Hi Hamish,

It is a self-shaming photo of a kerb I scraped one of my D1R rims on whilst attending a car meet; my blasé attitude testament to the virtues of owning cheap wheels. 

Needless to say my enthusiasm for navigating tight carparks has been well and truly curbed.

Hi Hamish,
It is a self-shaming photo of a kerb I scraped one of my D1R rims on whilst attending a car meet; my blasé attitude testament to the virtues of owning cheap wheels. 
Needless to say my enthusiasm for navigating tight carparks has been well and truly curbed.

I took the photo :)

You shat a brick thinking you took out your freshly sprayed sideskirt though

I used to pride myself on being able to take better care of my $1000 wheels than people do their $3000 wheels :(

Rest assured, I'll be taking better care of my GTR's wheels

I just assumed the general population were fkin awful at parking, particularly reverse parallel

Just irks me when I see someone selling $3500 LMGT4s or TEs off a $10k car with "slight rash" on "only 3 of the wheels", and practically the whole lip is missing. How the fk do they rash up the ones on the driver side?

Melbourne has the worst multi storey carpark I've ever seen

Hamish will know which one I'm taking about

It's about 8 stories high and can only fit about 18 cars on each level. Thing is a fkin go kart track. You just about have to do 3 point turns to turn up and down its steep ass ramps, with your head out the window to make sure you won't clash with concrete walls covered in other people's bumper paint.

Yeah, my missus mazda 3 is sweet to zoom zoom around the multi level car parks too unlike my hearse of a car..

nice you found a new job? was it you in the IT field as well?  

Not exactly in the IT field but I do use a HP laptop with a docking into 2 screens if that counts as IT.
Gas and energy is where I'm at.

These kind of attacks have been commonplace in the Middle East for decades

Significant increase in Europe over the last 5-10 years

Imported people > imported problems

Whether pro-refugee people want to admit it or not, the problem simply would not exist in these locations if these countries didn't have such open border policies that allow the bad seeds to flow in with the goods

That religion is not compatible with western values

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @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.
