Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.

really, really, really, really, really hope so mate. Ive been really depressed with it all lately :/

Its getting there man, it really is. When you build something you spend the first few months just going through it finding the weakest link all the time. Its better to find an ECU issue now than find it halfway up a hill in the middle of no where!

I know everyone who hasn't gone through a major exercise is always on you case about when you will get it back and how you should have it back and this makes you feel like the whole thing is a disaster....but builds gonna be bitches like this and to me its all gone pretty much to the recipe! All you can do is laugh (and cry a little), and know it will be good in the end.

Whats not to like, I earn money, no managers in today, I have field work later so the day will go fast, I get to put in my overtime forms earning me a few hundred more dollars. Beats sitting at home being unuseful!

See Monday is the day I have painful people to deal with and painful stuff to do and almost guarentee something goes wrong on a Monday!

I have the chilliest day today. It's a beautiful day, I get paid and I get to work on the river. Best Monday ever!! Ohh also got to see the sunrise, that's was pretty wicked

If I had a day like that I would like it

This is true. Better to get the ECU sorted out now as you said.

Hopefully Haltech get back to EFI soon, but I have a feeling that this is going to take quiet some time........................and even then................................. who knows what there gonna say (thats what worries me most)

Friday is my shite day, some times literally, if it can go wrong it will go wrong on a Friday.

Yeah it is a bit of a worry but hopefully its just a firmware update and away you go

Friday is generally pretty cruisy for me but if something chooses to be painful it is insanely painful!

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
