Late reply but no runs for me for a while guys. Will be very busy the next couple months at least until life settles down for me.

Will also have to reluctantly miss Nov 9th dude. I'll be sending someone off at the airport that day.

You will just have to make the Christmas party then :)

Next sunday ... doooo eeeeet .

Not many skyline cruises on

Well man just last week a mate of mine with 5 other imports got pulled into queensland transport for a full on defecting session that went for a couple hours.

News like that spreads....and equals less and less cruises. Has definitely put me off that's for sure :(

A cruise is meant to be something one enjoys....not an event where you try to spot fat c*nts in see-me vests in the middle of the road waving their glow in the dark butt plugs around.

Yeh I know what you mean man...I'm doing likewise. I've just been focusing on work stuffs while the car sits in the shed all week and only comes out for a grocery run lol.

Life would be quite chaotic for you at the mo eh? :D

Luckily, we are not in the same position as Brissy/Gold Coast guys when we go cruising around our area. We have passed numerous cops on our little jaunts with 5 or so cars and have never had any dramas. If you hit the limiter constantly in 60 zones and hang out at with the douchers on Thursday nights you deserve to be pulled up imo.

Totes down for a Queen Mary run, bit of different scenery would be good. Could be available on the public hol

Ah well I'm not too fussed about it all anymore Clint....I'm looking at pulling out of the car scene for a while and focusing on more important matters. Start investing in something that actually gets you some returns and not just takes your money never to be seen again haha....8 years of pouring money into these pits was just cray cray (for real real, not for play play)

Maybe get back in to the scene one day with a nice cruiser of some sort? I mean all I / we do is cruise around...so maybe a nice phat V8 land yacht of some sort....maybe even something along the lines of a hotrod or a Cobra for those Sunday drives in the hinterland ;) Something nice and raw - an easily accessible engine with 4 wheels attached!

Even fancy the occasionaly 240z and 928's

^ He still has it. I see it occasionally driving along hume st LOL.

Either he's heading home or perhaps going somewhere to get a feed?

To be honest, I don't think they're money pits. I don't drink nor do I smoke, plus there's also money going into the bank so some of my disposable income has to go somewhere. Spending your money/consumption keeps the economy going.

Although I have to admit, having any disposable income may be a thing of the past and I think you've understood my current situation pretty well, Tommeh ;)

Chris, I'll make it a point to attend Xmas at yours. Your family puts up the maddest feed!

all about having a healthy savings/bills/disposable ratio mateys. I have too many other extra curricular activities and habits in addition to the car to warrant spending considerable monies on it.

yes I do make an appearance on Hume st for my daily commute, when I use it for work. Gets so boring driving the spare car. Nick, you seem to spend a bit of time on Hume st yourself?

    • 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.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
