How about any time after 5pm at smoothe? How will we know which table, someone hang a Skylines Oz t-shirt over the back of a chair? Or pick like a corner of the outside area to sit at. I'm not sure how busy it is at that time.

So who is it:

Jameszilla

SS8_Gohan

Horus

Jetdat

Hotsky

Creation

SkylineGeoff

Dave

Horus

WazR32GTSt

Funky

so does Friday, 5pm onwards sound good? Maybe 5:30pm?

Maybe good to try this again...

Was good to meet you Gohan :(

Horus & Oyabun also popped in for a coffee.

The weather was awful - but maybe some more numbers next time.

I can't this Friday... maybe a lunchtime?

Boys....i was down there at 6...i didnt see anyone except a few table full of people which i imagined were not the SAU boys....so i went up to see if CREATION was still parked on the 4th floor....and he wasnt...so i left thinking no one showed up...

James and Gohan, Horus and Oyabun, i am really sorry i missed you guys...i was looking forward to meeting all of you...but i have no idea what you guys look like...

i am up for another time for lunch or after work drinks, but how am i gonna recognise you guys??

Yeah, great to meet you too James. Sorry to leave ya there for a bit, but my 30min break stretched to 1 hour, didn't wanna push it any longer :) At least a few other blokes rocked up.

Sorry i haven't replied to ur PM yet Jetdat. I went down to Smoothe round 6'ish, then gave James a sms, and it ended up being about 6:30pm. We were inside cos it was shit cold, and there were 2 guys standing around outside, so i went out and asked if they were waiting for anyone and they looked at me strangely and said "Jenny" or something :( whoops!

Yeah we need a meeting point next time. That's why i thought we should pick a corner of Smoothe. Maybe meet at the ATM next time, just look for people not making a transaction at it, just standing next to it. Anyways, my ANZ email id is 'chind' so if we organise another one, maybe us ANZ'ers can hook up first then go down. Also i have a RED neck thing attached to my security card, but i leave it hanging out of the back pocket of my Jeans for easy access. So if u see some dude standing around with a red cord hanging out the back pocket, that be me! :( I always wear jeans on Friday as well.

Maybe lunch next time?

EDIT: jeans and colorado shoes, a given on a friday ;) colorado shoes are those suede ones, the yellowy ones. So colorado's, jeans, red cord, that be me :D

    • 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.
