    Anyway of comparing torque figures from 2 different dynos? See attached images. Old graph (Dyno Dynamics), with higher power and lower torque was done 3-4yrs ago using SAFC and SITC. The only change, new graph on Mainlne, was a Nistune, so I could have some proper off boost/part throttle behaviour and smooth out that torque dip (through controlling the inlet butterflies properly). Is there any way to compare the very different torque readings wit the info at hand?

    So, results are in, 192rwkw and 550Nm at 16-17psi - Tuner said mainline almost always reads lower power than dyno dynamics, around 10% or so meaning he pegs this into the low 200s which is odd as the power is 6kw down, but the torque is much higher than previous tune (365Nm) Torque curve looks a lot smoother now too. cams not touched this time, and were previously set for max response. See how it drives and go from there Old graph first . VS New Graphs.

    Car is on the dyno, tuner making progress but ran into an odd fuel cut issue at 4800rpm. Noted that Nistune had launch control set for 4800, but didn't think this was enabled. He is going to talk to Nistune. On the drive back to the office it occurred to me that factory resetting the SAFC may mean it's got the wrong AFM selected and is outputting the wrong voltage as that's still connected. He's calling me back shortly and we'll check that over the phone. Sunday draws ever closer. Car no longer sounds like hektik drift pig anymore either.

    Define fussy? The shocks are just cheapo BCs which only have basic damper control (and are probs too firm at 8kg front 6kg rear). I have them set to max soft all round already.

    Scratch those seats, will just wait till a nice fixed back frp one comes up, after reading about reclining units​ snapping. Also, stop the press. I have a spot for this weekend's track day after some format changes allowed more entries. Tuner said he had done the exhaust and the steering column bush and was confident no issues getting the tune done. Awww yeah.

    Haha

    Should have put a stock 2j in it...

    Not looking good for getting a spot at the track day Was talking with the boys about a test and tune at Winton this month instead, before Winter settles in and it's too wet. There's also a Women's track day coming up on the 17th that my partner showed some interest in. I am looking at rails and passenger seat options to see if we can get a seating arrangement worked out for her as my eat is fully fixed. Forgot I had a solid steering spacer, dropped that off to the workshop this morning. I think GKtech should sponsor me. No update from tuner, but knew he was busy and was not expecting him to start it on Monday as he said. What would you preference be for a cheap passenger seat? This auction is for 2 seats, rails and some mounting brackets. Could sell second seat? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/172686388923?_trksid=p2380057.m570.l5999&_trkparms=gh1g%3DI172686388923.N36.S1.R1.TR4 Or can get this fake Bride for $150 (haven't negotiated yet) and it's local. Comes with drivers rail that I could sell/swap for a passenger one. I'm OK with red as my driver seat is a velo podium (version 1 so not as pretty as V2) in black and red. I've got a velo magnum 4pt harness for the dreiver side, will get something similar for passenger,

    Nice work. Also we have the same jack, because that's what ballers do.

    Everything is better with a partner. Twins for the win [emoji3] But seriously, as person with twins, go single. And as for cams, speak to kelford. There was some cheap L182B on Facebook yesterday...
  11. No Crust Racing
    As someone with a lot of that garbage, I'm not sure you classify plugging shit in as wiring lol.
  12. No Crust Racing
    Wtf is going on lol
  13. No Crust Racing
    Double post.
  14. No Crust Racing
    See how we go. Steering feels little dead in the centre which I think is those high tie rod ends moving in the ball joint before turning the hub. Hoping it feels magic track sidre but in reality so much has changed that I'm prepared to spend most of my time crusing around dialing things in.
  15. No Crust Racing
    New is drug money because discontinued.

    5-6k for a used getrag to hold say 600kw and do X lap time around Eastern Creek. 3k brand new for Evo 5spd to hold 3-400kw and do the same or better? Just saying Evo seems to scale really well bang for buck etc.

