Well, for your information, Nick that asshole started this from the word go. He started all of the nit picking, digs, and generally being an asshole over anything. I know my stuff, and I have repaired many dodgy tunes and slap shop work. I don't even own a shop and I've already got many people coming my way because they are getting blatantly ripped off by other so called professionals.

If Nick wants to keep bagging me for no good reason whatsoever, then I will return the favor. As I said, lots of people have all said that's the general attitude he has.

Jam it in your ass too Force fed. You'd feel that same if you has some high and mighty thinking asshole trying to run down your business.

Oh, and for your information to how petty this started, the wanker started paying me out for a joke I posted towards Ben and Kingy, and then started making fun about me being in an accident where a dickhead run a red light and nearly killed me.

From there, it just proved that Nick was just out to be a complete f**kwit.

All the way back on page 21. And then he just kept picking like a 11 year old. Hasn't stopped since.

I have seen Andrew give that car a hard time and it not respond.... Clutch kicking the f**k out of it and it falling off boost.... With the new turbo n tune. Explain that

Edited by dysonest

Upfront and says what he thinks? I don't see a problem with that..

So you're saying if he never met you, didn't know anything about you, but went around telling everyone that you are a wanker, out of jealousy, you'd be ok with that?

answer my question jono ??

Didn't see that - But, I will answer your question.

The Car comes on boost at around 4500rpm. Its laggy because its only a 1.8 litre engine, with a largish turbo on it.

Here is the other issue - The car is too noisy, due to the external gate and no exhaust silencing what so ever so I cannot put timing into it safely until I have the ability to listen for detonation. The car does not have a knock sensor kit, so I will have to do it on the dyno, with a knock sensing kit. He also said that he is going be quieting it down.

There is also one other issue - The cams. He has told me that you put 280+ sized cams in the car. This means the power band will be pushed up very high making the car even laggier. People need to understand the bigger isn't always better when selecting cams. I had 256 cams in the 3.0L and it cam on boost very early and was very smooth, no lag at all.

One last thing, I was asked to just get it going safe enough to race at the drift track so I did. Before, it wouldn't even start, then when it did, it wouldn't rev past 2,000 due to the timing being completely f**ked up. After Blocka flashed the ECU without backing up the existing tune, he lost everything. Then I was handed a tune that I was told you did. I put that in, then removed it after I saw it. It was atrocious. I still have a copy. It would most likely grenade the engine if used. I then started from scratch.

With all of the problems that car had, I wasn't taking any chances what so ever.

Leon's car went perfect on the drift day, and he'll even tell you that about all his cars, as will all of my customers.

im not calling u a wanker to anyone, and im not jealous of u at all... if someone asks me about u, all i say is i dont like u.

that motor has 270 degree pon cams... yes it will make the power curve higher but hello its in a drift car anyway ??

and what ever tune u got handed it wasnt done by me... i never touched any tune on that motor

yes leons car did run fine on the day, even though it was blowing flames on decel. its not hard to tune a car "safe"

Leon requested those flames, so I put them there.

And I forgot to mention, half way Andrew blew a turbo to manifold gasket hence the really bad lag issues.

Bug cams in a drift may not be an issue, but when in a small motor that struggles to make boost early, I would have went smaller for better drivability.

You say all this stuff about tuning, yet you've never done it before by the sounds of it.

i have f**ked around with the tune on my 34.... and its not rocket science

and drivability ? it shouldnt see south of 4k sliding anyway. only on a take off but a clutch kick is all thats needed to be on boost. if the tunes good and not overly fuely making it heavy to breath

Something interesting but last night I run into a small group of young fellas who actually brought you up in conversation pretty much straight away. (Ended up asking me for a tune too)

In their comments, you were definitely saying a lot more than you simply "not liking me". Actually, you talked a lot more shit.

This raises a couple of points.

First of all, they thought you were exactly what I said, negative, most likely jealous, and obviously deliberately trying to run me down due to some bullshit childish issue you have with me.

But my main point - You're a liar. So basically this removes any merit from anything you have said in this thread.

Now there is the possibility that you have lied to save face. And everyone knows that arguing with a liar is very much so a waste of time.

Here is an example, you just said you have f**ked with the tune in the Skyline. I've had three people on three separate occasions mention that you f**ked with that tune on that CA. And the tune that I have here, I can guarantee that a workshop would not do what is on this map. They would go bust within week if they pumped out tunes like that.

Anyway, lying about anything just to save face or to run someone down just makes you sink lower.

This is very poor form.

ur calling me a lair and u have NO proof at all.... i can say "i was talkin to 500 ppl last nite and they said u cant tune and ur a blah blah blah" and so this makes u a lair jono????...... a load of shit

unless u get them to actually tell me IN PERSON they were talkin to u and really think i am a negative person and for some reason jealous of u then how can i believe u ?? i cant

how many times do i have to tell u I NEVER TOUCHED THE TUNE ON THE CA.... i have on the skyline because i bought a wide band and datalog it.... plus i bought the 34 way after the CA was off the road. shit it was probly even in andrews hands by then. and i dont know who the "three" ppl u are talkin about are but obviously they are pissing in ur pocket.

It's all good Nick. I know not to believe you now.

And one good way of proving my point, when Andrews car was running like shit and he had to "clutch kick the f**k out of it" you went around telling everyone that the tune was shit.

When you only found out yesterday that he blew the shit out of the turbo to manifold gasket hence the lag issues.

Before it blew, the car was running great. I was there, I saw it myself. He just needs more practice at driving.

You're just another one of those guys who has or sees an issue and blames the tuner, without having a clue. You proved that yesterday. You really don't have a clue and just bag the shit out of people you don't even know. As I said, its a common jealousy thing.

he must have blew that gasket when his diff spat the crown wheel bolts then ?? because after he put a new hat on that diff housing it did nothing but run like shit...

and u provide a service to tune a car... if someone pays u for it then u have an obligation to get that car running great. regardless. and if u dont have a knock box then u shouldn't touch the car.

one thing ive learn is if u dont have the tools to do the job, ur work isnt gonna be good..... andrews tune = not good. plain and simple, get the correct tools so u can do the job properly and then i wouldnt have anything to complain about.

i work on cars everyday too, so im pretty sure i have some clue as to what would be wrong.... what do u do for a job ??

another mackay wannabe charging for half ass'd work. this towns full of them

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again? 
    • I haven’t yet cut the chassis, maybe I switch to a reverse flow. I’ve got the Intercooler mounted as I already had it but not cut yet. Might have to speak to an engineer 
    • Yes that’s another issue, I always have a front mount, plus will be turbo plus intake will big hasstle. I’ve been told if it looks stock they’re fine with it by a couple others who have done it ahahaha.    I know @Kinkstaah said the stock gtt airbox is limiting but I might just have to do that to avoid a defect so it atleast looks legit. Or an enclosed pod so it’s hidden away and feed air from the snorkel and below Intercooler holes like kinstaah mentioned. Hmm what to do
