get a payrise yet or what?

im mindful of that, but its not an issue.

the motor has been ready for many months, waiting for a space in the workshop, i get told to bring the car ASAP and swap with a junked car in their shop... and now how long is it going to sit there? its not like theyre doing it as a favour for me, yet im doing favours for them and offering to do what I can to help.

/rant. frustrated. in a few weeks the motor will have been there for 12 months.

Just call up Frank and tell him you want it in your car asap if the motor is done

Otherwise i can hassle him for you Saturday lol

This week will be my 7th week waiting for my Flex-fuel racepace tune. Not that they haven't been working it, just issues with the nistune and flexfuel tune. Car life

As long as its not your daily and you have other hobbies the wait isnt so bad

my regular presence should be enough of a reminder lol

now is a perfect time to run motor in before next mods, im still waiting to get confirmation on work in WA. then its adios.

This is partly the reason I left my car there, sans engine. (and leave it at other places, too) If it gets in their way then they have to eventually put an engine in it :P

Was going to pick up some R34 GTR wheels for my car this weekend (one of many upgrades coming in the next few months) but it turns out the guy sold them the other day without telling me, even though we had already agreed on pricing and everything. So annoying.

Budget of $2k to spend for wheels and tyres, wondering what I should get now those are gone...

Lucky that. 34r rims look like a bag of dicks only less reasonably priced

you could appease birds: http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/459277-fs-20-lenso-project-d1-wheels-with-tyres-suit-skyline/

or you could go for OEM look: http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/459329-oem-370-rims-tyres/

wont suit the style too much.

you're welcome to my old gloria wheels: nengun-387225-01-nissan-genuine_17-inch_

same as that, but less gutter rash and tyres fitted. 215 or 225, 17" i think. would look better with decent spacers, but your guards would be narrower than mine.

$2k gets you four brand new D1R and half decent tyres to boot

    • @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.
