your worried about a commodore that crashed after trying to show off to a skyline? he was probably yelling shit out the window and not watching where he was driving :rolleyes:

no offence to any commodore drivers of course, but with the general attitude of some of them towards me on the road I wont lose any sleep tonight over it :)

or he could have been just trying to happily cruise along with the rest of you, accidentally drop his ciggie on his leg and burn it, take his eye's off the road and write off his pride and joy which he's spent all his time and effort on. People who drive commodores are no different to us, they're car enthusiasts as well.

If he was a car enthusiast, he wouldn't be smoking in his pride and joy :P

I know what your saying but I was on the highway at the same time and I know what he was doing....

Amen to that :cheers:

More likely some Skyline driver was next to him going VROOM *ptscht* and the Commo driver looked over and missed the 100kph to 0kph lockups that happen so frequently and took the option of bailing out to the side instead of arsing some other poor pricks car.

hmm no thats not what happend...but maybe some other time it is. I dont think its appropriate to exactly explain what happend but it was the m1, late on a saturday night and there were alot of cars out doing things other than driving normally....the commo was doing something to perhaps entice the skyline...then proceeded to do something other than drive safely, he lost controll and thats what happend...bad luck, i think thats the end of it.

I have had "some" experience with the M1 Fun Club Matt :cheers:

not saying you havent, just trying to state what happend...without using to much detail, i think its obvious what happend and I cant say I feel sorry for him. If I crashed from doing the same thing then I wouldnt expect anyone to feel sorry for me. Its his own stupidity..bad luck, typical it was a commodore...if it was a skyline we would have seen a 7 o'clock special on the news

So why is it some big secret as to what he/she was actually doing at the time?. It's not like it is classified information. Or is it?

because we're not allowed to talk about it on the forums as what he was doing illegal, i think you know what happend though...its nto to hard to figure out lol :(

But the person who did it does not belong to SAU Qld nor is the owner of this forum legally responsible for what some tosser does on the road.

So there is no reason why you can't tell, if anything it is educational as it explains what not to do.

    • 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.
