I challenge you to find either my car rego, phone number, address or anything else that would indicate who owns my car (i.e. who i am) or where it is located :thumbsup: . I have always been very careful about what pictures are posted and anything that indicates who D_Stirls actually is, the only thing that has been posted is that my name is Dale.

EDIT!! actually at the moment there are 3 threads with my number in them but i'll deal with them shortly.

Also there is no connection between FB account and my D_Stirls persona, and unless i've accepted you you can't see anything on there anyway.

You'd be surprised Dale...just like Heslo was when he gave me a similar challenge recently.

I'd trace you back to your brother (and his business) which would give me a surname and anything else I wanted from there........anyone can be found if you have the right resources. >_<

^ and know where to look.

I managed to trace someone on ebay back to Brisbane and in another unrelated instance a person in Sydney after issues with money being taken from me... went as far as getting one persons credit ratings and financial history lol. Needless to say i got my money back :)

Point of story, no one is safe on the interwebs.

Yeah well just don't want to make it easy for the popo/regency. Who's to say that me and my brother have the same surname, quite common for half siblings to have different surnames. With your job i wouldn't challenge you as you have the connections and the know how.

As a side not;

NO-GRIP the mirage that was fitted with an 'EVO' engine had it's rego revoked via the mail and was requested to be produced to regency for an inspection when it was put on Car Sales.

Also Heath (the bloke with the VG30DETT in the S13) had his rego revoked when he posted his build thread online.

Very good point.......something I've never done either

One of the ways.

My point is not how well you can hide yourself...but why risk it ?

Chuck Norris is not on the internet... Chuck Norris is the internet.

And besides, no one messes with Chuck Norris, only Chuck Norris can mess with Chuck Norris.

Challenge revoked :whistling:

Just tightened up the security on my FB page, silly me had it viewable to friend of friends.

Funnly enough, only last night me and the mrs were googling our names, and my jaw dropped what came up. Some websites (1 was peeeepl.com or sumthing) pretty much summarise all the info on the web avaliable about you in one place. Freaked the shit out of me.

But yeh, i live by the "better be safe then sorry rule".

Haha yes, was a rather easy one :P the username was of great assistance too ;) lol. Even so, plenty more information available if you know where to look I guess, theres almost no point trying to hide your identity these days... it can all be traced back unfortunately :( esp. if a history of work is available, thats the easiest form of getting contact addresses and numbers, just gotta use a bit of creativity to get you there.

      Borg Warner EFR Series Turbo's V 2.0

      By Borci88 · Posted

      The answer to this would be I followed the documentation from Turbosmart which said each spring pressure could achieve a maximum of 5x it's rated pressure so the included smallest spring being the 6psi had a range up to 30psi. I went with the 12 because I figured it'd likely hover around 15psi as a base pressure however I was obviously wrong.    I have a log here that I'll dig out that is purely wastegate and no Mac valve controlling anything.   If it can't hold anywhere near 12psi, does that mean the straight gate is virtually wide open during a run? Or am I thinking about this all wrong.   I could Tee Piece into the cooler pipe pre intercooler where the wastegate gets its feed, and send that to the ecu and see how that reads, I just don't have a spare pressure sensor currently that's all.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      lol nice, I wouldn't worry about sanding back the filler to check for rust then. Yep very much a thing. Personally I don't do the panel beating, its very easy to have a panel beater sort that out for you. If they aren't doing any prep work the actual panel beating generally doesn't take long at all.  Have you taken before pictures before you started this project? I'd be keen to see the before and afters when you're done.

      Some good discussion in here, for the most part I can't really add too much to it - thought I'd add some notes to the datalog screen shot that probably aren't news to anyone but a good prop... this is assuming 25psi-ish should be the boost ceiling given the first post refers to 23psi.   To state the obvious, this issue seems super weird.  Turbo speed seems pretty lethagic to build, like the turbo isn't getting as much drive as it needs - and it doesn't help that wgdc keeps rising AFTER boost target then completely shuts duty at a point, which in theory should have the straight gate dump heaps past the turbo and funnily enough causes the huge drop off.  It seems like pretty blunt boost control tuning but I'd not call that the primary issue, so much as possibly not helping the situation. I'm curious, what does a pull look like with purely mechanical boost control?  Like purely wastegate?   There are things in this log and story that make it sound like there could be a significant restriction in the intercooler piping or something - but then it's also overshooting boost target which is NOT what you'd expect with a restriction.   I can see where people are coming from with the non-linear wastegate bypass (not that any valves are linear for this kind of thing), but it still doesn't make sense that it can't hold <20psi on a 12psi spring.    Have you, or can you try measuring pressure pre-intercooler?  Be pretty interesting to see what's happening there vs in the intake manifold - sorry if I've repeated old ground, I've kinda skimmed over but I could have missed something.  In terms of comments regarding the wg spring being closer to boost target, I haven't used a straight gate but part of the reason for having close to wg target is about fighting backpressure as well - I might be wrong, but I'd have thought that part of the point of using a butterfly valve like the straight gate does you actually don't have to resist pressure at all, on EITHER side of the gate.   It shouldn't need too much leverage to start opening, the spring being more to do with where it triggers opening as opposed to resisting boost & EMAP, though smarter people can correct me if I'm wrong there.

      Ah the car is a complete shitbox and not even worth a respray lol, for a professional to do it would probably cost 15k because of all of the dings and stufd but I was keen for a side project. Also solved the problem of being bored haha. But with the rust yeah I can always fix that in the future, not a huge issue for me. I found out yesterday that when a dent is created a high spot is created around it (the crown) and to fix it I either need to tap the edges or just sand over it. Which is what made my filler work a bit confusing originally lol.
