Nah not tonight. Finished off most of Pav's S15 last night. Just going to go over the whole tune one more time to make sure everything is safe. Then I can grab the wideband for my car and finish it off.

I want my AEM wideband kit to show up so i can head out for a play with mine

I'll try and remember to ask everyone if there keen for a road trip to townsville. When my GF gets her new Polo GTI we want to go to Townsville for a weekend so that might be a good time, even if my cars not there

how has that been going? i've been following his thread on NS, i think you need to invest in a kmon and do a tuning course :whistling: and start making some $$$$.

i'll give you a call later to come & get that dvd.

Yeah most of the tuning is done on it. I havn't really seen his thread (got a link?). Will probably go out one more time and it will pretty much be done. A tuning course would be great just to learn all the little tricks that you can't really pick up on by yourself. Like for example getting a car with a Power FC to idle properly seems near impossible. There is simply bugger all settings for idle and it may be perfect one day but then crap the next.

Also I find the hardest thing about tuning a car is not the actual tuning itself, but the damn troubleshooting of a problem. I completely understand why workshops love tuning brand new Holden and Fords. All the parts are brand new and there is simply nothing wrong with the car. With 15-20 year old cars, gone through 4 different owners with parts ripped off here and there just leads to so many problems that take ages to narrowdown.

I will get a kmon eventually because I want to hard wire it into my car so it pulls timing upon detonation. Would be good to use on Power FCs aswell because I don't really trust those factory knock sensors.

Hey Phil what are you able to tune? Are you able to tune a nistune?

Havn't used Nistune yet. But I hadn't used a Power FC until two weeks ago and picked that up fairly quickly so don't see why Nistune would be any harder.

The guy who does my tuning is really good for this

Playing with timing and fuel he got mine from hunting randomly to running perfect at idle all day every day. Will be one of the things I quiz him about when we have a go at my car with the next mod I have planned

I need this fixed in mine again, I think cause of the lightweight flywheel its a bit funny at idle at times. I can see how that would be the case, taking a few kilos of rotating mass when the engine is at its laziest point

      If you are Ecutek tuned then these TCU tunes are anywhere from $550 to $700 usd. If you are not ECUTEK tuned, then it gets costly!

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?

      Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it

      All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.

      That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
