Well NIZ30. When I have some new tyres I'll take you out one thursday night and show you. It's not usually just at one place because of police attention. I only go out for a little while on Thursday nights and every Saturday night.

Although this saturday night nothing is happening because of Indy and the fact that all the roads are blocked off.

I will let you know when I go out again and tag you along :D Get you to meet some of the cruise scene people. I only introduce you to the nice ones...

And Nismo_Boy.. as your you. You don't even have you license so how do you know you wont be like that? And, I'm not saying all of them are like that.. just the majority.

This was my initial thought too. But everyone seemed to doing this so I thought they must have some experience here and realise police mustn't be in the area. If they had speed cameras there at about 11 to 1 at night there would be many import drivers without a licence. In my couple of weeks of cruising at these times I have yet to see a skyline driver not race down this road.

Upon saying this, advice noted.

002 NVS perhaps you could get it checked by 3 different places and have readouts of it and dispute it? its quite a lot of effort to go to just to dodge a defect, and i suspect they were just lookin for the other 2.

isnt it something like they have to have 3 items to defect you on to fine you for it? im not sure, im only goin on whats been said to me, and ya never know really :P

guess the moral is carry one of those silencers round and shove that in the pipe when you go to places like roma st or something perhaps? take it out when you leave or something

????

    • 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.
