I don't know what's weirder, the fact some guy with 0 posts read 99 pages of esoteric conversation, or the fact we were actually talking about cars

 

its a close call but im gonna go with the 99 pages of reading bs.

Have been exploring for a couple of years but looking seriously now

Have moved from buying dream house to looking at rural land, but now looking at cheap (420k max) mid-sized land / old house or new small townhouse in deep south east, and smash the mortgage on two incomes building equity.

goood luck man its a shit time to buy.

Based on what? Inflated property prices? Lots of competition in the market?

lack of supply and high demand is what is fueling it for us, also major growth corridor and relatively affordable compared to rest of Melbourne. Cranbourne is 40kms from cbd and similar price / demograph to where i am which is only 22kms from cbd..  The whol East / West thing is lost on most people these days its an old fashioned way of thinking most people look for value.

how can there be such a lack of supply when there are just so many new houses going up.

every house sold here has been knocked down to turn into 2-3-4 town houses 

I didn't think our population increasing just that fast?

agreed, in my street alone which only goes upto like number 74 theres like 20+ townhouses getting built

I guess when they go for 700k a pop its worth knocking down their old gold mines

I agree if they keep selling makes sense to build, but with the amount of new housing cannot work out where the lack of supply is.

Cashed up investors buying everything up before the poor fhb can get a foot in. Not to mention foreign buyers...

In Brunswick / Coburg all the old wog shops are being demolished with massive apartment blocks being put up.

The 100yr old pub at the end of the street getting bulldozed and replaced with apartments.

If you demolish all the shops & pubs - then what's the point of living there lol

    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
    • Could be correct. Meter might be that far out. Compare against a known 5 ohm 1% resistor.
    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap.  (edit: I went out and did it right now, the line I had chosen did appear to have no vacuum on it, it used to go to the front of the intake, I've now completely blocked that one off at the bracket that holds several vacuum lines by the firewall.  I T'd into the vacuum line that goes from that bracket to the vacuum pump at the front of the car, but no change in the MAP readings).  Using the new vacuum line that has obvious vacuum on the hose, im still only getting readings between -6.0 and -5.2.  I'm wondering why the ECU was detecting -5.3 when nothing was connected to the MAP nipple and ECU MAP selected as the source. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
