its enough to get any turbo owners nose out of joint! :):D

Magnetic fuel saver, turbo zet or ebay power chip?

Excluding a 2.5L capacity increase or -600Kg , I don't think any turbo owner would be too concerned

havent been able to do the dyno run yet.......... :blush: have had to work endlessly atm and i need to change the oil aswell cause she has decided to chuck the shits on the pennzoil we put in just before Autosalon.....the oil is black as and that was after 4 weeks! so im putting in my Nulon Fully Synthetic again aswell as putting in a flush to get anycrap out.

Not necessarily a bad thing, as long as the oils still thick and theres good pressure, different oils have different detergents which can blacken the oil. I'm allways pedantic about my oil though and change on colour or 5000kms what ever comes first, including an oil flush.

I'm still wondering how your missing power has come back so suddenly from a change in knock sensors when you run a power FC...

Also, you seem pretty caught up on playing the numbers game...

A mates car went from making 195RWKW to making 160oddRWKW, yet, it still ran the exact same 1/4 mile times... Maybe when he lost power, the laws of physics changed also?

well it wasnt actually..............thank you very much. dont ever assume anything with my car.

and just on a good note.........i am now proudly sponsored by MARTINI RACING.

So a sensor that provides feed back to a system, which does NOTHING with this feed back to alter ANYTHING, not even pull timing or change fuelling... Made a difference on your car?

Wow... I really want to know how it did that...

Unsure if you know, but having a knock sensor, having a dead knock sensor, and having no knock sensor, on a car with a powerFC will make it run EXACTLY the same... The only thing you'll notice, is the CEL flashing if you actually get knock, (Or if it's cactus it'll flash without there being any knock, and without the sensor, it won't flash at all)

But glad to see you picked up 50 bajillion killer wasps at the rear wheels...

So, when are we going to actually see this thing make a pass down the quarter to back up these over inflated dyno figures? Or, are you too scared to run it down the 1/4 as it'd prove you don't have all those killer wasps, just like you won't post a dyno sheet of how it's running now as you know the knock sensor did sweet f**k all, and if your mechanic told you it made a difference, you should quit going to him.

If it's you saying "it made a difference" get over the placebo effect.

i'm going to keep my opinions out of this, however a friendly reminder to everyone posting to keep comments civil.

if cara has done things with positive experiences then there really isn't much problem is there.

How manny killer wasps does your 33 make before melting into the tarmac, champ?

I wouldn't worry about the oil changing colour too much at all. Even synthetic will turn black - especially if the cleaning agents in most street engine oils are doing their thing.

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
