Lol.

When I sold my GTR the guy came over from SA, and drove it back nek minit in a few months was back on carsales for 5k more than he bought it off me for.. not sure if he wanted to try and make money or realized it was a bit rusty.

My pay has been super inconsistent this FY so should see a healthy return. Should cover the bill Havoc is going to foot me next week for the pulsar. One of those proper GTR-style, open-chequebook, ass-raping, "just get it done" type of operations.

(Though anything is cheaper than a $900 racepace catch can)

But I though the things happening now were my fault?

For the purposes of this story, yes, of course.

Never missed a beat when I had it. I would consider another evo TBH

I've got one if you're interested.

I'd let it go for a grand less than I bought it for... 'Mates Rates' and all that.

Come at me tax return.. last year had to pay 2.5k with capital gains taxes on shares :( (comm bank, not 88e, do I claim a loss with 88e this year? :P)

Then it's intercooler time :D

I'm due for capital gains. And yes, if you made a loss on shares then claim a capital loss so that it offsets future gains. You can carry forward the loss as long as you keep reporting it each year.

Sold my shares so I could write down a loss, will buy back in EOFY.

Next year start your own charity foundation and funnel money into the local footy team?

Year after that start family trust and funnel money into that?

Stick it to the man, yo

Seems like a lot of work, all for a measly few cents x 10^8

Think I'll just find myself an old rich woman to marry.

Unrelated, does anyone know how to disguise the taste of arsenic? I'm asking for a friend.

Strychnine = fairly tasteless and odourless

I actually recall a story of someone who was being poisoned by their spouse, and because the doses were so low initially, they built up something of an immunity to the particular poison and by the end of it (think they actually survived) the dose they were receiving was enough to kill a horse.

nek minit in a few months

Oh HELL no... i know the previous owner

f**k me got this project to do at monash uni, gotta do a 1 hour video induction with interactive questions before I can start work on site :\ no skip button :(

pfft noob

just mute volume. go do something else, come back. repeat. if its a well-designed test you can flick back through previous slides.

I know someone who outsourced their job to India, kept themselves on the payroll and basically passively/lazily worked it - IT related job so they didn't have to be onsite most of the time anyway. They got caught eventually though lol, those outgoing calls to and from Mumbai add up...

Speaking of IT kunce, are any of you/them normal?
Been working at a large data centre since Jan and the amount of f**kin weird f**ks that come in there is astounding. It'd be easier to count the normal-ish ones.

RE: capital gains and losses, clearly I've experienced plenty of the latter...Can you actually claim that as a loss at tax time? Was under the impression you had to pay on gains but just bend over and cop the loss, in typical government rape fashion.

You can claim it as a loss but it doesn't offset your income tax as it's a separate tax to it.

So what happens is, in future if you make a profit (capital gain) on something like property or other shares, the tax you would ordinarily have to pay on that profit can be negated by any losses from previous financial years.

You basically take the loss in the ass until you make a profit and then the loss becomes useful.

Let's say you lose $2k on 88E in one financial year and make 800k on selling your house in another financial year, say 5 years from now, if you kept carrying the loss forward then you won't have to pay capital gains on 2k of your 800k profit.

    • @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.