    So car aligned up all OK. steering wheel is straight now lol Basically ended up with the settings I mentioned above give or take a few .1 of a mm here and there. Didn't quite get to -1.5 rear camber, I reckon something is bent in the hub on one side as it just runs out of adjustment. My 33 was like that and ended up needing a new hub. -1.3 will do. He used those whiteline adjusters to give me the 3 deg I wanted up front, but at the same time taking some out of the strut top so I have some easy adjustment for more if needed and he mentioned there's good clearance now with the 15mm spacer, he said 4 was doable but cant see me needing it. I haven't checked but will see what the cars appetite for bigger rubber will be when I get it back. Ended up with 8.5 degrees front castor 0_0 that seems like a lot? I would have thought 6-7 would be enough, I heard it grab the left guard liner lightly when loading it, I bet it chews through it.. Track width looks even now with the spacers also. I rang the tuner on the off chance he had space in his workshop and he did so I just took it straight in instead of having to unload and reload to drop it down Monday (I don't own the trailer). So the car is now with him and he reckons he'll start looking at it Monday. See how he goes, he's flat out so I'm not expecting miracles plus he has the exhaust adjustments to make. The goal there is just to make the same 190-200rwkw but to smooth out that ugly torque curve and make the car more linear, maybe move the torque curve a little right so it's less aggressive onto boost. Nothing further from me for a few days, time to forget about cars.

    That's cheap as for a brand spanker. Remeber I live in the land where a second hand Getrag is 5-6k minimum second hand. Evo might just be the best platform around in many regards. If I was so far in bed with this Silvia I would track one for sure.
  19. No Crust Racing
    Is that brand new?
  20. No Crust Racing
    Talk to Kelford about your goals. He was fairly accurate about my result and great to deal with. Consensus seems to be that Tomei drop in's are very mild and lots of people seem to end up dissatisfied.

    So, short version is spacers are on and car is at the aligners. Long version is, much more drama than anticipated. Here's what you need to do/know to fit these spacers. Cut down your existing wheel studs so they do not foul the wheel when mounted (some wheels have provisions for allowing studs to extend in behind them, mine dont). To do this, I threaded a nut onto the stud to help with measuring length, used painters tape to mark the edge, then cut along the egde and then used the nut to help clean up the thread. The tape also holds the cut off section captive for easy clean up - pics below. Put wheel on and get a "rough" idea about where you want it. Difficult for me because the idea is clearance from the shock to get the camber I want and I didn't have time to adjust camber to see. I settled on the base 15mm, but put the kit in the car for the aligner. 15mm seemed to roughly match rear track width. Cut down the spacer extended nuts. They are so long that you cannot tighten the wheel nut up, even open ended nuts, because the socket runs out of depth. the issue is, cut them too short and you lose the ability to space further out if needed. Cut them too long and can't tighten them at the desired length. Also my wheels have centre caps and covers that the studs must clear. Lengthy process... Bolt the whole thing up a few more times and play with clearances. Cut/bolt up, cut bolt up etc. The bolts that hold the spacer to the hub are quite narrow in terms of surface area for a socket to grab and as they recess into the spacer you get less and less bite on them. I struggle to see how you can safely get 72ft lbs on them without damaging the corners of the nut, maybe 6 point socket needed. Pic below doesn't show studs cut but there was easily 30mm cut off each. Pics also doesn't show hub rings fitted, which work well. I went at this like a mad man last night, as it was supposed to be a quick fit then get the missus to help me load it on the trailer. It took easily over 2hrs at a cracking pace and the car was already on stands, wheels off. Shit better work.

    It's thursday motherf**kers. What gives.
  23. No Crust Racing
    Behold in all its 4 stud glory. Handy because the sleeves on the right double as hub centric rings and i was missing 1 (only noticed last night) so I can use these up front and put 2 on the back. Come at me camber.
  24. No Crust Racing
    Thanks Roy, see how we go. In talking with my fittings guy, he was confident these are a "good" filter and have seen good power on e85 cars.
  25. No Crust Racing
    Yeah may disconnect an end link to test if needed up front. Settings are basic because there's not really much to it. Seat time will trump all mods at the moment. Got the battery reinstalled, cranks nicely. Ctek on lol Front wheels off ready for spacers.
