Happy Birthday Mate - saw your name on the roll call

##years old - The Answer to Life, The Universe, and Everything.

Some of you may not know Jayce as he doesn't post often nowdays. For those who do join me in this birthday wish!.

One of the nicest guys you will ever meet. A real SAU enthusiast and he organised and particpated in most local events.

He organised for number of years a table at that place on the main circle in Braddon for us during Summernats.

Was a constant with me and a fair few others during the " Trivia" nights at Jerra Pub every second Tuesday for a few years.

Legendary nights and very memorable things happend on these nights :cheers:

He owns a Unicorn. A 1994 R32 Vspec II

'We' say that now as it's a rare beast and hasn't been seen for about 5years now.

It's one of 2 that I know of that was bought new by a performance garage in Japan.

They painted both in a pearl white and I beleive both are in Aus.

Jayce took it off the road in great running order and trim to rebuild and repaint it. Why I dont know !!

It was better than mine is now when he garaged it. :yes:

Look forward to the return of your GTR mate.

Happy birthday!

"The Answer" man that brings back some memories, i loved it so much when i was a kid/teenager i could quote almost the whole radio play.

"Whats so bad about being drunk? Ask a glass of water"

And us not being descended from apes, but actually from used car salesmen, and advertising account executives, really makes sense in a sick kind of way.

:laugh:

Awww, thanks crew. Especially you, Rich'! I know I've been very quiet, both in general and here on the forums.

The kind words actually brought a happy tear to the eye(I can be a big sook at times ?), and it couldn't have come at a better time...

You'll see a lot more of me shortly, and if all goes well there will be some forward progress on my little bit of mischief that's been too quiet for too long...

I'm back! ?

    • 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.
    • 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.
