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

It's not far off. Waiting on a silicon hose for the oil drain and just have to finish off the head drain hose

Few little things then have to put the turbo and manifold on the old engine before it comes out to workout the wastegate placement and dump pipe but that shouldnt be a big deal :)

Who has got tyres fitted to wheels before (with you supplying the tyres)?

Ordered some new rears for my car today and will need someone to fit and balance them next week

Where do I got? Thinking Paget discount tyres or whatever there called might be the go but not 100% sure

Yep his whole garage is now a tyre shop/fitting shop haha it's hillarious.

Got my new gearbox clutch and flywheel fitted yesterday, car drives great. Clutch is so much lighter compared to the old HD exedy. It's making a little bit of a grind/rubbing sound when i engage it though, could just be wearing in but i'm getting leon to check over it again today and go from there. Happy with the results though!

Ok so i took the car back to Leon, he had a drive and he thinks it's the copper mix clutch. It makes a bit of a rubbing sound when the clutch is in changing gears. Just trying to find something on the internet with someone else having the same experience with this clutch

Pretty sure it's a pull type Cal. The noise appears when the clutch is fully engaged and changing gears. When the clutch is held in for about 3 seconds or more the noise stops. Yes there is a brand new throw out bearing in the car too. A couple of people i've spoken to think it's part of the wear in stage of a clutch, and the noise should dissapear after 500-1000km. I don't think the noise has anything to do with something not being installed correctly because everything is very smooth and no problems at all.

Yeah it could be just wear in. If your putting the clutch in and the noise disappears in 3 secs or so then whatever it is, is spinning with the gearbox so clutch plate would be

Email or call exedy and ask them if its worrying you

that's what Coz said from Conceptz. he said give it 500 miles then contact him again. I also asked him to contact the supplier for me, he's usually very helpful so i'll leave it for him to do for me. Is it possible the system wasn't bled correctly or something? there's brand new clutch fluid in there. I'm just trying to account for everything and narrow down to what the issue could be. Fingers crossed it's not a faulty clutch, Coz has never heard of this sound coming from the southbend clutch/flywheel setup. I guess time will tell!

This Power FC thing is doing my head in. My new one came the other day and I had time today to play around with it. It has the exact same issue. I'm hoping at least since I bought this new I can get some support from Apexi this time. I've tried just about everything I can think of now. Have emailed FC-Datalogit as well hoping that one of thier users has encountered the same issue

I might be heading for a Link at this rate, I'm not prepared to put up with the issue it has, as its annoying enough with the setup I have now, the lack of timing is gonna be worse with a bigger turbo and bigger cams.

Have yet another gauge to fit in my car somewhere now. Got my oil pressure gauge today. The sensor also doesnt fit in the block, both 1/8 threads but it looks like the sensor is NPT and the Block is BSPT. Went to pirtek for an adapter, and he couldnt find one and said just tap it out or put a spanner on it.... lol

      Engine Issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Resizing injectors in Nistune can be done a couple of ways, and there are a couple of ways that you can make a mess of it. The tuner needs to be really aware of the effects of whichever approach he uses (either K, or TIM). They are both easy enough to "get the injector size right" to run the engine. But little details like old start enrichment and hot start are affected differently, depending on which boxes you check.

      Pretty safe to say almost everyone that has tuned their own car has experienced this issue. The difference being that we have our laptop in the car and when it happens, it's literally 10 seconds of tuning to sort it.  Would you be happy to plug in your laptop and sort this yourself? It is a very simple process and there is no risk of harming your engine (if you are worried about that).

      Basically your tuner needs to drive it for the 30 min (or whatever) to create the same conditions then check the ECU settings and sensors at that time. They may not be excited to because that takes them 30 min rather than just opening the bonnet and seeing the problem straight away.... Hot start is generally not as tricky as cold start, but there would be a table for fuel enrichment vs coolant temp as a starting point

      Yeah, they all cant say anything for sure as everything is working fine . Said unable to find an issue untill it stops again. Could mist likely be CAS wiring or IAS valve issue but again not 100%
