I saw a light blue R32 GTS with the plates NISMO 2 heading away from the city going down anzac highway, really nice looking bodykit on it.

A yellow R34 GTS-t with the plates SLY 34 on pulteney street at the end of rundle mall in the city.

A R33 GTS-t with the plates BB 07IY in a happy wash on south road at bedford park, just before the goodwood road turn off. Was a really nice green/aqua colour.

see too many 'lines to spot em all day. nice one this morning was the white R33 with white 17's, looked very clean.

was that white 33 on sir donald bradman drive near autobahn intersection and were you driving a maroon 33?

if so that was meeeee

spotted a few skylines at HJ's on West Tce

i did take pics but they didn't turn out to good but who cares lol

Hey, didn't realise you took a photo of my friend's car (the black one)..... were you using a "spy" camera ?? lol..:huh: .. I was sitting at the Hj's open area with my friend chatting about cars.... were you the one with the red jacket? I would had said 'hi' if I knew you were Pokie....... :( it's alright, we skyline lovers have plenty of chance to meet sometime in future cruises..... :huh:

red jacket?? no i was the 1 an orange boob tube top

haha would've been cool if ya did say hi, but next time

hopefully :huh:

haha spy camera, tis a digital camera man, was using it to

record mine and a friends "drunken-ish adventures" :(

hj's open area?? is that the inside or outside?? :S lol

All of those that were out at the drift practice last night.

It was a good night.

Skyline

and the 31 club boys and girls.

Sorry to anyone else that was there that i didnt know.

saw a few cars out friday night, saw the small SAU cruise up mt lofty, Met Patrick/Pkblade.

Also saw vange a few times, once when you came through freedom carpark and again at jms.. shouldve introduced myself sorry, i was the one leaning on the orange 32, getting bored.

Last night saw a nice yellow r33 gtr, as well as a custom paint job 33 in metallic purple with a couple of girls in it. and quiet a few silver 33's down anzac. and the black 33 at hj's on west tce that pookie pictured...

Considerin drift prac and the shitfacefest was on there was fair representation out...

    • 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.
