I'd like to bash him for all the rude comments he makes.

No seriously, his head is made of mild steel rather than alluminium so it wont get bigger if we praise him. I find it's because at 3.258495 Litres you get optimum head efficiency and any more is a waste of time.

:(

I Propose a SAU Hall of Fame for the likes of Sydney Kid and others. Newbies will be able to tell those who have technical knowledge from the likes of me and others. (If they don't notice that his replies are well thought out, detailed and answers your question!)

Thanks for all the help!

Hahaha Rev, I think that you'll find most "traditional" older tuners don't like nitrous, especially those with a circuit background :P

I think it's great to have people like SKid on the forums, as they not only have experience to assist and help people avoid making mistakes but are also willing to share their info.

John Munro, Mario, ylwgtr and anyone who contributes their automotive experience also fall into the same boat.

I can't agree more.

Always happy to give advice. It's a VERY rare thing to have someone with such knowledge that is willing to freely give advice.

I know of a heap of tuners/mechanics that would say "I know how to do it, but it's a trade secret".

Plus he likes Jack Daniels, so he must be an alright bloke :P

Yes i agree 100% with everyone, ur knowledge on modifications and things in general is much appreciated by all i beleive. Its good to see that most of ur replies go into great detail also and not just 1 or 2 lines. I sent u a pm recently thanking u. 2 cheers from me mate

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
