Hi Nathan, I'm going to wildly guess that your last name is Wong, funny because I have a friend named Nathan Wong...who has a S15 but no GTR ahha.

Great looking car, what mods are on it? Which part of Sydney are you in? members will definitely say hi with a wave, or a flash!

yeah looks like your headlights got nice and chopped up during compliance. random stab in the dark but if you can afford a GTR i think you might be able to afford this: go and get custom projector headlights off EVOXENON (just google him, or look on facebook) - he does these very VERY nice custom headlights. or you could have a go at doing them yourself - buy the morimoto projector headlight kits!

At work atm but will defs check it out, so these are the whole headlight arnt they, not just ballast and globe? Might not go to that much of a hassle =/ might just get a hid kit xD if I get the custom headlight the adjustor will still work?

yes they are the whole headlight BUT as i said you can just buy the ballast and globe and put it in yourself (with a bit of modification if you're comfortable with). Not too sure on the headlight adjustor part..does it work now? if so i can't see too much of a problem with why it wouldn't after some customs!

Quick update: Havent dont much with car, just usual wash, but there has been a problem that the previous owner said it would randomly stall, that being said it happened, but whilst I was driving sometimes it didnt want to go no matter how hard I stepped on the accelerator, and when it did stall at the lights, i tried cranking it over and it wouldnt start until i pressed the lock and unlock button on the car remote, we first thought it was the immobiliser, turns out it wasnt, then we thought it was the key barrel cuz the key could be pulled out it was so smooth, so we used the spare keys, problem still persisted, then made me thought, could be this control unit thing that came with the car, so took it down to IS motorsport for indy to look at and he pulled it out and car hasnt done this random stalling and losing power issue again :)

The culprit :)

indy said that the guy who installed it had wrong settings so that would have affected it, so happy car runs normal :) next up is replacing clutch :) asked for a quote on a HD clutch kit with flywheel too, or might stick with OEM, will have to see :)

Until next time

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.

      This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).

      I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.

      You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?

      Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
