Morning all

Gt6?

that and GW2

If bored, and speaking of VW's, jump on youtube and search race taxi.

You are welcome

Is that the split window kombi with porsche engine? if so, it is epic

hey everyone! what's been happening?

I'm no longer a skyline owner but still have something Jap, i Bought a brand new Yamaha XJ6N. Its much better than the car for commuting to work.

I will have a post up soon with some of the left over parts you all might be interested in buying.

I too have some bits and pieces to get rid of

f**ked my back installing brake switch stopper rubbers In my bluebird this arvo. 2hrs is too long to be upside down with a reverse kink in your back

Did a brake booster on my old hand me down Camira.....I know the feeling, next time remove drivers seat.

Morning all.

It's Friday :)

tis indeed.

I am still considering offloading mine. I occasionally get get exited but 90% of the time I couldn't care less and it just sits there undriven. I am no longer interested in track stuff so really it is the wrong car for my interests.

Got a Mazda 3 in today 2009 model

She has had it from new

Had it serviced at 1800

20000

50000 and it's now up to

Wait for it

90000

They are ment to be serviced every 10000

It had about half a liter of oil in the sump

it ain't that difficult Bunts!

It can be, but thats because I have always been buying secondhand cars, so you want THAT particular car, I guess with new it is easier because you can get exactly the same thing elsewhere.

There was a kluger at the mechanics next door to work. Owners purchased it brand new. Had close to 200000kms on it in and was about 2.5 years old. Never had a service or any fluids checked. Engine seized up because no oil and the owner wanted Toyota to fix it under warranty haha

will you be buying new or second hand this time round?

Costs me half as much to insure the new car as the wedge. For about 2.5x the value and for regular use instead of 'once or twice a week'.

F*ck skylines.

No, I'm not selling the wedge :P

sell it and buy a VW beetle

We had one exactly the same at the old shop I used to work at

Except he had the 1000 check over done and thought that was it. Cars didn't need servicing to run

    • @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.
    • 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.
