Yeah but they aren't too familiar with rb's, they seem more rotary based.

Is hard to find someone who knows rb's n/a cars and haltechs with out the "that will do" or "that's close enough" attitude

aim is to have it ready well before the all jap day at silverwater on Nov 13 and there is stuff i need to do outside the tune

thought you went to castle hill exhaust

(oh and im trying to find someone close to sea level as possible as you know my car doesnt have an altitude adjuster :P )

next week ill start calling up the tuners that i have in mind, will keep everyone updated

Got a call from Mick first thing this morning, and there may have been a bit of misinterpretation on my part,

mick said that he said; i got to have all these cars ready for a race meet which all these and these i sponsor have to be ready for the long weekend

so my bad in my part there

but yeah he also hadn't realised it had been there for so long and said im right to have the shits but he has promised that nothing else will leave his shop until my car is done

So yeah we'll see how it goes from here

I doubt he reads the forums, and ive also had heaps of time to build joels rb26/30de and make it all 100% like brand new & perfect. But i guess having a whinge gets things moving

though still need to fit the oil cooler, new oil and filter and plugs (after its run in), fit and adjust the new coilovers, fit the catch can, give it a decent wash and go for a pie run and drive to new castle all before 13th of November

Will up load pics, dyno sheet pic and a couple vids tonight (no driving videos, as i was driving)

But f**k me its fun to drive.... light goes green, slight hesitation then at speed limit before i get to change to 2nd, and i haven't tried full throttle yet, more trying to keep it on the speed limit for now :D

No skids i like my licence, (if there were i wouldn't post it :P )

and my phone decibel app says its at 98 decibel at idle... will need to get that checked out

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
