It's already got one. Palmyra. It's been built to suit the majority demographic in Mackay. Sad but true. I remember whan I lived in the area 20 years ago there was talk of one in Gladstone out near

Hi Gents,

I only just realised that there is a Mackay section................

I was hoping that someone might know a competent haltech tuner in Mackay, any recommendations would be appreciated. It is a high HP fj20 engine in a DR30 coupe running a haltech E11.

I realise that Adrenalin used to do Haltech but have closed down. I was going to take it back to Aitkenvale Dyno in Townsville but if there was someone in Mackay i could trust that would be much preferred.

Cheers in advance.

So, my motor is finally built and paid for! (About time) Should be up here within 3 weeks after they do some final stuff to it. Next is a NPC clutch and then it'll be in the bay where it belongs! Just gotta buy my fuel setup and pipework! I cant wait to hit the black stuff again. I miss driving her. :(

Why Brisbane, man? You only just moved here didn't you?

Ah well me and my gf are wanting to leave Mackay, housing is too expensive along with everything else. Want a change and we can both get transfers in our work it's just a matter of finding a place. We've both liked Brisbane a lot and i've met loads of guys in the V series section that live in brissy and the community is great so i'd like to get amongst that too. Same with housing in Brissy is much more affordable.

I've been here about 14 months now though.

Yeah this place is rough if your not wearing an orange stripey shirt thats for sure.

Had some presents waiting for me when I got home from work this morning. Waiting on a fan before mine flies apart, paid for express and the non express item I ordered a day before got here first from the same place :S

Mainly just trying to decide what exhaust manifold I want to run. I still really want a 6boost.....

Yep :/ paying $550 atm for a 4 bedroom standard place at slade point, we can rent an apartment that looks like a mansion for $350 that has everything we need. Just seems to be the logical thing to do, but that's not for another 6 months we've decided.

      Is there a good place to learn how an engine works online?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      What are you planning to do specifically?  I would be very surprised if you need to learn any math for these 'few builds' you have planned for the future.

      I transferred from full time service to Army Reserve, so I still have access, work has been super keen to get me in to work in the OPS realm, so just turning up to use the gym......and ovens, isn't causing any issues, apart from me needing to keep on telling them that I won't be doing any reserve days until I get my joint in Goulburn sorted  Basically I can now work whenever I want, for how long I want now, and it's all tax free Next time we have some fires or floods you might see me covered in mud, or cutting sick in some plant equipment cleaning up, the Reserves love getting in the news, LOL

      Final finish outcome of 80°c was typical to the pics, I've turned the oven down to 50°c and will pick them up after the gym tomorrow  The before and after difference was amazing, the wrinkle paint has covered all of the casting marks completely It did take a couple of hours to key it all and get in all of the crevices, but, for me it was time well spent for the final outcome, but I have all the time in the world to do it at the moment  Ended up with 4 coats, each sprayed at different angles to get optimal coverage and thickness As for the fixtures and intake box thingo that hasn't made it, the supplier is apparently posting the fixtures, and, are now sending a different CAI that is in stock The replacement CAI is actually better than what I originally ordered, but will require a pod filter that locates under the front bar, still serviceable, but it basically removes the whole OEM filter box and ducts into the front bar, so filter cleaning will require ramps and the removal of some front bar undertray, not a war stopper, just some ramps and an additional 10 minutes work every few months From looking at it it is made from alloy pipe from the throttle body, through the CAI hole in the rad support, then right turning under the bar, luckily the wrinkle paint was on special and I got 2 cans for $30ish, so the alloy will get the same wrinkle treatment as the intake manifold, hopefully it turns up soon, either way, the car will be getting booked in soon, if the parts aren't here, I'll just get MX5 Mania to " make it work"

      I'm so glad base security is so high. I see they stopped some random codger from being able to just wander in off the street... 😛   PS, intake looks good!
