yeah i was watching a movie last night and felt like my eyes were normal for a bit lol.

okay not much progress, besides booking it in for a tune with a very very well known RB workshop who visits melbourne here and there :)
so all that is left is get some money together for the ID1000s and fix the earth issue in the dash that is stopping the climate control and head unit from turning on

after MONTHS of trying to pin point the source of a missfire,
i had a Powerfc plugged in with a stock basemap and a 5k limiter (because still running it in)

Bro m not sure what to expect with the new story but what I know is you're the most unlucky son of a b!tch I know, so I sincerely hope this is good news lol

Edited by gtr judd

had a photoshoot lined up.
besides little things like belt squeels etc, the car was perfect.
washed it etc on friday night. it was looking pretty as ever :)
picked up my panel beater and off we went, to meet the photo dude.
long story short, smokes billowing out the driver side of the bonnet. have a look at the PFC and everything is in order.
da f**k?

pull over, mate pops the bonnet. f**kING FIRE!
THE FUSEBOX IS ON FIRE!
like a man on a mission, zayn empties his sprite into the fusebox and puts out the fire.
we stood there and laughed, and laughed and laughed, and maybe called a towtruck. but laughed again,
it could have been SO MUCH WORSE.

fast forward to this week end.
new bodyloom is in. i dont know why it caught fire, but i suspect its the bodgy wiring job by the previous owner.
should be good to go on saturday :)

soz. was up watching ross kemp docos.

booked in for a tune at Racepace.
the excitement is mounting. the car has been running beautifully, and it seems like this motor is very very torquey. all it wants to do is kill tyres lol

Untuned... Smokes tyres... Those two should never be in the same paragraph. :domokun:

You got injectors yet? I haven't heard from you for a quote mate... The Xspurt 1000's are on special at the moment. ;)

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
