Was a great drive today

Pity about some bikes trying to kill themselves while others were on a go slow but apart from that a good day all round

Was good to put faces to names and meet some new people

Benji needed to change his pants after getting a drive of a 33 GTR

Carmen and I had a good day, would have loved to have had the 34 out today but was amazed how well the lil GTI held its own in the twistys...

As Martin said, idiots on bikes and slow drivers were a downfall but the day was awesome!

I now understand why Top Gear loath caravans too!!

Oh and thumbs up to the HWP for doing the right thing and target speed and not the cars themselves...

just got home.

very tired.

had a great day.

sorry to the emo guys for the smoke on the way home.

need to sort that out.

So good to see the beast out and then back home safe buddy! Always good to see ya! Oh and well done for remembering the name tag ;)

Yeah I was very surprised none of them even took a second look, not complaining!

Great bunch of people on the cruise. Thanks to Martin for letting me tag along as passenger.

Just a bit of shame some people mover vehicles ahead of us were driving extra slow and holding us up.

Lol..yeah, agreed.

Big thankyou to Owen for letting me briefly pilot the R33 GT-R.....absolutely phenomenal vehicle.

Yeah, the first HWP seemed to just be admiring all the nostalgia going past.... which was pretty cool.


Wicked day, awesome turn-out, lots of laughs and some very beautiful cars.

Terry's Evo 8 MR - laughs at the sound of harleys, freaks out at the sound of RB's :)

Uploaded pics now, i'll post them soon

Perfect day for a cruise today; awesome weather, a heap of brilliant cars, and a tasty shnitzel!
It was great to see a huge line of Skylines doing what they do best.

Great to meet a bunch of new people, forgotten almost everyone's names already.

Thanks to Terry for the opportunity to pilot your beautiful new Evo; seriously impressive for a standard car. :wub:

    • @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.
