21yrs old,  just joined forums, a 34GTR, me smells a birthday present :P

sorry dude, had to be done

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha thanks i hav'nt laughed that hard since i was a little girl!

I wish my parents were that generous. I took money out of my consumer morgage on one of my propertys for what i didn't have saved.

how does one gain such a grasp at 21? Property and shares both need start-up capital, and returns arent gonna make you loaded overnight unless that capital is very substantial.  

Im not picking at you im just curious, as im also interested in property, not so much shares tho.

Well now iam fielding questions to prove iam not a crim or spoilt brat. Oh well I was privately educated which helped, and took an interest in finance from when i was about 15. Had part-time jobs since then aswell just saved when i was 18 i invested in Hillgrove Gold and all the yield i got from them i used to buy more shares and gain capital. I got into property just before it boomed aswell which helped.

I hav'nt taken any handouts just was very careful where i spent money, and didnt spend money when i did'nt have it. I wanted a R34 GTR since i first saw one in Japan back in 99' i just gradually worked towards my goal.

C'mon guys, i dont want to have to be the one to say this but i think maybe we/you are pushing this dude a lil too far.. So what, he has a nice car.. so do many other people on these forums.. do we criticise them? I'll probably get beat down for this post also, however, the questions you are asking are rather personal. He does not need to prove himself to you to post on these forums. If that was the case.. post up your measurements now.. lol

After reading everything I have to agree, big deal if the dude has a 34GTR at 21. I say well done, thats a awesome effort

He was just trying to find some low-life who biffed his car!! Good to hear that the cops are doing there job, pity he had to ruin another persons day and crash into there car as well

As for the other stuff COPYME has said about it running whatever quatermile times, if a owner wants to make claims on a forum and can't back them up - prepare to be roasted

Seems like everyone has something to say, just thought I'd add my 2c as well

Chris

yes evryone always has something to say... im not roasting him im just interested how he came about it. I dont care if it were given to him, and its not like im going to bad mouth him if it were, and since he says that he has done it on his own, surely thats a success story youd here about on TV! who wouldnt like to know how a 21 year old affords a $100thou+car on his own? These are indeed personal questions and nowhere does it say he has to answer them. I think its interesting to hear how people make it big.

agreed :P

I remember when two 21 year old brothers bought a $60,000 Ferrari, and it made the paper! Surely COPYME's story is worthy of a full length feature film :D

Looks like a nice car

    • @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.
