Are these dream boats Australian? If so consumer law and social media are on your side

It's out of warranty so they can probably charge me whatever it costs to fix... Maybe they'll be nice given it seems to be a common issue, but we'll see.
They sound pretty Asian, but they've got an Australian office if that's what you mean..

Warranty doesn't mean much in Australia anymore - consumer law is now what the consumer reasonably expects the product or service will last for, hence a lot of businesses will bend over for faulty goods that aren't your fault. That and it's not worth the publicity in the age of social media for a couple hundred dollars.

Don't forget to update your "homebase" waypoint if you go mobile or camping with it. Guy we were with was about to pick his drone up at the end of a flight and low battery hit so it took off again and returned to the last waypoint a kilometre or so back where we came from.

Also I beat a drone in a rolling drag

I'll have another look for the receipt today, but if I can't find it they can blow me. I can't see them trying to weasel out of something that seems to be a pretty common problem for their laptops, and that shouldn't happen. Kunce should give me a new one for my inconvenience too

interesting.. certainly not reflected in our business financial hardship would be lucky to represent 1% of our sales and we are the #1 agency here

The implications in the article were that as rates rise, they are going to be some of the suburbs that are hit hard. They weren't saying that they are already having to get out or default.

time will tell.. seems unlikely though - The median individual income is $849 per week and the median household income is $1986 per week. The median rent in Point Cook is $350 per week and the median mortgage repayment is $2200 per month.

 

possibly slightly outdated but regardless does seem overly financially stressful. 

Gross income... Take $10k per person tax and you have $1600 pw or $6,900 pm. less say $3,500 pm living expenses for a family with 2 kids & the aforementioned mortgage payment of $2,200 and you have a $1,200 pm surplus, while rates are sitting at ~4%.

Bump the rates to 6% and that surplus is reduced to ~$400 pm. That's only one unexpected bill away from $0. Not to mention this doesn't take into account car finance, personal loans, credit cards etc etc etc.


Meanwhile, in Narre Warren...

This is post-underquoting laws. Apparently comparable properties for a fully renovated 4 bedroom house means three shitholes with one less room or one less car space / no garage that sold 4+ months ago. Note the aerial shot used to hide any useful view of the property in question.

100 people turned up to this inspection and 72 contact details were taken. 13 offers submitted. When he called me for an offer he said it was already up to 555 and blamed the massive attendance on the owner tidying up the property a bit at the last minute.

Think I'll report the f**kers

    • @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.
