No preference, they seem to have shops all over the place these days anyway, all with 30+ courtesy cars parked out the front

Well, I've had bad experience from the Deer Park one along with another member here. The owner or in charge there is a young guy which tried to milk my money and did apparently stuff another members car on here....

Thinking I want a GS now...I'll let Leigh post his times lol

Haha yeah good quick daily with no cop troubles :D

So yeah was 2 degrees up at heathcote and track was very dewy and glazed they had to call it off just after 9 so only got in 3 runs.

first run was just sussing out the track 12.2 @ 126mph with a 2.2 60ft, really just let off line slowly.

2nd run did a 11.61 @ 126mph with 1.85 60ft (more like it but knew it had bit more in it)

3rd run bit later in the night again and you could really tell track wasn't up to scratch 11.8 @ 126mph with a lot of wheel spin then that was it.

I had the gopro on helmet so i'll post up my 11.61 run

Apart from ripping you off how was the workmanship? I'm not paying for it so cost doesn't bother me

Not too sure about the workmanship as my stolen car was towed to them until my insurance picked it up, just glad I didn't have to deal much with them.

Been to WestWood Auto Body Shop on Westwood drive, while their customer service was good, their workmanship wasn't the best. Having to get them redo my car twice before getting it to a decent level.

First visit, the rear bumper wasn't repaired properly as the cracks in the bumper were still visible. Second time it had about 3-4 drops of clear coat almost the size of rain drops...

If they're willing to be dodgy in one aspect of the business, I'd be concerned about their attitude towards other practices like workmanship too...likely have apprentices working on your car and save time cutting corners etc.

Like those horror workshops who charge people 50k to tek screw their body kits on.

11.6? damn. what tyres?

stock engine with bolt-ons (injectors, turbo, exhaust and ECU) won't crack 200 and still I cost me $600 for a tune. I'm thinking its worthy getting work done on it now while it's out. the block still requires machining to convert to FWD

got call from engine builder last night... spun 1 bearing, scoring on saddle and caps, cam lobes and springs damaged... sounds like I might have over-revved it too :S which I kinda remember doing at sandown. my shift light should get chucked in once back on the road and then get an electrical-cut rev limiter...

11.6? damn. what tyres?

Street tyres nitto nt05

I reckon with some proper slicks on a good night would be very close to a 10

I love how it was one of the quickest there and I just drive home :D apparently it was pretty funny cos of how quiet the car is compared to the ones I was racing

Saw you drive past me Thursday night as I was turning into Knox you gigantic phaggot

Home Alone didnt have a plot twist.

Lost In Translation didnt have a plot twist.

Monsters Inc. didnt have a plot twist.

Every Stanley Kubric probably didnt have a plot twist.

Oliver Twist didnt have a plot twist.

Twister didnt have a plot twist.

The Plot To Kill Hitler didnt have a plot twist.

Joey and the Plot Twist didnt have a plot twist.

Home Alone - kid got left home alone

Lost In Translation - when bill murray's character meets a chick you expect him to fall in love with she instead makes him remember he loves his family

Monsters Inc. - the monster realise that scaring children is bad

Oliver Twist - after getting kicked out of the orphanage he ends up around criminals, which in turn reminds him that he doesn't want to be like them

Twister - dude is trying to divorse his mrs because of her tornado obsession, but then ends up chasing tornado's with her

Every Stanley Kubric - the shining.... is just a series of plot twists joined together. clockwork orange has alex turning good and then bad again. full metal jacket has private pile commit suicide

The Plot To Kill Hitler - hitler was in a room of trusted officers when one of them placed a suitcase full of explosives next to him (albeit on the wrong side of the table leg) after surviving this hitler became much more cautious.

Joey and the Plot Twist - this is just something you made up.

    • Well it wasn't as easy as I thought.... and it also wasn't in my original manual which I did end up finding. They discuss the process in the Nismo catalogue though and it requires slight machining. Page 145.  NISMO PARTS CATALOGUE 2020
    • I'm an idiot, my intercooler is rated for 1000hp. I had clicked on the wrong product. Knowing the delta P would be nice, but I'm doubtful I'll do it. Now as for an EMAP, that would be great and I'll get around to it eventually but from my findings in my last post, I'm considering a turbo swap now. 
    • You sir, big win tonight. Precision never supplied compressor maps in the past and Idk when they started, but it seems they only offer for a few of the older gen2's which is exactly what I have. I punched in some numbers and seem to have gone with the wrong turbo. 600-700whp isn't in the most efficient area and is close to the choke line. 800whp is well off the map. Punching the numbers into a 68mm gen2 turbo map is bang on in the center. Here I was thinking going smaller would shift the power band down, but in reality it would just make it so much worst due to my rev limit. I would have never thought. 
    • Increasing overlap will bring the torque down earlier (and make your idle sound sick lol). Worth a shot (if you dyno time) to experience a bit (providing you are confident your valves won't kiss your pistons). Is to just take off 5 degrees across the boosted area of the map, and then retard the exhaust cam let's say, 3 degrees at a time and then overlay all the runs with VCT on all the way and VCT off as soon as you make positive pressure. Ideally you would have a total of 6x overlays to looks at 0 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve 0 exhaust & VCT on all the way -5 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -5 exhaust & VCT on all the way -10 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -10 exhaust & VCT on all the way Just leave your O2 wideband closed loop on for all of the boost area & RPM, and hopefully there isn't too much fuel correction needed and the Haltech is fast enough to compensate (I do this, then apply the correction to the main table). Getting that overlay data should give you a good indication of what to aim for.
    • So, my main limitation here is that the car does not have an oil pressure sensor by default, just a switch. As part of my tune I bought an oil pressure sensor upgrade so I now have access to oil pressure levels and logging rather than just the boolean behaviour of the switch but this means I need to use the tuning app to display this value. So, this rules out using any other app on the iPad. The app will also flash when pressure drops which is a nice feature. I have replaced the centre screen with an Android one, which is awesome for Android Auto, but I think it might be too far away and out of my line of sight. I might add some gauges to it this weekend and just see. I guess if its just temp and oil pressure I can make them massive! 🤣
