I can only relate a story that came from the guy I bought my car off.

One day in sunny down town Campbelltown NSW (sorry Ben) a guy was standing beside the car for over an hour and when Brian got back to the car this guy said to him, "I know what it is, but it's different, but I can't see where" and when it was pointed out that it only had 2 doors, the guy sheepishly left the scene.

But I love the idea, the fact that all these dumass bastards that think they're the proverbial expert, (and we all know what an expert is) when it comes to cars.

I think it's quite amusing and look forward to the day when I can stick it up some of these young so called experts.

Pretty much every dickhead that comments on my car calls it a bloody R31.  If I'd wanted something softer I would have bought a GTS or GTS-X, but I went for the harder edged '30, but no-one seems to see the difference

Don't worry mate, I see the difference. One thing I get with my r31 is people coming up to my car complimenting it, then saying to me "this has got the VL engine in it doesn't it?" so I just turn on the car and let the wastegate open. It get's on my nerves after the first 20 times :)

Ben, yeah thank christ mine doesnt have the stickers :)

:Oops:

haha, I'm a bit of a ricer at heart. I've got the 24 valve ceramic turbo on the side of mine.

i'll be putting the gts-t badges on mine at some point just to confuse people even more, half the car is r32 anyway.

Which half Matt???

The RB20DET is from an R32, but the gearbox is identical to that in an HR31 and everything else is either a/mkt or DR/HR30.

Do you have a problem with the stock GT badges?

Whats broken now?

Nothing's broken on it, i just want it to be painted/straight again, and i was getting quotes to get my ecu/injectors/pump installed and ecu tuned and quotes on fixing my clutch....I hate cars :)

Josh can i ask what workshop that was son?????

Sorry guys, but this is the only sticker on the side of my car and the GT guard badges.

How much confusion can this create?

engine, brakes some s-13 bits with that too,master cylinder, booster, radiator and i think the tail sharft thats enough for me. Even though its a hr30, the dr front means i have the RS badges on mine :headspin:

AS A MATTER OF INTEREST

If they were readily available, how many would buy new badges from this range?

hahahaha, if you ever want to sell it.........

sell it to someone who thinks it an r31 and say it's a "limited edition" only 4 made.

sell it for 20g's :thumbsup:

    • @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.
