So far so good.

Johnny has called and let me know of the current status.

I stuck around there for a little this morning just chatting to the guys (while waiting for a lift to work). They are friendly and seem genuinely interested in looking after you and your business.

Thumbs UP!

Im booked in for Rego and servicing at Trojan today.

I called them yesterday. Johnny answered, he sounds good and sounded more than willing to help me out.

I'll see how it goes.

Question: Where are trojan? i checked the yellow pages and couldn't find them listed.

Have had a few mates go through them with great results, I will be taking my car to either them or Ed @ Integra for servicing etc.

Awesome. i'll be giving them a call soon. I'm having boost/misfire problems with the stagea and i've got my bother's skyline in town with major electrics problems too. I'd go to Ed, but mitchell is closer at the moment

Boost Missfire problems around 4000rpm. i put the stock solenoid back in, and now it has a massive spaz when i boost, then i don't get any boost, i think it opens the wastegate totally and doesn't let any pressure build up. anywho, we'll see what someone who knows about cars says.

I'll be coming in on Thursday with the Stagea and Friday with the Skyline. too many cars with dodgy RB25DET's.... wish they'd just work

Last time I was at Jakes, he didn't have a dyno, he used the business next door's, they had an in floor 2wd one [from memory].

Can't remember their business name, it was the shop right next door and immediately towards the city side.

I need to:

Install a Tomei adjustable cam gear, belts and water pump.

Set up my new power FC.

I thought of Jake's [and was happy with his work] but wasn't sure if he was familiar with the gear, I'd go to him again if he 'had the knowledge' so to speak. Otherwise Trojans may be it?

PS I'd consider Ed if he had a Dyno.

Ed has access to multiple dynos including Autotech in Fyshwick.

If you want a dyno tune, tell him and you shall recieve it :P Most people stick to street tune as its cheaper and works effectively for what most people want. He has no problem doing the tunes on a dyno though.

Id confidently say he would be the most knowledgeable and experienced with the Power FC in Canberra (come on, tell me at least one other tuner who has tuned a GTR using a D-Jetro (AFM'less) version of the PFC in Canberra? :D)

EDIT: I also forgot to mention, he is the only one in Canberra with the Datalogit laptop software, and he has the genuine Apexi laptop software on its way from Japan. Means he can do much nicer tunes than simply using the hand controller.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.

      ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
