this is great :)

I thought I was the only person who went through this - I know exactly where you are all coming from.

I park in the last spot in the carpark at work b/w a wall and a long column, or try to park away from all of the cars at shopping centres.

I was sick of my old car (laser tx3 turbo) getting banged up all the time by d*ckheads - people with no respect for other peoples cars is MY PET HATE!!!!!!!!

hey akeenan, where abouts in melb do u work?

the worst are people who don't respect their car and who definitely don't respect other peoples cars, i see some ppl in their shiat box (and sometimes expensive cars) just rip it into the parking and then open their door wide without worry about knocking the car parked next to them. i hate getting dents on the door from other ppl..

I take the rego numbers of the cars parked next to me. If there's any paint from there doors on my car, I'll find who they are.

thats a good idea. i gonna try that... prolly write down the colour of their car aswell just in case they leave any paint behind.

heres a few golden rules i live by when parking.

1.) whenever it is possible park next to a garden, pole whatever limit the number of people who can park next to you.

2.) If there are no garden/pole/whatever spots avaliable park as far away from every other car as possible.

3.) make people aware at work/at school that a particular parking spot is urs so they dont park in it..

ive done this and now people leave me certain spots wether im at school or at work.

4.) Make a friend park next to you, this is what I do at school, I park next to the garden spot and my friend parks next to me!

5.) whenever it is possible take a parents car :(

thats about it...

oh I kinda work at chadstone mcdonalds.....argh :) , but also at a bottlo as well

The ONLY time that we've parked the Skyline in a shopping complex (saw a movie) was when we parked it in the corner, right against the wall, and parked a friends Barina right in front of it so it was hard to see, and you'd have to steal both cars to get the Skyline :)

my girlfriend tends to get alittle pissed cos i dont always take the first available spot at shopping centers, im a choosy person and wont just park next to anything, even if im only going to be 5mins :(

need to be next to a pole or someone with a nice ride (even another skyline for that matter)

see, if u park next to a (even a light modded car), theyll respect your car as much as their own and will try not to wacktheir door onto your car

or even someone that looks as though they just bought a new car :) rare, but theyre out there

haven't had any trouble with car door dents, but last time i was in a shoping centre i was in the only half hour and came out and my boot badge was gone!!!!! in full daylight and rite out the front near the doors, alot of people have NO respect these days:cuss:

Woooaahh.. Look what i started :)

Its a bit hard to find a nice car to park next to where i live (Backward hill billy mother F@#U#$C@$K SHITHOLE) where a nice car consists of a VL commodore with 17" wheels and an exaust..

So when they see my R33 with 18" crome wheels they get PISSED off that they cant afford something like that and do shit to my car..

I should install a PC with some camera's on all angles of the car to go off on motion. How cool would that be ?

This is how stupid and how backward they are...

They would probly leave the PC and just steal the lose change in the console once they realise it has a hardcore imobiliser

Last time i was in shopping centre car park i was backing into by a 4WD.. $2000 later ( thank god it wasnt my fault) and thats the last time i take the skyline to a shopping centre..Usually i take the sukzuki .. but if i really have to.. I used the park next to a pole or park far far away deal..

Cheers

    • @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.
