so you work for opel??

Technically the same company (as in general motors) but not as such becuase Opels are designed in Europe, and deal largely with fwd platforms. We do Holdens, obviously, Cadillacs, Pontiacs, chevrolet, hummer and buicks :)

cool..

yeah we have only 2 pre-clinical years then 2 clinical years, i think you guys have 3 pre-clinical then 2 clinical.. right? or is it 2 pre-clinical and 3 clinical?

anyway, gen med is fun, no doubt you are running around with talley and o'connor in one hand and a stethoscope in the other, pocekts filled with tendon hammers and torches.. just don't let all those old grannies talk for too long when you're taking their history! haha

anyway have fun

lol its 2 pre-clin and 3 clinical. damn some of these old ladies can talk ey? that reminds me, i need a torch

theres a very old thread around somewhere on here like this so NSW copied us of course!

im a roadkill collector... not for a job... its just something i do... i have a collection at home and each one has a name and their own custom made clothes for tea parties and charades... those tuesdays really are entertaining.

i think you missed the point, i was referring to how many times holden have used opel designs for there commodores.

do you guys often test you lhd pontiacs on melbourne streets?

saw one a couple of weeks ago on kings way at about midnight, had left hand drive stickers on the back and GTO pontiac badges all over it.

Im a motor mechanic at a holden and nissan dealership. Im currently off the tools for a while and working in spare parts and service recpetion.

Im trying to learn as many aspects of the trade as i can for the future.

Cheers

that would be awesome fun! I remember playing there back in high school - but i stopped cos i stopped growing at 5ft 7 :thumbsup:

and i had a job interview at ANL container as an accountant, but stuffed that big time :banana:

lol no gun mate, the road crew get to carry a gun becaus they are on the road, im in the depot just processing the cash for companies like coles, banks and so and so on, lol

dang....should ask for one anyway - u get to do weapons training and stuff.....

and with the gtr - you could be like will smith in bad boys - cept it'd be in aust, without the 911.....hmmmmm my point is not making sense

    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.      
    • It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...
    • Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator. 
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
