Just curiouse to see if im the only sucker out there?

After making sure my wife knew not to throw 1 specific box out, I thought I had all bases covered. i asked her to get this box out containing a brand new gizzmo electronic boost controller, turns out she pulled the manual out and threw the rest in the bin.... Haven't been this devo'd since I blew up my turbo.

Lol any one else having these issues and is there a group buy on for newer model wives?

Bahahaha, sorry to hear mate. It's best to ban ur wife from the garage. Whilst I have never had this problem I'm sure my wife wishes I'd write my 260rs off or that It would catch fire or something. She calls my stag the never ending story!

My missus was banned from the garage, after she started dumping washing baskets and other household detritus on my farkin workbench!

I bought her a whole house to play in, I only want one room for myself.

Lol thanks Craig. Just shattering is all. I can't even stay angry at her, she rang me all emotional and crying and I couldn't even get angry or I'm the guy that made his pregnant wife cry.... I swear if they didn't have a vag we'd throw rocks at them.

Get used to it mate. Women cant help themselves, they've just gotta touch things that dont concern them. But if u move anything of thiers they lose the plot. Give it a try. Move a picture or some junk they've cluttered your house with.

Funny story on that Ray! There was a cheap arse picture that never made it onto the wall in my house.........I'd tripped over it for a little over 5 years. Anyway it ended up in my garage with a whole heap of other shit that was suppose to be moved out within a week of going in there(she took nearly 8 months and numerous arguments).

Long story short on the day when "I had" decided to reclaim man land she came out to help.......for some reason she still would not let me through the picture out even though it was never going to go on the wall.

So the conversation went a little like this after I had figured out that it didn't matter what I did she was going to end up with the shits.

First item!

Me: Can we get rid of the 2 dollar picture that I have been tripping over for 5 years and has never made onto a wall?

Wife: Noooooo!!!

Me: Why?

Wife: It might be useful one day?

Me: Your kidding arn't you?.......it's an 2 dollar POS!

Wife: Don't start me Craig we are KEEPING it!

Me: So were keeping broken shit now!!!

Wife: It's not broken and we are KEEPING it

Me: So can we throw broken stuff out

Wife: Yes

-----Foot goes through picture-----

Wife: I cannot believe you just did that arsehole!

Me: (Walking off) You have till the end of the day to move that shit out of the garage........then all the shit is going back into the house and you can deal with it!

We had our biggest garbage collection ever....and I got my garage back! :banana:

Special cuddles went on further hold...... :/

HahA made my day, and it's exactly like you

I get sick of my wife asking "why do you need all these cars bits. Stop building new cars...blah blah"

I have just rented another 8x8m storage shed beside my other 12x8m without her knowing

I can now build another car and she will not know until it turns up in the driveway in 6 months time......watch this space

my ex was like that. she had no idea how many cars i had or how much crap i had until we bought a house. the non stop nagging about spending money on cars is how she became ex mrs. new 1 stays out of the garage with the threat of spiders :D winning!!

I love this. Mrs 66 has never asked me to get rid of any (good) shit. We have a great big four Stagea garage, but there are no cars in it. We have an Art Gallery, Mrs. 66 is a really great Artist. The garage is full of frame making equipment. that is my forte!. but there is a certain amount of space for stuff. Coil overs, turbos, plennums, pipes, nuts and bolts, tubing, tools, oils etc. etc. etc. The simple necessities of life to sustain an elderly afficondio like myself. It even has a fridge XXXX

The back garage is so full of stuff that I cant get in to sharpen the mower blades. The very back shed has a BMX, a mountain bike, half an R30, most of a Sil and all sorts of Stagea bits and heaps of wheels and tyres

I live in Nissan Heaven.

    • 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.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
