Yes correct, i can data log via plugging into connector above LHS kick panel. This is how i know about O2 sensor lean code.

in that case you cant possibly have kalmaker as it kalmaker wouldnt be able to datalog through a cable from that connector. have a look at your memcal. does the eprom have the silver sticker on it still? does it look to have been tampered with? what is the code on the silver sticker, or if it isnt there can you post a photo of the memcal?

I'm Geelong based, so a little bit too far away.
If you can pull the ECU and remove the memcal and get a photo with the blue cover removed may be able to at least look and see if it appears to be modified. Ie. is the standard chip still fitted with the broadcast code sticker.
Also check the blue cover for any stickers.

dyno in my opinion is not really ever necessary, but it doesn't make some tuning aspects easier, and definately for tuning spark i would prefer a dyno.

but to get the basic tuning happening and fix your lean issue you can do it on the street with a laptop and some time

correct no knock sensor. you need the white board for knock sensing to work.

so its definitely been tuned, so it could be any number of different types of code on it at present. so its back to the earlier suggestion by holden202, you need to crack it into an eprom reader and get the bin off it, identify it, then you can start trying to play from there.
