After grieving his losses with two separate and substantial share investments, dezz decides to mourn by way of purchasing a severely depreciating asset

Might start my sparky apprenticeship soon

  • Like 2

black is a lot of work. dont recommend unless the fastidious type.

the gloria is a piece of work. i cant even close the bonnet properly withour leaving fingerprints or imperfections.

Only if you give a shit about the sheer phaggotry of having pristine paintwork 100% of the time

it's a work ute / jetski tow rig / depreciating assett

I have a black Xtrail and DGAF

But if you DGAF then it will not look pimping as dezz desires it to be. If it's going to get dirty then just get a colour that still looks good when it's not super clean.

Like that navy blue or dark green Holden do on the VFs.

Also, not all sparkies are well off. A lot are struggling. Not the ones I f**king work with though. True definition of 1st world problems. Fighting over 20mins of travel time and milking jobs for OT even though some of them are lucky to be on the job at all.

Then find out some of them are ex-desal. Not f**king surprised.

it's a car. Cars get dirty. This is life

I've got the skyline on the front lawn at the moment, running just fine.

It's the dodgy evo I bought that is having issues and is up on stands in the garage atm. Was pulling the brembos off the front on Sunday night to swap to new rotors and pads, only to discover that the previous owner or previous-previous owner had munted the thread on the bottom caliper mounting bolt hole.

So there was nothing I could do but slowly and painfully remove the bolt, crying about doing more damage to the caliper.

can confirm "previous-previous owner"

I didn't own it long enough to change pads lol

You strike me as someone who buys new vinyls at the record store and doesn't listen to them because by the time you get home they've already been out for too long

over the years I bought a LOT of records that I never played

Well... this is the current state of the passenger front rotor, it started making a bit of noise so a few weeks later I eventually decided to change the pads and rotors.

Who can spot the issue?

    • 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.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
