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.

Once it goes back together Adrian, Kon's expecting somewhere between 450 - 480 hot ponies from it at the tarmac melting stage... It already lights third on the roll before it came apart again... :ninja:

But, I don't see what this has to do with a sensor on a car, that affects absolutely nothing in the way of the tune, and hence, won't affect power, or driveability.

The point is you're arcing up hard over someone else's car and giving yourself a brain aneurysm for your trouble. Relax and let people think what they want.

hey guys can we keep this on topic? this is the 2nd thread that cara has started as the first one went awol.

cheers

If Cara could find the real problem, and then post her dyno "figures" and then back up the power with a good MPH, not an issue...

Until then, those who know, are just sitting back pissing themselves laughing at her for believing the knock sensors are the culprit.

Come on Cara, dyno it, and then drag it!

I just think Matts frustration is stemming from the fact that the Power FC doesn't rescale the ignition map based on a knock sensor input. This has been known for years and years and is the biggest gripe people have with the PFC is that it doesn't respond to the knock signal like a factory ECU would....all it does is flash a pretty light at you and politely inform you the engine is pinging its nuts off.

And I quote from one of the PFC forums "the power fc has no control or measures against knock"

So the act of Cara replacing a knock sensor and then getting power back is perplexing at best. All I think is being said here is there must be some underlying issue that has not yet been found. Even bad fuel can have a really marked effect on a borderline tune. I've had a week of about -20rwkw after I filled up with something other than optimax/BP ultimate.

why is it sooo important for me to post up my figures for you? so u can turn around and say "look i told you so?" mate go fu** urself i dont have to prove anything to you or anything else.

im sick of this shit and my threads hijacked. i will not post one thing ever again in the n/a section due to people thinking that they know more about my car than my tuner.

I WANT THIS THREAD LOCKED NOW.

u can all get stuffed.

and Eug, this is not directed at u or any one else, the people that this is directed at now who they are,

*Yawn* Nice Tanty...

As to why you "must" (PS, I never said you had to) I'd just like to see a touch of evidence that your missing power is back from something that can't affect it.

MissR34: You seem very stuck up personally to me, and stubborn. You're unable to listen to those who KNOW what can and can't affect your PowerFC to alter it's fuelling and timing.

Those of us who have told you the Knock sensors can't "fix" this missing power, would like to see how you magically got it back.

Oh, and the last person I saw throw a tanty like that was about oh... 5 years old, and an only child...

You really need to be less defensive of everything, open your eyes, and accept some Constructive Criticism. If you do, you might find your issue with the missing power.

Hell, it could be just a set of plugs fouled, it could be bad fuel, your AFM might be stuffing up and want cleaning, you could have a vac leak. But there is no chance, knock sensors will affect the PFC. If you accept this, then those of us here, can help you find the issue.

But firstly, you need to accept, knock sensors won't affect your tune AT ALL because you run a PFC. And this, is why people are saying your tuner may not be the best to listen to at the moment, as he doesn't seem to understand this fact from the PFC.

my last comment wasn't a stab attempt, i was merely stating that it may quite possibly be a combination of other unknown factors including the change of sensors which fixed your issue. however i can only speculate at best.

this is just going back and forth and i no longer see any reason for this thread to remain active. everyone was reminded to play nicely and to keep things civil.

      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.

      By Duncan · Posted

      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.
