Dont be sorry mate, Jim Richards would have been sorry, the poor bugger, enters a new GT2 in Classic Adelaide and it went out before the first stage with turbo failure....and no parts in Aus to fix it. Sorry not to see him race and a wasted entry fee :D

Send them over and we will fix them for you Nick :)

Checked out your website....you have some very nice upgrades for the R35.

Pulled the ECU earlier this week, it's now in transit to RS Tuning (Reinhold Schmirler) in Germany. Should have the ECU & hardware in Melbourne 2-3 weeks.

very nice mate

in all seriousness, what is your occupation?

+ fckin 1!

id like to know too (not in detail, just what pays for those cars and that house and stuff)

R35 or porsche - doesnt matter, either way you were in a win-win position IMO

MGS I am surprised that they made you send the ECU to them.

The process you are having performed is a conventional bench read/write on the Motronic. There are several companies (depending on which state you are in) that have the necessary hardware to read the PCM on the bench, email the program across to RS, where they can modify it and send it back. Interesting they didnt get someone to do this for you :)

Fully agree. DMS will bench read/flash the ECU locally. FVD, Softronic can read/flash the ECU via the port under the dash. Unfortunately RS Tuning do not offer this. Yes it is an inconvenience and this method also attracts import duties. But RS is regarded as the #1 Porsche Tuner.

MGS they probably do a nice 'canned' mail order tune for the GT2.

Nothing beats tailoring the the Motronic tune to the car on a dyno though, having said that there are tuners (particularly overseas) that cant match our mail order GTR tune with their custom efforts so I see where you are coming from.....and you cant be a total wanker, your car isnt red, doesnt have a dancing pony on the bonnet, and I bet you dont have a Puma Schumacher edition driving suit and booties on while performing the mobile chicane on track days. These are the qualifications of the true wanker :P

LMAO @ the miniature bunkers on your golf hole!

Your push bike in the garage is probably worth more than my house hahaha. Awesome toys you have there Mark...I don't doubt you would work some real prick hours as an MD. And hey, if you've got the goods then flaunt them.

    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
