Just wondering if anyone has notice that when you drive your skyline on the road, alot of people come up ur arse at the light for the fun of it. Normal roads for me is fine i hate it when I am on a hill and they do it. Its like they want me to roll back and hit them.

Just seeing if anyone else usually have that happening to them. I drive my other car which is a 2006 model camry and no one come up my back side in the skyline they do it all the time.

Especially P platers!!! Nothing against p plates its just they are the majority of them of them that come up my back side for the fun of it.

Give me your opinion?!

hehe you said a funnyy..

On a serious note, yes you will get dickheads constantly even including undercover cops trying to stir you up. The trick is to act with maturity and you won't have any trouble. It's part of the price you pay for driving a high performance vehicle.

Just sit back and smile and enjoy your ride.

lol that is what i usually do just pretend they are not there and just drive its just it gets annoying on a hill. Dont want to pay for damage to a car so just for safety i use the hand brake.

Lol...although RB25PWR isn't undercover.

Yep, it happens...a lot. I can't remember the last time a local V8 with an exhaust was near me without trying to drag me. P-platers LOVE to race. Police don't seem to bat an eyelid down here though, perhaps my skin isn't olive enough?

I had some fool trying to get me to pull over last time. Oh yeah that's likely to happen.

Also got road raged, there was a freak rain storm and then all cars on the highway had to come to a grinding stop due to a dog on the road. Haha all these fun events in no particular order, was an eventful drive up last time!

Try being a chick in a GTR. I hate driving up the highway to Sydney by myself, people carry on a bit silly!

Lol being honest chicks in GTR's do distract me, but i don't think anything silly ensue's.

Not trying anything here, but a girl in a GTR = hawt. If my girlfriend drove a GTR, I'd marry her the moment the rego went into her name.

But as a general thing, I don't get people being idiots. It's actually quite the opposite. I have a lot of people take of REALLY slowly at lights so they don't G me up for a race or something like that.

I've been having a lulz at it, telling friends "they're taking off slower than the green p-plater hoon in a skyline so they can sit back and bitch about how bad of a driver I am". Even though I'm shifting at 2500 and taking it chill.

My opinion of an idiot on the road is someone who's putting other peoples life directly at risk. Ripping a burnout or trying to drift in an industrial area on a weekend or at night isn't too bad when you've got friends all around you managing the pedestrians, but turning your headlights off at night and almost forcing a car off the road is being a total f**king wank.

And Skyline drivers don't general attract wankers. Infact, in Sydney, I've met plenty of extremely enthusiastic and friendly Skyline drivers. It's commodore drivers that have been giving me the shits recently.

I know how annoying being really really ridiculously good-looking can be. It must be even worse for you..lol

orange moccha frap-a-chinos FTW

the only drink to have if you are really really rediculously good looking

Good looks are a blessing and a burden.

You know, you're just going about your daily life, trying to get on with driving or work or what ever and BAM women everywhere.

For example, see figure 1.

hahaha that is gold!

Terry your car is blue now?

Often im driving normally an as soon as i give the slightest throttle ( just a bit of spooling) people feel the need to gun it lol.

i think theyre idiots, "im not racing you, if i was you would NOT be in front or alongside or anywhere near me" lol

PS To all you Camry/Magna/Commodore wagon owners: i behave on roads an enjoy my car on track, nor do i need to prove my car is faster than your shopping trolley

    • @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.
    • 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.
