sorry to hear bout the loss rac33r, and soopamarcus bout ur friend's gtt... always see the gtt along engineering walk...

i dun mean to kill all hopes, but my mr2 was stolen on a saturday afternoon in april 2000... i was overseas and had left the car with a friend in macquarie to sell... i placed the ad in the trading post and some guy rang my friend up to come see the car... when he showed up, my friend drove the car out of the garage and made a boo-boo by leaving the engine running when he got out of the car... just then, someone else rang my friend to ask about the car (probably the guy's accomplice)... as my friend was getting distracted by the phone call, the guy who came to "see" the car hopped in and sped off... the car was recovered the next morning in campsie, stripped of all panels, interior, wheels and stereo... thankfully it was insured... ever since, my frens and i always have another quick car on standby whenever any of us are selling our cars... one tip is to separate the key from the alarm/immobiliser remote control and keep the control on your body so u can arm the car if you get thrown out...

Hey lou15x, ive seen u around uni..and i remember ur red MR2..i rememebr in first year i heard the blow-off go off on anzac parade and i was like hmm interesting..hehehe its 3 years on now and hehe ive seen that uve gone thru many cars...

looks sweet...i got da silver r33 ...

PM me and maybe we can meet up in uni one day ...

should get all the skyline owners out one day hehehe

mc

:shake:

yeah hehe... u had the red celica b4 eh? noticed the change when ur plates went on the skyline... well hopefully this one lasts for a while cos i'm pretty happy with it so far...

i've actually done some courses the same time as u, just u prob dunno my face... i'm in 3311 this term as well... :D

dOOd: yeah i know ya face... just never spoken to ya...hehehe

ill say hi next time dun worry about it!!!

yup, i am keen on the idea of wakefield action... i am in 100% if during the break...

and yeah start another thread, this one should be dedicated to RAC33R.

a few months ago my front grill got stolen at macqaurie. i thought that was bad enough.

This is getting out of hand!

oh yeh, and i remember seeing RAC33R a while ago at fox studios i think. sorry to hear she's gone

:D

Couldn't believe it when i found out about Rac33r and GTT. No wonder you didn't call to cruise on the weekend. I'm at UNSW/Kingsford maccas nearly everyday....and my car is always on the streets and has no garage. This is gettin outa hand, GTT was one of the best 34's i've seen, and rac33rs wasn't too bad:p Sorry to hear about your losses guys.

ps. unsw cruise! lol

my left side was hit and run a few months back, never had time...or the money...to fix it..... gotta get it done in a few weeks, i like it how it is, dont have to be worried about ppl openin their door onto me, scratchin it bla bla. plus it makes me look like a psycho.

u wouldnt see me at unsw much anymore coz a) im never there coz im too lazy, B) i dont park in the carpark much anymore because im supposedly "banned" for all the **** i do in there...come on, smooth concrete, i cant resist havin a bit of fun with it :(

i cant believe it about gtt, saw that car almost every day parked in those few spots near the red centre parked with that crazy silver/pink pearl volvo s40.... such a nice car :D

did rac33r go unsw too? i'm sure it looks familiar, mad car too.

yes we unsw boys must meet up sometime soon!

Argh man that sucks, I'm never going to take my car to Macquarie again :D Is this Flashpoint alarm easy to override or something? Or did they just remove it or the battery and put the car on the back of a truck? If anyone wants to put a lynch mob together to get these thieving scumbags, I'm up for that.

    • @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. @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.
    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.
    • post up screen shots of your injector tables
    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.
