Hey guys have been here for a few weeks now, thought I would come here and say hello because the wasteland looks like some fun and I didn't want to be too much of a random. My names Bill, live in the Hurstville area Sydney, looking at becoming an SAU NSW member as I want to get more involved in the car community, I love skylines always have, always will and everyone from SAU is nothing but friendly and seem like an awesome bunch of blokes. Interested in participating in some track days and things like that. Had a few fair lemon daily's in my driving career only two things worth noting are a Honda prelude (barely- not a Honda fan-boy) and a non turbo r33 gtst back in my late teens.

The prelude was nice and had nice creature comforts however I wouldn't enjoy the FWD, I loved the Skyline as you would imagine. I have a lemon Mitsubishi Magna as a daily which is on its way out and is also due for rego, I'll be getting something cheap with some rego to get around for now, almost at the end of my saving goal to buy a weekender.

Other then cars, I'm not into too much as a hobby anymore, was never into the clubbing or the going out scene, more of a hang out with friends grab something to eat and relax type of guy.

Was into bodybuilding for about 5 years quiet seriously, dont go too often anymore, enjoy some fifa on PlayStation so if anyone wants a game pm me.

Thats about it, happy to be here, if anyone has any questions let me know!

Cheers, Bill

Welcome.

definitely join the club.

as a cams affiliated club, you can get your license and enter motorsport events.

great bunch of people.

either way, hope to see you on some cruises.

Cheers on the replies guys( and girls) , definitely going to join up, anyone have a link and the easiest way to go a bout becoming a member? Is it possible to become a member even if one doesnt own a skyline at the moment?

Have no pics on the set up, nothing fancy, dont have a skyline at the moment and probably wont for a while. I was going to get an r32 GTR but with the age and maintanence on them i've decided to go for an evo for now, (dont shoot me) still really want to become a member and participate and become more involved in the whole motorsport events and cruise scene, surely there are a few NSW members that have evo's and different types of cars other then skylines?

Don't get me wrong skyline will always be my favorite and if I had enough I would love to get mint series 3 r33 GTR or an r34, just dont have the funds for it at the moment, later on in life when I am set up a little better I'll definitely be going in that direction..

Before someone says why dont you go and become a member of an evo club, simply because an r34 GTR was my dream car growing up and I have always loved everything Nissan.

I have been browsing these forums for so long and cant help but notice how friendly and helpful everyone is, just seems like an awesome crowd to hang around and I feel a lot more comfortable in this community.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      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.

      spot the stagea

      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.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
