I'm having trouble locating some mesh for my new front bar (minimum purchase from one place was 12m by 24m, yes meters :thumbdwn: ). Do you guys have any suggestions? I am after diamond style mesh with the diamond being about 2cm by 1cm.

Thanks in advance.

AFAIK, its just sitting down there.  

Perhaps give Mark a call.  I will be going in this arvo to have my exh cam dialed in, I can ask for you then if you like.

Great, that would be good mate. I need 1m x 1m I suppose. Let me know.

Just checked with Mark, he said no probs, just go down and see him - although grepin was down there and I noticed the mesh I had was a little smaller than his, so may not be exactly what you are looking for.

1mx1m is a fair bit, are you doing making a front bar our of mesh?:P

Thanks for that. I thought he'd prefer to get rid of larger portions, so smaller is better for sure.

You got good grunt from dyno runs today I hear, are you happier?

I have had a good run in the last day or so, basically tidying up tune and boost leaking from stock BOV. I've gone from 250 to 265 at the same boost (1.2 bar) and heaps more mid range. Car fells totally different, feels like it's ready to kill me!

Sounds good. Its amazing how much difference a small boost leak can rob. I got my boost in about 3-400rpm earlier from blocking the PCV valve, tidied idle up a bit too.

I spent nearly 3 hours dialing in the cams only to find the original setting was close to right. It is amazing, the difference was only minimal going from 0deg to -5deg on the the exhaust.

I am happy considering the setup. The exhaust is definately killing power up top, but that is what you get for a street legal, quiet exhaust. I knew this would be the case, as when I put it on it killed power/spool up when compared to the N1 system I had on previously.

I made 270 at 1.1 bar, 285 at 1.2bar, (not that great when I was making 256 at 1 bar without cams, but the engine has been decompressed) and there after the car starts choking. Final figure was 309. Also, I think I may need to change my intercooler to throttle body pipe - its only 2 1/2 inches diameter, so I am sure a 3" pipe will help it breathe a little better (it was 3" before the trust plenum went on, mick seemed to think it would be worth alot to upgrade). I will get it up on the rollers again when the pipe is sorted, and might just rip off the exhaust to see what happens.

Sounds like its time to get some decent rubber if you havent already, normal street tyres just dont seem to like much over 230-240rwkw.

Group buy for RE540s anbody?:(

Thanks Whats, much happier, Shaun at Boost Worx really put in the effort and care needed and the important thing is the way it drives not the numbers so much.

Steve and co., no more RE540s in Oz left!!! Running them out for the new RE55 which is CRAP, just ask Chris32, only lasted 3000km, whereas Grepin's (and Whats's) RE540s are not quite as grippy but have lasted a long time with a good old caning. Fantastic tyre the 540, pitty.

Bridgestone comming out with harder compound RE55 to address durability issues as there are a number of race categories that are really pissed off with the swapp from 540s to 55s. I think late March for new rubber. Other dissapointing thing is the new RE55s are asymetric.

      Timing map only tells part of the story, I've seen a few cars where the CAS has been adjusted so you might see 12 at the ECU but at the motor you could be seeing 8 kind of thing. A S15 I converted from PowerFC to Nistune had just that, CAS was turned back to have less timing than the ignition map itself lol... "Choonered".

      But your running 1.6 bar of boost, is it still 12 degrees of timing at 1.6 bar of boost? Also, is there e85 fuel at the petrol stations in Dubai?

      Manual Shifter slightly bounces/moves/vibrates when accelerating/deaccelerating

      Congratulations on your find  Did you mean it has 6k miles or was that a typo? Firstly, keep in mind some movement of the shifter is normal...it is a long rod hanging out of a box bolted to the engine. Having said that there are 2 next places to look: 1. Transmission and engine mounts. If these are worn or broken the shifter will move around more. They are reasonably easy to source and replace on a hoist, and possible but uncomfortable to replace car stands 2. On the bottom of the shifter there is a nylon cup that sits over shifter's ball end. If this is worn or broken the shifter will move around more than it should (but will still shift OK). That is a cheap part and requires removal of centre console, rubber shifter hole covers and a circlip in the gearbox shifter hole to remove the shifter. Re maintenance, as with any new import you should change all the fluids including transmission when you get it; never trust the seller and previous owners to have done the right thing. I am pretty sure R34 GTT is the same as earlier big box transmissions, so use any good quality GL4 75w90 trans fluid if it is shifting well (if it is hard to shift due to synchro wear, redline shockproof lightweight will keep it alive a bit longer before rebuild is required)
