Well the skyline went in the trading post today and 4 people had came and looked at it by 4pm and 2 made reasonable offers that im gonna think about so anyway it looks like the skyline will be going sooner than later.

I just wanted to thank everyone fror all their help. Everytime i needed to know something i found help in a matter of minutes on these forums. Special thanks to Jason (V8Skyline Man) for offering to help me out by ofering to do some engine work for me for next to nothing and James (MELV) for taking me for a spin in my first GTR and helping me install gauges.

Thanks everyone for all the cruises which were really fun and i am going to miss alot, and maybe down the track i can join the imfamous liners once again.

beau: you will have best luck on trading post, and carsales for getting people to look at your car. I had luck with both.

I don't think i had one genuine enquiry on here when I went to sell the R33. Most here come to simply to look at the pictures in the trading section, and are not genuine buyers.

Shes sold, hmm, trading post came out at what 6am? sold by 6pm:D. Didnt get what it was advertised for but still happy with it.

Picking up my Datsun 1600 During the week. And yes i know it isnt a ute but it is a really cool little car and i can still throw shit everwhere without worrying about it. Just tossing up now between saving for a ca/sr/or rb engine transplant :D

I sort of stuffed up when i sold it though.

When the bloke (who eventually bought it) came and first looked at it he asked me did i get it sprayed and did i buy the rims and i have no idea why but for some reason i said yes and then straight away thought to myself why did i say that? anyway for the rest of the time i had to go along with saying that i had it sprayed and i bought the rims when in actual fact i bought it like that. Although before anyone else says i lied bla bla bla its the only thing i stuffed up on and have no idea why i said yes in the first place and everything else to do with the car was genuine and true.

    • @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.
