luck, boy did we need some. a mad scramble to get car ready, and i know well that its the worst way to prepare for an event.

Saturday we had the car wheel aligned and made all the tin-work. Monday night we fitted the tin-work, made gear shifter and mounted handbrake lever, also made and fitted rear lexcen window.

tuesday organised fuel and some minor stuff and then took it too dyno. All looking good at this point.

When atempting to tune found that ECU was locked accidently and can only be unlocked by the persons software who locked it. After a few hours of trying to get around this problem we were left with no option but too leave it, get the ECU unlocked in the morning and then bring the car back up to tune.

After getting home at 1 and back up at 630 for the past 3 days i was shot. So up to sydney we drive again and have the car on the dyno by 9. after 8 hours of tuning and software downloads etc etc we got the car to run at about 80%. We called it a day at 6pm. 7 hours late for my track day lol. But more than happy as Yavus from Unigroup after hours of stuffing around with the HP tuner software broke its back and made real progress with the tune.

The car was making 302Kw @ 7000rpm at the tyres when we finished. He thinks its got a little bit left in it and some fine tuning to finish.

The car sounded strong in the end and was crazy to drive as i got to give it a skid in the car-park.

Huge thanks to The boys at Unigroup for a massive effort, as well as my brother and brother in-law who

travelled up and down with me. Also Ian for sticking around and helping out on tuesday night.

hope to have the tune finished in the next 2 weeks in order for the SAU track day.

Good luck today Stu!

Hope all goes well.

nice one mate. nothing ever goes perfectly but those problems are only minor. and one missed trackday is no biggie.

mmm 300 @ 7 will be some serious fun. what are the ratios like in the box that's behind it?

Hey Stuart is the rumour correct that you are chasing more killer wasps so that Bumble Bee will behave like a real "sprint car" and lift the front wheels off the ground under acceleration?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      Hi from Canada, Both of my calipers are starting to fail. My car is a 2005 M35 Stagea ARX and I can't seem to find any parts or any cross reference caliper that would fit my car. Is there a company or a similar caliper that would fit and I could replace the OEM one. Or if anyone knows where I can find a new OEM. Any help is very appreciated. Let me know!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything

      My BMW E39 528i touring

      What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
