Any one after a nice, automatic GTS4 coupe? I have one in the rare dark blue. 1989 R32, freshly imported with full rego (unlike the race import someone is trying desperately to sell in Launceston - telling punters it can be registered!) 89000km with 6 months rego. I'm looking for around $14000, but this is a zero rust car, as opposed to all the junkers that are coming in now that the end of the 15 year rule is nigh. Car is in Launceston but will travel for a serious looker.

I know what you mean. Don't come south a lot anymore, used to live in Hobart though. If you are genuinely interested I will travel, could meet you part way or something like that? I have sent you a p/m and also an email.

btw, this is the 5spd manual, not the 4spd Auto?

*edit: Also, these have an electronically controlled 4WD system... how does that work..?

No this is the automatic. I have driven both manuals & autos before, the auto is super smooth and great as an everyday driver. 3 different shift modes, try it out and you may well be suprised at how nice it is!

My limited understanding is that it's an 'on demand' 4wd system with some sort of G force sensor that tells the car when 4wd may be needed. Presumably there'd also be some sort ofsystem that applies 4wd if one of the driving wheels loses traction too. Of course I say 'limited understanding' and don't profess to be an expert, hopefully someone will either correct me and/or provide an accurate description of how it works. Other posts I've read say it's the same system as the GTR.

Stock except for a 3 inch Apexi exhaust with big end can and 4 inch tip. Tyres have a lot of life left (unlike most recent imports), balance of 6 months rego, Xenon gas driving lights, dark blue, zero rust (again unlike a lot of imports), the spare has never been used, and when I lifted it out of the boot it looked as though it had never even been moved in 16 years!

$1432 from Tassie to Brisbane by Patrick logistics. Of course the other option is fly down (fares are cheap and there are direct flights) drive it home on the Spirit of Tassie from Devonport to Sydney then road trip to Brisbane from there.

    • @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.
