Yep, same, mate.

I've always tried to follow the "do it once, and do it properly" philosophy.

Now to decide if I wanna spend big on a new head unit with reverse camera, sat nav, iPod connectivity and blue tooth, or just update to something with iPod and BT only. I've got a pretty recent Garmin GPS with free updates for life, I just need to keep it in the car. I just hate having hundreds of different things hanging off the windscreen and dash. Would much rather an all-in-one solution and have the convenience of optional reversing camera available too.

eonon have some ok stuff if you don't want to pay $2k for an alpine gps one (or whatever they cost

my mate had one in his evo9 and it was pretty good for the price they cost (was a few years ago too)

some of them run android now too

:yucky:

Tez is using an Eonon Double din in his Evo; maybe you should have a look and see what it is like?

Sounds good, but he was still working out some of the functionality when I was last in it.

I might, actually. I need a single-DIN unit, which makes the number of choices a whole lot slimmer. Still, I'll have a look at Terry's Evo when we catch up next, maybe next week at the Club Exec meeting.

Haven't been on for a while. But ripped out the POS Asuka TV tuner thing and replaced it with a RaspPi running OpenELEC with a custom skin...works a treat. All I need now is a GPS receiver and touchscreen overlay...

I finally got my turbo replaced and now running my HKS 2530 that was sitting in the shed for about 2 years

How hard was it to run the RaspPi in the your car ironpaw and what are you using for a screen

Hey,

it was pretty easy since I just reused most of the existing wiring that was there for the Asuka tuner (RCA vid/audio in)

My stag has the standard pop up display so I used that. All I had to do was wire in a USB port in the cubby hole near the rear gate. Also downloaded a CarPC skin with auto resume script so it remembers my last played position. Bought a cheapo IR remote from ebay to complete the setup.

Cusco brake stopper fitted :) and new waste gate springs arrived try and hold some boost opens at12 ATM and holds 16-17 need to hold 20 plus make some more power:)!!!!

booked in for a dynotune. a proper one, not this run-in tune Ive been on for too long

excited :)

going to adjust timing to get rid of the cold start flat spot (been there since I swapped out the CAS), and tune for high boost

not sure what boost to aim for, its a hyrbid GT3076IW-BB core with ported front stock housing and .73ar rear

apparently good for ~ 1.5bar

Im thinking let them go for it on the dyno to see where they can get to safely.

309kw @ 19psi dropping to 17 (i think :P)for my 2nd run in tune on the heartbreaker dyno. Running it rich until full boost tune at 3000kms... 800 to go :D Full boost will hopefully be around 25psi with the 3076r and Tomei built motor, I guess we'll see where she starts to choke.

Redline is now 8000rpm with the new harmonic balancer, which is entertaining lol. The Old Girl actually feels quick, now to get her fast...

I reckon the colour coding looks great, whole car is looking good!

    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.  
    • No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
    • Just wanted to unearth this and post my baby with the new front ❤️😝 Took her to my wedding rehearsal today. Next up is getting wide skirts (after wedding)
