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

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
