Last taxi i got (not including maxis)
was mid last year, pre paid fares from tramp to mine, was on nepean highway through moorabbin and it broke down
No refund, no other taxis book for a free ride home
Yeah cool m8

this one time we got a maxi cab from somewhere in hawthorne to crown.. dude kept asking us if we had weed or eccies, anyway we end up at crown, the faire was something like 40 bux or something, we give him a $100 bill, he gives us back $120 change.....

350-400, 16000 i think.
Rowville, over 25.

That with Shannons?

I'm about $800 for 20k...wonder if it's much different vehicle to vehicle?

Yeah. 10% cams discount, multi-policy discount. I don't think I've got the 3 year no claim discount (f**kers).
It might be closer to the 500 mark but defs less than 600.
Market value for the car is like 3500 lol so all the rest is mods.

Mine with Famous for 35k was something like $100 per annum for laid up cover. Effectively nothing.

They are probably on VWL and know that no one is ever going to steal it.

$1k for $12,000
Under 25 no previous insurer
Listed mods
In moorabbin


Just car

12K value laid up cover? Dude their third party fire and theft is like $400 with 10k of theft value :/

what is laid up cover what happens if you crash it on the road? 

1k seems steep if it's just garage cover.. why not just get 3rd party fire and theft? 

hell my fpv is like 1k for full comp at market value

Hmmm don't think I got the cams discount - will call to investigate

Got contents with them so multi policy discount

Also get very limited use like a couple of times a year so test drives should be covered

Still feels hefty though. Could nearly get Just Cars full comp for $1000 a year. The $200 excess with shannons is nice though.

No coverage at all if driven on the road.
Car fully insured when being transported (truck or trailer) and fully covered if at at a workshop and something was to happen.
Plus full coverage if stolen (obviously).

So to me it's got a bit more than fire and theft, but no 3rd party if driven. I don't get any days on the road, nada. I had to pay 3 days worth of full comp when it was running in November lol

    • @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.
