Good start to what I hope is a long running series! I hate to be the first person to say something negative, but one thing that annoys me is when a video has music playing instead of the sound of the cars, as with the footage of us leaving BP. Lots of videos do it, including the Deca footage Rekin posted, personally I would much prefer to listen to the cars.

Of course with this being a first episode with footage you took before you suggested the idea of SAU Vic TV, I do not know if this is indicative of what you have planned for future episodes.

Back to positive comments; SAU Vic TV was an awesome idea and I hope this really takes off!

I know exactly what your saying. There was a technical issue during the drive out. I forgot to turn on the power to the mic. If you want to check out an older video I did at the same location go to my "htial1" channel.

Fair enough, that is understandable. I have seen that old video; I'm in it :P (back when the car had the ugly BN body kit). Keep up the good work!

fantastic start to something i hope that keeps on going.

and from your previous post you started looks like you wont be able to interview me and my car now :(

anywho great stuff, ill spread the link around and look forward to more.

I saw your post about that. What a dog act. Let's hope karma is strong for you.

We'll have to get together with your next car for a "Members and their Rides" episode.

I'm not going to bother starting a new thread for this question, because I hope most of you "watch" topics you reply in...

What do people think the "Tags" and "Catogory" of SAU Vic TV should be???...

I'm mainly thinking about what should go in every video. I'd only put something like GOR in videos that were down the Great Ocean Road. But I was thinking things like SAU Skyline Skylines Vic Victoria Australia should go in the Tags for every video.

Good stuff , keep it going.

Nows here's some of my videos from the day.

Part 1.

part 2.

It was my 1st time with this camera so, video is a little jerky , angles are off etc, etc.....

Hopefully I'll have the last two parts up soon.

Looking good... ...I didn't have anyone with me on the day so didnt get any in car stuff... ...think I'll leave my car at home next time and take someone's jump seat...

Episode two is going up to YouTube right now... ...had a few problems with the upload this morning when I set it going and headed to work... ...looks like it's all good at the moment... ...fingers crossed third times a charm...

    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
    • Could be correct. Meter might be that far out. Compare against a known 5 ohm 1% resistor.
    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap.  (edit: I went out and did it right now, the line I had chosen did appear to have no vacuum on it, it used to go to the front of the intake, I've now completely blocked that one off at the bracket that holds several vacuum lines by the firewall.  I T'd into the vacuum line that goes from that bracket to the vacuum pump at the front of the car, but no change in the MAP readings).  Using the new vacuum line that has obvious vacuum on the hose, im still only getting readings between -6.0 and -5.2.  I'm wondering why the ECU was detecting -5.3 when nothing was connected to the MAP nipple and ECU MAP selected as the source. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
