Not a big fan of the fulvia. Almost tempted to take out a loan for that delta though...

Also, yay :):

and Porsche, don't forget the hate for Porsche lol.

Not that I’d ever want to put words in old mates mouth, but perhaps you mean his hate for the people who own and drive them?

Surely he hasn’t driven enough of them to make an educated and informed decision on the vehicle(s) alone?

Never met/seen any Porsche wankers, so it's not that. And yeah, I've only ever driven 2 of them, but wasn't overly impressed. Just not fussed on their designs.

You're so soft Martin. I think my eyes are going square. Got 70 drawings dumped on my desk this morning to be reviewed and commented on by 3pm. Very lame. Running out of red ink.

That's what she said.

If you have a spare couple of mil handy (actually I have no idea what it would cost), we can hook you up with a drawing management system, including electronic marking up/redlining (as well as everything else you could ever want to do drafting/drawing shiz). No more reliance on red ink :thumbsup:

I could mark most of it up in adobe or blue beam if i wanted but I prefer hardcopies for these drawings. Need to reference between all the other drawings so it's easier to just do it with the A1 plans rather than on a screen.

They go orright for a volkeswagon. :whistling:

Pfffft. Toy software compared to what I'm offering you :P

Need to reference between all the other drawings

Handles all that for you too ;)

nah not what I mean by referencing lol. I don't have enough screens/big enough screens to have all the right drawings up at the same time. much easier to just use the plan bench. What's the software called?

If I do wind up going euro it'll be Alfa or VW.

Finally got on a computer instead of trying to use the forum from my phone. To add to this:

I'm looking at (in no particular order):

VW

Alfa

Jag

Volvo

So not really just Naziland and Pizzaland. I just couldn't be assed typing that much on my phone.

This is partly why I was wanting to do a FF vs FR pros and cons list, but then I decided I've owned both before and never really had any problems with either. And really, when it comes down to it, as a 95% of the time street car, it's probably not going to make much difference.

In the meantime, if anyone hears of someone wanting a 32... if they're paying enough for me to go out and buy another car straight away then I'll sell it. Otherwise I'll keep saving and sell the 32 when I'm ready to buy something else.

Fulvia

No integrales on carsales anymore :mellow:

I read it as Vulva. However, it's a nice looking car. Be nice to own..... If you had a moustashe, concrete lawn......and owned a Fish shop.

/\ This.

So close....

Fiat bambi. what a farken power house. :thumbsup:

Fiat Bambino you mean

Is this over the whole Ann Frank thing?

Too soon?

It's all in bad taste. Ann Frankly I've had about enough of it.

Funny name for software.

I lol'ed

    • 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
