Do you guys know of any tuner in SA that is familiar with this product?

I want to increase my boost, upgrade injectors and get a stand alone engine management system. I love to get the Power FC but it's not available for my car :rofl: This toy has got a lot of potential though.

Many thanks in advance

how bout martin rites somethin in either HPI or Speed about how me and other sa guys get ***d up the ass by the police and regency.....

Unfortunately its the demographic you are in. Most that get pulled over and defected richly deserve it. Some, like you, dont. The Police have a very clear mental picture of what they consider to be 'troublemakers' drive, and Skylines one of them. If you dont want the hassle, drive a Falcon. If you dont want to drive a Falcon, make sure your car is bone stock.

There is no easy answer

Bit of topic but since Martin has posted a few reply to differant questions.....

Have you had any experience with the new Tomei Reytec ECU's? I am deciding what to do about programable managment on mt 32GTSt, and was thinking about either this or the AP Engineering version of the PowerFC? Any input would be greatly appricieated, as I will be getting you to tune it

sorry to hijack the thread a bit

Thats a bit of a cop out isnt it? This 'demographic' you talk of is the readers of the magazines. WE pay THEIR wages, our money goes in YOUR pocket, through continued support. Why the hell cant they try and do something posistive in response. If we were all indigineous people would everyone just turn their backs on us and say 'you belong to xxx demographic - bad luck.

HPI and SPEED survive because people like to mod cars - why should people who like to mod cars be persecuted and singled out.

Also, didnt you say you would take regency to task if it was found that James cerfiro got defected because it appeared in an article in HPI? What happened there?

You advertise your illegal mods to the XR6 turbo you drive, page by page and step by step, as you did with your soarer. People read these magazines for inspiration and ideas on what mods to do, yet you can sit back and essentially say stiff shit, buy a falcon?????

No, actually I am way out of line, I appologise - hey everybody, drive falcons and buy Streetmachine - fark this skyline/import crap.

I agree with Steve. Why dont the people in the tuning / import industry make a stand to support the ppl like us who support them?

Why?....cos when we get :shake: up the as$, who do we turn to, when our cars have to be brought back to std. Then when.....sorry, IF we make it through Regency who will happily mod our cars again???

Steve,

Point 1: The XR6 has been drive cycle tested for ADR3700 and 2800 and passed type compliance on both fronts. It costs money, but it can be done. Speak to a consulting engineer and pay the expenses if you want to do the same for your car. Have a considered approach when questioning the legalities of peoples products and actions, particularly when you represent a business on this forum. My Soarer, like your car, was in full contravention of these same ADRs, and, no, should never have been driven on the road.

Point 2: I do not agree with the way cars are being defected at the moment. It would appear that minorities are being singled out for persecution, rather than the whole lot being treated as a level, and equally accountable playing field. Every car on the road has to meet its original ADR type compliance, or have proven engineering documentation to show same, regardless of brand or manufacturer, to in part avoid potentially being defected. That is, and always has been the law. My point is, and was, while there is so much unnecessary 'bling' around, they will look past the local heaps, and like blue hatted Bower Birds go straight for the bright shinies.

As for Cefiro scenario? RTA refused to make a comment. Publishing companies also arent too interested in the potential scuffle with the Police Media Unit - a VERY powerful group of lawyers. All I can suggest, is that if you dont want to be defected, then adhere to the law. If you dont want a legal car - and theres nothing fun about that - then dont draw attention, be careful where you drive etc. etc. Thats why my Soarer did 1500km in a year...which is one reason I got rid of it.

Steve... steve.. steve,

why is it your post is always in such anger over Regency? I dont like what they do just as much as you do but you have to get a grip and get over it man. Ive been defected probably more times than you. Trust me. Yet I find myself being more upset towards SAPOL than the people at regency.

I understand your point but every single post you put up seems to eventually come to the regency subject. And you always end the post with words of anger! Anyway, good luck with your campaign.

Well said martin if you want a fast illigal car try to keep it a standard looking as possible, wheels, exhaust etc etc and let all the wankers with big crome rims on there commonwhores get pulled over, if you want a hot car get every thing engineered and cover your arse at every stage. Sorry just my point of view and that doesnt mean much

from what i gather, and what everyone else says, engineering means nothing anymore.

Steve im right behind you mate, couldn't agree with you anymore!!!!

NA, You're havin a go at steve, who's the only person that probably any of us know, whos trying to do something about the bullshit that goes on @ regency, and the cops picking on us on the road.... the only person with the balls, or the brains, to at least have a go and do something about this crap thats going on... yet you tell him to get a grip and get over it?? You're dreamn mate, you need to get the grip and realise that you're being walked all over when you get defected, and intend on letting it stay that way..

If 600PS was defected ,and it was fully engineered, and regency said nar and 2 go and get ****ed, Im sure you'd be complaining too.

NA, You're havin a go at steve, who's the only person that probably any of us know, whos havin a go at the idiots are regency... the only person with the balls, or the brains, to at least have a go and do something about this crap thats going on... yet you tell him to get a grip and get over it?? You're dreamn mate, you need to get the grip and realise that you're being walked all over when you get defected, and intend on letting it stay that way..

1. No im not having a go at Steve. As I said, he should cool it alittle.. Sometimes its no point being so upset at things that are out of our control. IF he can change it, great.

2.Im not as you put it dreaming. I dont think I am being walked all over. I know my cars are defectable. Do not Comply with the SA Road Traffic ACT and has items that are not ADR approved. So what? When I drive it, I have to be smart to know that there is a chance for me to get defected and I take the risk. at the end of the day, ITS MY DECISION to have such a car.

    • Sorry, just assumed that talk of coloured pads meant EBC red/green/yellow/shit stuff. I don't know the DBA pads, but it's a reasonable bet that they will be OK. DBA make good stuff generally. Those 4000 series rotors I linked to are very good. I may well replace the RDA rotors I have with those when required.
    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
