Tangles

love it

my old man was held up with shotgun while on a Monaro test drive, behind adelaide uni near the zoo. one car behind one car (just stolen) in front shotgun in face at drivers side (dad) window, get out, demanded wallets (no wallet from dad, salesman tried to not give it up, not happy ; speed freeks / twitchy) then took off in cars x3 old man bought a Patrol =(

did you score while up there ?

as long as you can still afford a Donkey & ball-point pen, hey GTST ! my quote before should have read "it'd never be easy to tell a customer "Your car is dead - but it wasnt MY (tuners) fault!"'

extra fuel = bigger injectors, or in my case additional injectors (2x 700cc sard on intake manifold, controlled by HKS AIC-4)

hahahaha ! lol Nick not a fan of the front bar, but it does indeed look interesting !

the problem would have been underlying, the engine has had a handful at some stage in its life without a doubt. by starting to tune after getting the car back and doing the oil, the tuner has detected more problems, done a bit more tuning (ie detective work) and pulled it off the dyno when it wasnt looking positive hasnt done anything out of the ordinary as far as I can 'tell' pulling down the motor will explain a lot about the history of this particular engine;- it is highly possible the bottom end has been stressed over the course of its life, and now was simply the time for it to shut-down. it'd never be easy to tell a customer his/her car is dead - but it wasnt his(tuners) fault!

of course, to both of you (Johhny & rbpowa) it's a "thereabouts" to give you a rough indication of whats what. auto / awd, add in manual / rwd factor and neo for S2

bet the cams will sound pretty decent tho ok thats all, its gone now.

and I wanted the f**ken not ttttthe fag bunneh f**k

man soooooooooooooooo miss the stag gd'dmn need a boost fix !

sure you dont want to add Tomei poncams and some head work lol nah, cant comment on that ^ as I havent got my baby back yet, soon my pretties, soon .... for a larger rear housing, turbo off/on etc, labour from shop, id say $600 to supply/replace rear housing?

how did you go with the new Deatshwerks injectors i onsold to you? all ok? going the route of HKS AIC-4 and 2x 700cc sard injectors mounted externally on intake pipe

nah not quite, here are my figures from my car over the past few years series 1 auto awd factory - 100kws tuned in rwd with driveshaft out with pod filter and cat-back exhaust = 115rwkw with safc = 130kw with sitc = 140kw with 040 fuel pump and turbo dump pipe = 160kw with highflow turbo = 180kw with ecu remap = 200kw with poncams & headwork = 220kw ? with extra fuel = 240kw * (? for as in, being tuned now, and * as in next tune)

No, alex rolled the car after going far too hot into a corner went off road and rolled a little he then did a S2 conversion to his S1, to make it the first official S1.5 in Australia, LOL was a good job, took time tho of course Nick, Id suggest getting onto wreckers for a replacement panel, or local quotes to fix that one up (via a re-skin)

no wai ! lol looks like an inbred cousin ----> looks at Toyota's Webnq - there ya go! side panels !

putting any engine on a dyno puts that engine at risk. many factors, temp, tuner, fuel quality / quantity, condition of engine, etc by the sounds of this thread you went there twice with the issue, 1st time having things fixed / replaced (finding metal shaving then?) then again to tune after fixing the broken parts. took time, and tuner said there were still issues (ie death rattle sounds) and you're questioning what went on. is that the jist of it? from all that URAS has posted over the years, Id trust his work. Just one of those things - that we all hope never happen to us, but hear of time and again however Id say trent may regret not being in a little more contact with you in regards to the issues at the time, and whether he should have continued tuning or not. commuication is the key here, however it is (slightly) understandable as workshops are busy busy busy and customer relations can be at the back of the workshops mind. perhaps go back eye2eye, sit down over a lunch break and discuss ALL of what went on, with Trent and whoever else worked on the engine. but as it is, the workshop insurance wont cover you for your losses, as the risk is entirely yours when/if you go on a dyno harsh and sad but truth. its OUR risk as owners to modify / tune cars above and beyond factory specifications. I feel for you, and recommend you go BACK to trent for the rebuild, as Im sure he would look after you 100% in terms of pricing, quality of workmanship etc best of luck with it. my stagea is being tuned atm, headwork etc, and what you're going thru is my worst nightmare !~

to me, sounds like the previous tuner was the one who f**ked your engine, nothing more than a grenade waiting to go boooom with lean afr's bad luck, honestly, and its why I stick to one tuner; so that no-one else f**ks with the tune without having been the one installing the mods in the 1st place. who did the previous tune? ... should be chatting to them IMO, from what Ive gathered from this thread

yeah, I parked the old N15 Pulsar hatch in a tight spot, got parked around, and to get out had to scrape against the side of a wall. ended up pushing the passenger rear door skin right in, ppl pointing and laughing at me - bastards excess was $800 back then for me, so ended up doing a $200 cashy back yard job and got it reskinned and painted good luck mate, but backluck at same time hurts doesnt it

i miss my stagea want her back now bets on dyno queen rwkw figure - I say 230 at 1.1bar this tune (poncams, head) and perhaps 245 next tune (HKS AIC-4 additional injector controller, & Sard intake manifold setup with 2x700cc Sard injectors~ mounts near bov)

wow, thats nice !

lol got a new toy today hks aic, to control 2x700cc sard injectors setup on the intake manifold silly me

ahh, so you're booked in for when I pick mine up. sweet I just received rightnow in my hot little hands: HKS AIC additional injector controller, to control 2x sard 700cc injectors setup on the intake manifold setup

nice

5yrs, might pick up a good buy at $90k with 60th on the clock 7yrs Dec 2015 Id say a 100,000km used R35 GTR might be ~$65k here's hoping... but of course thats relative to the current economic climate
