it looks fairly expensive for something that's not even a proper radar detector... it relies on a database of known speed camera location (that is, if someone bother maintaining & updating the database continuously) and using GPS let you know if you are approaching any known location....

It wont know if any cops decided to park their car at a side road and start using their radar.... unless they are always at the same spot 24/7 and someone put information abt that place in the database...

Not only u need to turn it off, you had to plug it off and hide it quickly as well, and dun let your ciggy lighter left open coz that will raise suspicion... any how after u've done all that, if they suspect you they can always search the car and find it, then you'll have to pay the hefty fine.

Speaking of ciggy lighter, my one is missing, which is not good actually. Not that I smoke, but I just dun feel like leaving my car ciggy lighter plug with nothing in it. Looks dodgy like having a radar detector somewhere in the car. I can't seem to find any replacement in K-Mart Auto/Repco... Guess have to go to nissan dealer n order one from them?

You can certainly buy a novelty Nismo cig lighter or something, but I couldn't justify buying one of those. Very ricey.

Does a radar detector have to be mounted on your dash (line of sight?). I read in another thread someone's detector not only picked up radar traps but police cars too! How can it do that line of sight of the police car isn't emitting anything? (except radio waves - which isn't line of sight)

go buy those little torches that recharge when plugged into the lighter hole.... they ALWAYS come in handy!

i dont smoke either so thats what i got for it... dont remember where i put it tho... got such a bad memory.

funny thing is i lost my phone again... im too scared to look under the seat again to give myself a little more credit as to loosing it there again :) its been missing for like a week now :cool:

I just checked out that site and had a quick glance at the nismo stuff. Is it just me or is nismo stuffy totally over priced???? i mean heres a prime example: a "nismo" cap the same as any other cap around however with the word nismo on it can sell for $89.00????? how can this be. ]

And I thought airport food was expensive

    • @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.
