Stevesn just upset cos u r whoring his thread, but we all know he whores everyone elses...

nah, just trying to redirect Matt away from this whole drag thing, and it worked:p

The signal guys will be here for a few days at least. James has a lot of spares there, so most things shouldnt be a problem - its amazing what you can source on short notice if you have to. Signal can make things happen pretty quick too, James got some tyre sent out from Japan within days for the Melb drift comp because signal made a phone call for him. they have alot of sway with other companies in Japan, PLUS they have a huge number of bits on the shelves over there - so when the manager of Signal calls and tells them to make something happen, it will. (Hiko san, the manager of Signal will be out too, he is the owners brother, so if he cant make things happen, they were never meant to be)

Fuel, well thats easy, just drain and refill.

If everything goes pie eyed, well thats just the nature of the beast - it does happen. But this sort of opportunity wont come knocking too often. If I worry too much about what might go wrong, then I would probably never get anything done. Spose all I can do is prep the car the best I can, plugs, fuel filter, make sure there isnt anything else obviously wrong and leave the rest to the gods:)

AFAIK its still going ahead - have to check. James was trying to get it orgainised for mid May to coincide with the Drift day - he mentioned Bai was planning on heading over at the same time so he could carve up Mallala.

I will have to confirm dates, unless autObarn is out there and can confirm?

Hi all

seeking expressions of interest

D1 Garage are looking like getting Signal Japan's top tuner out here to perform their magic, they will be bringing all the laptop software for Japanese ECUS.  

It wont be cheap, expect to pay between $1000 and $1500 for a full tune - not just power, but a full map from idle.

Whilst this isnt cheap, it is quite good value for a japanese tuning guru to come over and get the best possible safe performance from your car.  

Numbers available, currently need 5 cars to make it worth while for the tuner to come out - air fairs hotel accomodation etc.  

currently 3 spots are pretty much spoken for

Anyway guys, please put the word out, I would really love to see what these guys can do with my car - this is pretty close to a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Hey Man, put me down on your list, i have a fussy bit at the top of my rev range no-one seems to be able to get rid off! I have no problem paying as long as i get a wicked tune! :aroused:

I wonder who I sent it to then?????? Sent one seconds after my last post on this thread?

I actually have bad news. Signal are going to be busy around mid May - just found out today:( I checked with James, and he is negotiating for another date, but he doesnt want to commit until it is confirmed - shouldnt be too long though.

I will definately let you know as soon as its confirmed.

    • Just to be clear, there were no lights or codes when the hiccups were occurring. Also nothing noticeable in the cars' braking. It brakes fine and the dash is clear. I only made the connection when it did throw a code and suddenly, despite the lights, it felt great again. 
    • Yeah they are sliders and this was in my head before I worked out it was the speed sensor.
    • Ok so we have a smoking gun.  A few weeks ago I had to replace a speed sensor that I'd fit incorrectly. I replaced the sensor and everything was fine with no lights or codes thrown any longer.  When I was doing some more bedding in yesterday I got ABS and traction control lights again and, considering when this happens those things are disabled, the pedal went back to normal with smooth braking and no hiccups.  The codes thrown are for the same speed sensor that I replaced. When I looked at the sensor I took out it looks like the tip of the sensor is damaged. So whatever happened to it, perhaps it has damaged the magnetic ring on the bearing (that I only replaced the other week). I'll get my boroscope in the hole where the sensor goes and see if there is any damage in there. Hopefully just the tip of the sensor is in there and the bearing is fine. 🤞🏻  It's worth noting also that the pedal hiccup happens more often and for longer periods now and totally goes away when the codes are thrown again which happens usually after 5 or so minutes of driving. Love all your help here as usual guys, thanks!
