How do you progress through the three AutoSalon competitions? Is it all based on public voting? How many cars go through?

It seems as though you could make the FINAL BATTLE by taking a stock R33 Skyline and adding a set of scissor doors. Pretty much every R33 there had a set. Did I miss out on a group buy or something?

only the invitational cars which are in the final battle can be awarded the distinct trophies, and be in the running for god of auto salon etc, everything else is open to anyone who enters such as "dare to be different", and the make awards such as "neat nissan" etc

there are judges that decide the awards but then u have peoples choice etc, which is done by an sms voting by spectators...

Sure it wasnt an RVR Richard?

am I sure it wasn't an RVR? why I outta... :slap: !!! cheeky bugger.

check it out:

it was worth going to SAS just to see this! Imagine tootling down to the shops in a 300hp AWD nimbus. yee-ha!

whilst there I also spied toshis MR2. It's changed a little since I last saw it. I can't put my finger on what it is that he's changed though? hmmm maybe it's the clear indicators or is it the two 15inch subwoofers sticking out through the bonnet?

glad you like it Richard :(

I had a vision one night and decided that full bling factor was the way to go.

lol. respect!

Were you working @ the powerplay stand or just there for spectating?

    • @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.
