This Arvo / Evening / Night I put new Balljoints in a spare pair of R31 Control arms I got (there was Nipple Greasing involved) :O,

pulled my Nolathane LCA bushes out of my old LCAs and put them in too.

Put the 27mm Front Swaybar back in with the FREE Nolathane D Bushes I got some months ago. (when I was sent the wrong ones).

Tightened a wheel bearing and Found and fixed a coolant leak. (I created) :rolleyes:

Was going to put in new Tierod ends but I couldn't get the old ones out. (I need me a Pickle Fork) but I think they are still ok anyway...maybe.

Steering still wanders a little but feels much tighter and direct plus less body roll. :thumbsup:

That 34 looks nice at the coast.

Finally assembled everything, and i can detail it now, also i can move the bastard out of the shed.

And i dont have sht all over the place, its all on the car, i can use the shed again for other things.

Yep, I don't mind a bit of nipple greasing, dependent on gender of course ... :wacko:

Thanks Mik, that was at Port Macquarie ..

so when is the big reveal Michael ?

Probably next weekend or during the week sometime.

Some polish touch ups, waxing, rubbers are getting better, a bit more on them, and a sunny day to get nice photos.

I just washed it again, pre final polish. Its weird washing a car thats not visibly dirty. But it has to have all traces of coarser polish gone.

Had a quick drive around the block a few times to warm it up. Its been a while.

Madness! Yes, we need sunny day for pics. :D

I fixed the Wagz's windows washers with a better motor. Now instead of barely dribbling on the bonnet, it nearly hits you in the eye. :laugh:

Also bought a new bearing for the old Dizzy, put it in and cleaned it all up for futures...

Yep drove it from Autotech to home supercharged. Blower was stuffed so I cut my losses and started making turbo manifolds. A year later and it's almost ready to drive again lol

Edit: same forged motor, just with T04Z instead of the blower.

    • @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.
