Thursday night. After a long day at work (still in my office clothes).

Just driving my 10 yr old to her dance class. My wife was also in the car. Just going through our normal routine. All of a sudden a siren and flashing blue from behind. I pull over. Two cops come out. One Aussie, one of Asian background. Pull out my license. I wind down my window and ask the young Aussie officer "What have I done wrong officer?" The officer hesitates a bit (maybe surprised that it wasn't the kind of person he expected driving the "hotted up" nissan turbo coupe) and smilingly says "Oh it's nothing sir just a random breath test-could you pop up the bonnet for me please".

Breath test clear.

Asian cop inspects the engine bay. Clear. They go to the side of the car and check the clearance between the tyre and fender. Clear. One cop goes behind the car while the other asks me to rev the engine up to 4,000 rpm (I've got a full 3.5" HKS system with a cannon tip). Clear! Asian dude is not satisfied. He begins to quizz me about the blockout window beside the driver's door. I said "what!". Aussie officer pulls him away and says to me "have a good night sir, you can go". They speed off into the night in their XR6 cop car slightly breaking traction.

My time wasted. Their time unwisely spent. Great!

The interesting thing about this, is how are 20 year old drivers THAT different to drivers your age (assume 30's) ?

You cant generalise all skyline drivers into the same category. You also shouldnt generalise all 20 year old drivers as 'hoons'

ITS OK I CAN HANDLE THAT STIGMA =)

neway did you see they are thinking of handing out H plates now for people caught doing quote "hoon acts" no s**t !!! :confused:

thats like a medal dont you think people will be trying to get them <---- and i know sorry

Toby doesn't generalise that all younger drivers are hoons, although he might get that impression from hanging around me too much :P

It is a shame that skylines and import drivers are targeted in particular, and what was meant by the post is that not all drivers of these vehicles are hoons but normal citizens going about there own business and the police wasting their and our time with frivolous attempts at revenue raising.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      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.

      spot the stagea

      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.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
