We can do craigs next week if he is keen, i wouldlike to do it one weeknight, give him a nudge in this direction :D

i have been looking at the emanage software and it lookspretty basic, i think the stock ecu is going to be the issue.

he's got a nismo ecu........

Tell you the truth I thought it was shit. I knew the other guy was a VE v6, and it was line ball right to the end. I thought I'd only go 14.x

Wasn't as fast as other runs, because I think I held 3rd too long. Was shifting at 6k, because there is no more power over that, I was into 4th every time before the line.

Alex, how did you find manually shifting? Was there much delay in getting the next gear?

Mine seems much slower changing in manual mode compared to how hard/fast it slams thru in auto under wot.

It's pretty much instantaneous Leon. Only gear I have to think about is 1-2 which feels like a 500rpm lag. Other than that it's pretty much on the dot, say 200rpm. That's the benefit of being able to adjust the torque management tables in uprev.

Its also a product of the Transgo kit as you guys know.

Where it doesn't drop into gear is when you are on part throttle or light throttle, and if you are using manual, it will take quite a while to pick up the next gear. I could tune this out, but it would mean slightly harsher shifts on auto which really there is no benifit. If you put your foot down, then it shifts up when you ask.

Yeah, 13.84 at 99.98......FUUUU.... Wish it said 100.

Funny enough, my 14.8 single spinner still went over 100mph. Was in rwd. Will go back in awd fr some launch action.

As weird as it is wheel spin normally helps with mph even tho u run a slower time

Well, today I got the front shaft back in, just in time for it to be raining in Sydney for a few days which is nice.

Also had an impromptu Castor bush fitting session, after Jetwreck decided they were flogged out and I needed new ones! Has made the car a fair be more pointy in the front end, and decreased some of my NVH.

Ah, and had a look down a fujitsubo compared to my Nismo exhaust today while they were next to each other- very different in the rear can. The Nismo has a single pipe through the rear can, that ends in a 2.5 inch or so single outlet that leads to the twin tips. The Fujitsubo on the other had splits into two sections almost immediately in the rear can, and continues through to the tips. So there you go.

Today I went for a front and rear alignment at heasmans in south Sydney. I've had work done by them before, and while they are not the cheapest, their work, and experience and the cars they work on are all top notch.

No print outs, as it was done manually, but I had a little camber taken out of the rear, so it's now about 1.5 degrees, and rear toe in was reduced from 7mm to about 2mm. This has reduced the jumping round feeling I got from the rear under really short sharp bumps. Everything else was just about perfect.

Thinking about heading back out the drags in the near future with awd to keep these pesky little 2.5s at bay...

    • 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. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
