What a wicked ride! And sensational photos Franks! Also, nice spot for the photos again, gotta hunt you down and make you take photos of my ride when I get it :(

Damn damn damn damn, I can't wait until they tell me my Silver S2 has been bought and is on the ship!#!@!@!!#!!#!$ (I think it'll be very late December / early January though :D)

The FMIC looks mean as hell... where did she get the car may I ask?

Nice. Did Moanie do any mods herself? Or was it as imported?

The aft mkt guages above the stereo look wicked.

The guy who scouts the cars @ auctions left for Japan today.. he was in Aust on a holiday (damn slackers! hehe). So tomorrow I suppose he starts looking for my car..

Just like Moanie's, but completely stock.

Cheers,

Tim

inark - don't worry...the dice were the first thing to go....it was just a left over from my cruisey 'rolla days :( And the 17s are on the way....once i recover financially :(

Timmy G...i'd love to take credit for my new ride...but i imported it fully modified....i wasn't prepared to lose my car for weeks at a time, just waiting for the mods...as it is, i waited 3 months for this car....i couldn't handle anymore time apart :D The only thing i did do was get an safc :(

Definitely worth the wait! My car was the first one i seriously looked at...that was in the first few days of looking....i didn't get the car though...the guy pulled it out or something....it came back the next week and I bid and got it!!! very very lucky! :(

Hahahaha....i wuz told 2 months max....but theres always issues...my main one was waiting for the boat to leave japan...it took forever...and then my car got delayed in melbourne cause it had to get quarantined cause it was on the docks in japan for ages! But she's here now! :D

Damn that was so lucky!! So did you get it for a better price than the first buyer who fell through?

I am buying mine from a place in Manly Vale, NSW. They had one coming in which was PERFECT, and I asked them to tell me when it came in so I could check it out. Anyway I came in between time, and I asked about it.. and the guy said someone had put a deposit down on it (without seeing it)!!!

I was a little peeved. Apparently the guy had been looking for 2 months and was looking for I think a 96 GTS-T, black with a sunroof and <30,000kms! I am hoping he passes this one up cos the guy said he was really fussy.. and if he does, I'll have mine ASAP!!!!! But I'll wait until Dec 3rd when my final exams finish :burnout:

PS. the car that was coming in that I liked is at www.timgriffin.com/skyline/ .. it's the first two pictures (with the Nismo chin).

fmd!!!! Its got a sunroof!!! I'm gonna be jealous of that sunroof ;)

I lost the bid the first time around...i think the guy selling wasn't happy with the price...so the second time i bumped my bid up...and voila! I got a car :)

If you really want the car...maybe you should go and check it out and offer to buy it on the spot?!? Would they let you do that?!?! Full price has got to be better than a deposit?!?! Especially if the other guy is taking his sweet time deciding....there has to be some sorta time limit?!?!

    • @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.
