Congratulation with a Baby girl! :P

Sorry for beeing so late with the gratulation, but I stopped recieving E-Mail when this thread is updated...

How is she? Found a name for her?

Best Wishes

Morten and Caroline

thanks guys, her name is Ella Jade. She is doing well, put on 440grams last week.

Going to have a play with the car this weekend, firstly going to test the valve springs as the mechanical missfire at high RPM can only be them, and have heard some rumours about Comp valve-springs having this problem. Get my missing 20 killer wasps back.

Going to remove and repair front bar, swing a spanner over car and fabricate an engine cover/intake duct to insulate the intake from the headers and direct some air from the front bar. Also going to check for any damage due to my off track excursions lol. Hope to have it ready in a week so i can go to next event that pops up.

have narrowed missfire/harmonic down to the Yella Terra rocker arms after springs tested fine. Have re-installed standard arms as to run it on dyno on saturday and see if problem is gone, a little birdy told me that Yella Terra has re-designed this part number, nice of them to tell us.

Bar is off and getting repaired, and will do engine cover soon, lots of track days coming up.....going to put a passenger seat in also as to get some driver tips this time, might need headsets though lol.

Too bad that the rocker arms are failing, but it is good to know that they are easy to replace... What brand of rocker arms are you choosing if it is the rocker arms that are the problem?

I hade a test run with my car on the road this saturday, and the CAM I am using is just mean!!! :P

Without proper tuning (Running between 11.0 and 11.5 AFR) I managed to get it to spin at aprox. 4000 rpm in 4th gear... Started rolling at 2000rpm in 4th gear and floored the throtle, and I am running 235/40-18 Road Slicks...

Hoping that the Rocker arm change works for you!

its OK, if our tests confirm that the ams are the issue then Yellaa Terra will be replacing them or reimbursing me, i can guarantee you that. Hey Morten, how good are 4th gear skids lol.

our diagnosis was confirmed today, the car was perfect. clean power curve through too 7000rpm and beyond.

put some fuel back in here and there but overall tune was good. Running it a bit fatter for security but still making 400hp and 1600 lb of torque. So will be chasing rocker arms up this week.

Fitted GTR Grille purchased off forum which looks great. Bar is in for repair.

All is looking good for October track day.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
