Dont know where to start this post. We strapped my car on the dyno on friday in preperation for the track day today and thats when the bullshit started. Stainless highmount was warped and cracked again for the umpteenth time so game over.

Not so Says mic. I will custom build one and have it fitted and tuned in time. so he did. Then the shithouse braided turbo oil lines shit themselves, No probs says mic. goes and has custom hardpiping made up to suit.

Off we go again. blow off valve shits itself. No problems says mic, rebuilds it better than tyrbosmart intended. Away we go again. nice power, car idling and running beautifully, naking around 450 hp so we decide its time to dial in the water meth. WTF. lost the signal from the afm. several hours later and a long story short the w/meth signal was interfering with the afm and had done all along. several hours tuning down the farking drain. All this interspersed with the oiul filter blowing off on 3 different occasions and filling the bay and shop with hot oil.

Enough I said. Get f***ed said Mick, Get the hell out of my shop. So I did. 3 a.m. I gets a phone call. Hey bud. shane, Lazy bastard and I worked all night and fitted a haltech and retuned. 500 hp spinning the shit out of the tyres and still water meth to go. scarey.

BUT! She blew the farkin diff. OMG. So much respect to these guys for the unbelievable effort.

SIGNATURE PERFORMANCE YOU FARKIN ROCK

JINGA NINJA YOU ROCK

LAZY BASTARD YOU ROCK

I cant believe how fortunate we are to have men like Mick Oshea and Dan to give us such undodgy effort but today the sun shines firmly on Mick. You are a farkin champion mate along with your red headed sidekick. Hats off to the best effort I have ever seen.

Hate to be getting that bill, especially if they charge by the hour. Suppose once its up and running the cost wont matter as much as having a solid high power car, and a workshop that knows all the in's and outs of your ride, that you can count on time and time again.

knowing Mick the bill will be nothing like what it would have been at other places

nice job noel, hey curious what boost was all this done with? sounds like a little more winding to go in there yet

Can wind some more in if needed Adam but it just isnt neccessary bud. we still havnt really touched the tune as yet, just made it safe to make sure it was ok and it spat out the numbers we have been looking for all along. still got 1500/2000 rpm to throw at it yet plus a heap more timing and more fuel to come out and the water/meth setup to dial in.

I was beginning to think i had built a lemon until now. At last theres light at the end of the tunnel.

Hey noel,

it was good to meet you yesterday, also mick from signature thanks alot for helping me out when i got there.

Ill be back as soon as i can, the day really highlighted some things i need to do before i come back. How bad was my car sounding?

Also mountain runner if you are paul was good to meet you, you guys put on a great day thanks again :)

mick

I have one thing to say about all that...

YEEEEEAH BOI!

Effing love Mick :spank: Oh shaney, you're a'ight too... Weazel you suck :P

JK guys, we're a lucky bunch of SOB to have fellas like that huh!!! 5 gold stars for them ;)

Hi 2630GTS, your right MountainRunner = Paul and it was good to meet you also.

It sounded pretty bad up in the RPM range. Give Mick a call and get it on the dyno to sort it out before the next event. You got to run that car at the Nissan Meeting on July 8. It is one of the cleanest R32's I have seen.

Honour and respect are two great values that seem to be long lost in our modern living..

I know a diesel mechanic just like that, pitty he is crap with pretrol.

I read this post with interest and notted no vegatives, no mess or slander.. Hmm, does that make him a guru?

Anyhow, I am sure the whole expereince has left u with a very warm, humbling, fuzzy feeling.

I bought a 6 pack for the last guy who displayed traits like this, i did it when my mechinist did an all nighter to get a bunch of parts ready for me when i needed them done yesterday and i was knee deep in a broken car. He was more than happy to do it, and asked me to call again next time and bring a pair of 6 packs to share with him...

Congrats Noel!

noel that sucks but hats off to signature perfomance! can't wait to see the car in action with 500hp after all the time and buttloads of money into it! cheers mayne! Hame

p.s i bought an r32 project:D

  • 1 year later...

Sorry to dig up and old thread, but a year and a half later, and I still got the same amount of quality workmanship and effort in the 1st post. Bought a car, 2JZ powered S15, with so many clutch problems and now have been sourced and fixed by Mick and his team. Yea the bill at the end sucks but no one ever said motorsport was cheap...

Cheers, Matt...

    • 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.
