evening all, sooo i think i managed to convince my brother to bring his beetle out to happy laps, he thinks he's gonna be in the way. And he probably will.....not sure if it will be ok for noise....either way he wants to come, and if it doesnt work, will jump in as a passenger with Mumslayer or myself :thumbsup:

Reading an article on how much of a dick online gamers can be and came across this gem of a quote:

"

If MMORPG players were around when God said, "Let their be light" they'd have called the light gay, and plunged the universe back into darkness by squatting their nutsacks over it."

They don't seem to like design/tech advice from non engineers. I suggested they look at getting a Wolf system this year for the ECU instead of forking out mega bucks for a Motec M800 with all of the options unlocked. Didn't go down to well.

My opinion in something like this would be to look at the top teams around the world and see what they are doing and a lot of the top teams, including the winner for the last three years running in Australia, are running Goodyears. Know why? Goodyear have spent time and money developing slicks SPECIFICALLY for Formula SAE competition world wide. Yet for some reason we are running Hoosiers. But what would I know, I'm just a business student :P

I'm going to be hitting Goodyear up for sponsorship for the team as one of my first projects, followed closely by targeting one of the big fuel/lubricant companies. Need to develop a solid marketing plan first and try figure out if I am allowed to sell naming rights for the team/car as part of a sponsorship package. I have a modest goal for my two year stint with the team, I want to double their operating budget. They are currently receiving almost no external support and managed to place 15th from 48 teams in one of the most competitive comp's in the world for this category last year. I'm super keen to see what they can do with more coin/product/services behind them.

I'd pay $50 for a penis to be put on the car. So running total thus far is $100. Better than getting sponsorship from a cheese company....

oh that's nasty...

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
