Middlemount if you know where that is. About 2hrs from Emerald up north towards Mackay.

Those 57d are the perfect drifter rims imo. Cheap and good + you get all the attention you need with the colours they offer. Hahaha.

Yes. Not all Gramlight but the specific design I'm suggesting. The 57d were quoted by Streeter

Comparing to

These would be a lot cheaper with the current exchange rate sitting around 85?

Brandon:

Wheels of choice for your car would be Gold Gramlight 57Pro, Gold GTC or White LMGT's

Don't forget that you will pay around 20% more when you go to pick it up from the docks in custom duties and GST.

Also, even if the rate on xe.com says 85yen, the rate the bank will be paying is only going to be 82yen and you have to minus 2 yen on his side also. So if xe.com says 85yen then expect to be paying at approx 80yen and $1800 will actually cost you an extra $360 to pick up when it lands

I wanna know the design part of things rather than operational for starters. And I'll need the commission experience if I wanna go down the path I'm planning.

What have they got up there that they are working on? Power plant or something?

Nah too expensive for drifter rims. Better off buying second hand since you're just gunna wreck them anyway. imo anyway.

You should ask streeter if he can send each wheel via EMS one at a time. You will pay a tiny bit more but avoid custom duties

Now you're on the trolley ;)

In other news. Who is going to the SAU Qld Christmas dinner? I reckon I'll put off paying my fine till the 14th and make an appearance :)

Yea I know that. That quote I got was long ago before I bought these LMGT4. I wouldnt have having those hideous coloured rims on my car thats for sure. But if I'm having a drift car say 180? I'll get them.

No... I'm working for a Coal Consultant.

www.sedgman.com.au

We design, construct and operate coal mines.

Currently I'm working on this job thats been put on hold for 2yrs... and its a shit 1

Yeah but once you hit the 1year mark you get to be the giver ;)

You're a worry dan lol.

Cryptic hints lol. I don't think Tristan is paying attention.

True sounds pretty good.

do they need environmental consultants?

Oh wait i shouldnt leave here this time next year i will be preparing for my long service leave!

There are engineers on site that sit in offices all day designing/planning new u/g and open pit shiz.

Will I assume your talking about wanting to be involved with the civil design stages of the sites ? eg. processing plants and other structural aspects ?

Did you study environmental science ?

What do you do in the mines Dan?

I'm an electrical/controls engineer bro. I'll really just be doing the maintenance stuff if I'm onsite. Its normally the process boys that decide what to upgrade etc and from there the other discipline will get the work done.

Thats a bloody good question! Yes Dan, what do you do in the mines???? Must be a desk job since you have a whole lot of whoring time!

;)

I already told you , Im a giver . . . . Oh wait do mean my job ? lol

Im a surveyor ;)

Is it standard surveyor stuff while the mines are under construction or is the place your working at operational?

Maintenance = suicide. I wouldn't be able to do that anywhere especially if I was going to be stuck in the middle of bumf**k nowhere.

Geeezzzz that post was a bit slow since the question is answered ....

Yep fail.

Dan Yep i did environmental science

Colin, dont be upset that we get paid lots to do pretty much nothing except write reports that ever so slightly change the project...yet every one has to wait for them because of silly environmental legislation haha

    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
