people steal cars at events now?

Nah a while ago there was a R34 Meet, and they got very precious about it.

when a few other people said they might come along the organizer stated they were going to have Private security to make sure only R34 GTR's were allowed in the car park.

 

it's a "long" running joke now.

hahaha sounds like an idea the "leet" crowd would entertain in their minds... thanks for the explanation

So@emts how did your Mrs deal with you being away all the time? Did you manage to keep up with house maintenance etc?

Looks like I'll be working rural for majority of this year (again)

Planning on moving house in a few months too. Not sure what I'm gonna do with the cars... Gloria is reliable and cruisey, drove it for around 4 days over the holidays. Was good. I don't want to give up on the pulsar but I keep paying rego and cbf/not enough time to tinker with it and diagnose. Even getting it taken to workshops to be fixed is a huge hassle. If I chuck it into storage and stop paying rego, it'll never get RWC, even if eligible for club reg. I could do ultimate dodgy and swap VIN's etc and there seems to be lots of illegal import cars floating around (civics/legacys/integras) but probably won't end well.

Just sell it, no point throwing away rego money / insurance if youre not using it. You've got another cool car anyway.

1.26 for bp98 today fuark. Mirin.

Edited by UNR33L

Not selling pulsar, I ain't gonna quit on it. Got too many goodies and good pulsars are already hard to find, let alone in the future. Its a great car, it just doesn't get the time and effort it deserves.

 

I want to "finish" the gloria, just need some wheel work and suspension arms.

I just had an account with jim's, so they came and took care of everything.

it's hard now with so much to do, but slowly rolling out automated watering with new plants.

 

the mowing is killing me, need to get a small tractor I think, it's just too much for a domestic ride on.

 

anyhow best get back to complaining about the cold weather.

This has always put me off owning big bits of land.

Maybe. They still get sick? And eat clothing?

Don't know, maybe don't leave any tailored suits out in the paddocks and you should be right. As for sickness, I can only say she'll be right.

Seems I should check my commonwealth bank savings account interest rate more often.... 0.5%? what a fuggen joke.

so moving savings (that isnt going into shares) to bankwest (which is owned by commonwealth) for 2.6%. Good times.

I presume that's just an introductory rate or similar? 2.6% is trem deposit rates.

Nope, as long as I deposit at least $200 a month and make no withdraws. If neither conditions are met it defaults to 0.01%, but can be brought back to 2.6% if conditions are met the next month. Calculated daily.

    • 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.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
