Fair enough

I no each car is different i was hoping to help you and others further just need base figures to work with

but never mind thanks anyway

All good!

As mentioned in PM, im pretty sure im at my upper limit RE: SAFC tune. As from that point on, no matter what we did with timing/airflow adjustments, it never got any better. Seemed to be the sweet spot. And id rather fiddle with it on the dyno if you were to forward a bit of info. And i wont be spending any more on it untill i can afford /ask the mrs if its ok/etc etc, to buy a G4 :D

GotRice? is all about the US imports :blush:

So you're going to skip the GTSLink idea?

Te he he. Too Troo!

Not entirely... maybe just a G4 GTS link :D If i go with what Keith said, getting the later one would be a better way to go.

Speaking of.. can he get them?

Fair enough

If you're in Sydney, I can have a play with your SAFC for free and get the A/F to what you want. I used to run the older SAFC in my 180SX.

But saying that, I've hopped on the band wagon and am running a power FC

Its cool mate thank you but my cars not even in the country.

I have info given to me from Apexi regarding settings for different states of tune plus other setting from other cars set up on dyno

I just thought i could help but its all sorted via pm

Thanks

I would say speak to Dan first. Adrian is going G4, as well as possibly others :D There could end up being a group buy, so don't go running off without consulting TLR HQ.

I am quietly horrified at peoples reliance on S-AFCs, and even more so the whole "Base numbers to work from" concept. If someone made a robotic arm designed to give cut-throat shaves, but having it hard coded to suit the face of the guy who created it - a base to work with as most people have roughly the same looking face... would you use it?

Much the same thing, except your engine is the one who gets pwnt.

something to start with would be simple bending the signal around 5% under full load if you have a standard ecu with more boost. but if you cant figure that much out for yourself you really shouldnt be playing with it

So you're saying do this regardless of knock or AFRs? And you're saying who shouldn't really be playing with it...?

5% is no where near enough to make it too lean when running higher boost. standard ecu AFR's dip into the 10s under full load most of the time, even if it was holding 11.5:1 5% correction would bring it up to 12:1. even 12.5:1 isnt gonna hurt a standard motor. same goes for timing, 5% would move it up 1 row tops, worst case scenario you'll end up in knock maps which barely have enough timing to run, let alone knock.

of couse you'd atleast use premium if you were going to do it.

Did you read my posts?????

    • To expand on this to help understanding... The bigger/longer the block is, the more it's going to work to sit on your far away high areas, and not touch the low stuff in the middle. When you throw the guide coat, and give it a quick go with a big block, guide coat will disappear in the high spots. If those high spots are in the correct position where the panel should be, stop sanding, and fill the low spots. However, using a small block, you "fall off" one of the high spots, and now your sanding the "side of the hill". Your little block would have been great for the stone chips, where you only use a very small amount of filler, so you're sanding and area let's say the size of a 5/10cent piece, with something that is 75*150. For the big panel, go bigger!   And now I'll go back to my "body work sucks, it takes too much patience, and I don't have it" PS, I thought your picture with coloured circles was an ultra sound... That's after my brain thought you were trying to make a dick and balls drawing...
    • Oh I probably didn't speak enough about the small sanding block for blocking large areas.  In the video about 3 minutes in, he talks about creating valleys in the panel. This is the issue with using a small sanding block for a large area, it's way too easy to create the valleys he is talking about. With a large block its much easier to create a nice flat surface.  Hard to explain but in practice you'll notice the difference straight away using the large block. 
    • Yep I guessed as much. You'll find life much easier with a large block something like this -  https://wholesalepaint.com.au/products/dura-block-long-hook-loop-sanding-block-100-eva-rubber-af4437 This is a good demo video of something like this in use -    You have turned your small rock chip holes into large low spots. You'll need to fill and block these low spots.  It's always a little hard not seeing it in person, but yes I would go ahead and lay filler over the whole area. Have a good look at the video I linked, it's a very good example of all the things you're doing. They went to bare metal, they are using guide coat, they are doing a skim coat with the filler and blocking it back. If what you're doing doesn't look like what they are doing, that's a big hint for you  
    • The odometer does go up when driving.  Does this tell it is an issue with the speedometer itself?    Where can I look for replacement cluster? Or speedo? I can likely do the repair.. Will ER34 cluster work on HR34? Or do I need a HR34 20GT S2 specifically lol   
    • Mine's a bit bigger at 70x150mm roughly. The spots are flat, just can feel the edges if I dig my nail into it. I did fix some other other ones by both using my finger to sand that small spot (I'm a bit wary of doing this and creating hot spots and a bigger mess) and I also did sand over it flat and others, but this also worried me a bit because if I create an overall low spot on the panel on paint that is good.  Correct me if I'm wrong but as long as it's flat even if I can feel the edges, I can put filler because it will all be level once I sand it? I can see myself going in a circle after sanding guidecoat with 320 grit if for example the panel is flat with my hand but because I sanded the guidecoat I could have created a low spot again somewhere. Unless where I'm going wrong is what I mentioned previously where I didn't go low enough on the grits. It's 1 step forward and 2 step backwards here haha. I'll probably need to experiment with it more. Last time I go back to bare metal lol.
