Yeah I dig the sunroof - that is why I want is so bad!! Well the guy put a grand down a couple of months ago and they have been looking for the whole time. This silver one I showed you was bought by the dealer for their own stock, and now this guy wants them to hold it for them!! ;) They said it's arriving on the 14th (Thursday), so I will go down then or on Friday and check it out. Hopefully he would have been contacted and come in / told them whether he wants it.

If the car is all good and he doesn't want it, it's mine!!!!

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?!?!

basically, anything you see from www.markpakula.com is mark's work and everything from members.optushome.com.au/frankylie is my stuff...

i have known mark for a long time and i have learnt plenty from him...he really knows his stuff, but he should've known better than to post whore here in mona's thread ;P (lucky he had permission ;))

So does that mean the dealer has been looking for a car for that guy? Cause if thats the case you should get them to look for you?!?! Or talk to ice180...i saw some really nice cars while he was looking for me! As for the silver one...maybe you should get in on the deposit game :) Good look with it...it looks like a sweet ride!!!

Btw...are you talking about my gauges?!?! if you are...they're Greddy ones.... :)

Hey Moanie,

Yeah I was talking about your guages.. not the boost guage above the steering wheel though - the one in the centre console.

Yep they will be looking for a car for me.. it's just that the guy who does it was on holiday in Aust - he went back to Japan yesterday, so from today onwards they will be looking. And yep, I've put down a deposit too!

who are those two spunky chicks hahah

nice fotos frankyeee

yep greddy gauges, water, oil temp and exhaust if my memory serves me correctly. car pulled 240kw at the rears when wound down to 1 bar boost it did 220kw. Drives very nice and the horniest exhuast note this side of a GTR...

    • 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.  
    • 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.
