Hi - nice car you have there. Bought myself something similar recently and i'm new to the scene. I'm Narre Warren North area.

Used to live in Frankston myself. Not many skylines in my neck of the woods either. I'm in a silver R33. If i see you i'll be sure to wave :)

I don't know anyone yet and I know not many females around that are into Skylines. :unsure: Be great to meet anyone though who's an enthusiast

like me. I've not joined SAU officially yet but will be asap.

Anyone know of any cruises / park / meet & greet type events that happen around south east suburbs? Narre Warren / Cranbourne / Pakenham / even further south or towards the city side of the stump at all and when? Is there a regular meet or cruise on weekends etc? would love to take part. i remember a big bunch of cars that used to meet & park at the Krispy Kreme carpark in Narre Warren/Fountain Gate about 10pm on Fri or Sat nights sometimes, that seems to have disappeared now. Think that might have been Vic Street Scene crowd. Not sure.

Any advice appreciated - Pls drop a line anytime to say hi. Hope to meet some of you soon :action-smiley-069:

Im in Berwick

There are a few skylines in the area .

You need to come down to a meeting at Garage Cafe and say hi. The are plenty of girls in the club and a few attend these meetings.

But if you really want to have some fun come to DECA.. :thumbsup:

You dont need to be a SAUvic club member to attent meetings or DECA.

But its worth thinking about membership.

Wow! Another local. Nice to meet you Wayne. I saw a blue 34 the other day on Beacie-Emerald Rd, Not you?

There are a few locals. Be great to meet a few people out this way for a meet & greet sometime.

Thanks for the heads up on the Garage cafe. Definitely intend to join officially & become a member v/soon. Sounds really good.

(Can I ask a really stupid question.. whats DECA?)

Cheers :

The above link will give you a idea.

We hire the DECA complex in Shepparton and have a day there on the saturday and hit Shep at night . Great weekend.

    • 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.
