Just finished watching District 9, holy shit that movie was full of win. f**ked up thing is, if events did play out in real life like the movie, I can see us going down the same road. Just my final thought for the night.

Night all :P

new ken block video. :P

Night all :)

i finally got around to watching that as well. thought it would be full of aids and fail (didnt much dig the previews), watched it anyway to kill some time. ended up enjoying it. even if it was a dodgy copy.

but yeah, same thoughts, im thinking we pretty much would do the same thing. people are like that, they dont like anything unusual in close proximity.

Yes a non turbo one will be the same.

With the one that you have taken off, being tight won't effect the performance of the CAS and apart from the bearings there are no touching parts in them, they are just a round disc with two sets of holes, one set has 360 holes and the other set has 6. Optics are used to gain the signal so apart from the bearings there isn't anything else touching.

Well they seem to be a rare as hen's teeth, but I don't want to stick this CAS back in. If its not working 100%, I don't want to know about it. Stagea is coming off the road to have all its little problems sorted. Between now and the Loxton trip, I want to sort out every little thing that is bugging me. I'll be going over the car with a fine combe. To do list is:

1. replace CAS

2. neatly fit air/fuel, boost, oil pressure gauge in console (remove cig lighter and ash tray - they never get used)

3. replace leaking turbo-dump pipe gasket (while I'm at it, I'll get the turbo checked out health-wise)

4. sort FPR issue

5. replace O2 sensor

6. clean/replace AFM

7. full service/dyno tune

8. fit trans cooler

9. fit 52mm alloy radiator

10. fit QFM pads

11. fit new subwoofers and amp to back of stag

12. respray front bar and bodykit to match rest of paint work; and if I have time

13. lightly rub the rest of the bodywork and respray the whole wagon.

I'm sure there's more :P But the stag will look and run better than ever.

Between now and the Loxton trip, I want to sort out every little thing that is bugging me. I'll be going over the car with a fine combe. To do list is:

Heres my list...

1. get minor dents removed

2. get n1 spoiler lip fitted

3. get rear spoiler(s) and front bar resprayed

4. get hubs powdercoated black

5. get calipers powdercoated red

6. buy hicas compatible boss kit and nismo horn button & refit nardi wheel

7. get upper rear adjustible control arm inner bushes

8. get 1cm suspension spacer put in to raise the car 1cm

have taken care of a bunch of issues since last years show, most notably I now have a working aircon - last years drive up was most unpleasant without it

-D

Well I've only started on a few items on my list and already better.

Since fitting the stock FPR back in, the Stagea has ran better. Today we repaired the CAS and checked the timing ... and the stag is running like new!

All the problems started a week or two before the dyno day when I fitted (amongst other things) the adjustable cam gear and Malpassi FPR. Turns out the FPR was one problem and the CAS was the other. When removing the timing belt cover, and leaving it off to tune the timing, it is wise to pack the CAS out with 2 washers. I didn't :) and it appears the shaft/bearings started to press themselves out, rubbing the disc inside badly on the signal pickup. We used the guts of the spare R33 CAS I had to rebuild the Neo CAS and the timing is spot on now.

A new (suspected) problem I had confirmed today was a leaking stock BOV. Borrowed the R33 BOV to fit to the Stagea and no more leak!

:)

Too bad its out of rego now. I'll be driving the 33 for the next few months, while I get the Stagea a bit more sorted.

Heres my list...

1. get minor dents removed

2. get n1 spoiler lip fitted

3. get rear spoiler(s) and front bar resprayed

4. get hubs powdercoated black

what a weekend, and a week ahead

tinting on the patrol re-done. sporting some nice dark(er) tint on the rear cargo area

my new SAU hoodie (which has copped a flogging all weekend lol)

new computer yesterday (and finally setting it up - bonus is i scored 100gb of extra music)

waeco car fridge tomorrow

and the "power bulge" gets removed thursday thank f**k

is it just me, or are there WAYYYYYYYYYY too many stickes in the SA section? who uses 1/2 that crap anyhows?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!? XD

could probably kill a few of them, merge a few more

Agreed
+1
+2

I've mentioned it just the other week in the SAU:SA feedback thread..........

Heres a feedback and improvement idea:

I reckon the sticky section is a bit cluttered.

I dont think we need the following:

- South Australia Events Calendar - does not get used at all

- No More 'for Sale' Threads! - pretty sure the regulars and those with half a clue knows how to use the for sale thread and even a sticky wouldnt prevent those with less than half a clue from making a new thread as once in awhile one pops up anyways

The following can be merged together:

- Sau Rules and Please Obey Forum Rules Or You Will Be Warned Then Banned - obvious reasons

- Adelaide Import Wrecker Listing and Workshop & Autoparts Listing - new title could be Adelaide Import Wreckers, Workshops and Autoparts Listing

What do yous reckon?

some of us are yet to see the point of SAU:SA.......... :)

fishy, if you're actually serious, then that is the most ill thought statement you've ever made.

With that kinda a logic, what's the point of anyone having any car club then?!

I really don't understand so called motor enthusiasts that just want to be constant knockers towards anything new trying to get off the ground........not that car clubs in general are anything new.

I really hope you were only saying that "tongue in cheek" fishy cause you're better than that.

I think there are still some haters out there due to the fact it wasnt their clique who thought of it

Regardless of who decided to get the club off the ground, the people who cared enough to get it started put their words into action, got the members involved, appointed a club executive via democratic voting and actually now have something to show for it (a successful dyno day, a good display at kadina and cams affiliation...)

to the knockers - can you do better? Or is naysaying all you can contribute?

Looking forward to the next successful SAU:SA display at the Loxton Riverland Auto Expo with a bunch of fun lovin' folks...

-D

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
