Hi Guys,

As you may know Unique Autosports was recently struck by a massive fire in the shop above their show room. Because of this they can no longer use the show room and are now operating only out of their dyno room building and their workshop. Since this arrangement is far from ideal Crazy John is packing up his cardigan, pipe, captains hat and love boat and is moving to a new workshop soon. As he's already laid out his dough for the new place and is looking to make his move sometime in Jan it's time for him to get rid of as much stock as possible.

Basically anything not nailed down is open to offers. Between now and the moving date (yet to be set, but some time late Jan). So get in there, or call and hassle him or whatever and make an offer on the bits you want.

He has loads of stuff that must go. Particularly big bits like bumpers, bonnets, side skirts, mufflers, exhausts, suspension etc etc etc. And he is willing to negotiate on price on pretty much anything in current stock.

Personally I'm already breaking his balls on a few key pieces for my beer mobile. So by all means ring him, or even better get out there and confront him face to face with your low ball offers.

If you ring up and greet him with a big aussie G'day he will drop another 5% off the price, but you have to do it well to qualify. Another way to ensure good discount is to ask john to tell you a story. Ask him about the time some nice young gentleman tried to pass a dodgey cheque. or pick-up UAS clutch pivot and ask him to explain how it's better than a nissan or nismo one. He will have you entertained for hours. Use these tactics to distract him from the price.

Anyway, bottom line is this: John needs his stock cleared, so bargains are there to be had. All you have to do is ask.

note: posting this for "I'm all in" John as his computer is on the fritz (could be the operator though?!). I dont have any association with UAS except for having been a customer there for a number of years and I like taking his money when we play poker.

hmm it works for me. But John did say he's been having trouble lately. He's not getting email either. so best to ring, or go in there in person.

    • If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.
    • This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).
    • I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.
    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
