I've always had a love for cars, I loved my 1987 Supra before this , enough to have a badly paying job yet dedicate my life to pouring all my money and every weekend to it for 2 years even after people told me to give up and scrap it. I pushed on to no avail as my 7MGTE finally let go but...

Ive never ever loved a car like this. My 1997 Skyline R33 series 2 stirs emotions inside me that I thought nothing could.

The beautiful lines of my r33 , that aggressive stance , those signature hotplate lights...they all send tingles down my spine.

The gurgle of the RB , its seamless torque as it pulls all the way to redline , the sound of my engine honestly sends shivers down my spine and gives me literal goosebumps. Nothing sounds like an RB, you can hear it coming a mile away.

I've never felt so intensely about a car before , Ive never had so much admiration for the build quality , for the power it seems to have throughout the entire rev range. The ability it has to change direction with the twitch of the steering wheel. How easily the back flips out but just as easyily pulls back in. That additive pull when it comes on boost , the whoose of the bov as it vents.

I caress every curve as I wash it every Saturday and sit back and admire it...I didnt know it was possible to have a feeling like this towards an inanimate object.

And to think...I havn't even driven a GTR yet!

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @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.
