Could always come to ikes cream tonight though :thumbsup:

Nah, won't make it in time. Gotta go to the gym at 5, and then over to Germside after that to go to Kmart. Won't get out of that shithole till close to 9 irection. Then home to have dinner and go to bed to get up at 5:30 to do it all again tomorrow :down:

Ordered some gopro stuff off the web a month or so ago. One of the items wasn't in stock, they told me it would be a couple of weeks so I said that was fine.

Got sick of waiting today, here is the email trail:

Hello,

Could I please get an update on the status of my order?

Thanks,

Martin

Hi Martin

Apologies for the delay.

The Skeleton housing is still out of stock and the last coversation we had with you, you wanted the order shipped out together. We have the other products in stock so we can send those out to you in the meantime and leave the skeleton housing on back order, up to you?

Kind Regards

Sylvia

Hi Sylvia,

Do you have an updated ETA on the skeleton housing? I am pretty sure I was told it would be a couple of weeks.

Regards,

Martin

Hi Martin

I have followed this up for you and unfortunately the supplier was unable to give me an approximate ETA on the skeleton housing. It appears they are now on back order, apologies for the delay.

Kind Regards

Sylvia

Hi Sylvia,

In that case, can you please just remove the skeleton housing from the order completely and ship the remainder. Don't worry about leaving the housing on back order for me.

Thanks,

Martin

Hi Martin

Great news, we have just received the skeleton housing in stock. Would you like to keep it on your order? Also, i just called your mobile as i will need to get your credit card details again as we dont store them. If you could please call me back on __________.

Kind Regards

Sylvia

Farkin lol.

You get stuffed about with everything you buy in store these days aswell.

Approximately as such today

Stratco: we've got the sheds you ordered now

my dad gets the trailer out, goes there

Stracto: we don't have the sheds

That wasnt being cranky that was wisdom.

sounds exactly like a certain tyre shop. Ordered tyres and got told they will be there at 2pm. rang at 3.30 to confirm they there and was told yup. Jumped in car and told boss i would be back in 30mins. Got there after battling traffic for an hour to be told that they are not here. WTF.

The story i was told is another person called craig ordered tyres that morning and they were confused.

They ended up deliverying them to me next day so that was good.

makes me laugh tho

    • 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
