours when the mrs goes to leave from work LOL

Well Took it out for a quick spin at lunch today. Plugged in the ECU and everything started and ran perfectly! which is good news.

gave it a little bit up the main road and it has a bit more top end actually - infact in auto it shifts out of 2nd at 7,500rpm! pulled hard all the way and I was going over 120km at that stage so didnt want to keep the foot planted. It feels the same at low revs, mid range seems a little stronger (could be my imagination) but definitely pulls better up top and just keeps revving up to 7,500 - which is weird because the sticker on the ECU says 7,000 rpm.

Anyway I think I got a good bargain there!

Now its time for the high flow and dump so I can really make use of this ECU.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
