Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.

Shame. Always good to let the builder to do the tune :(

 

Hopefully it all turns out ok in the end.

 

Out of interest, how much are you expecting this 'run in tune' to cost?

Tomei built it.

The only person who knows what is going on is Sean. At the end of the day, he is a great tuner and hence why we have him on as a sponsor. He has a great deal of knowledge with these motors and also has a number of supporters. A lot of the people that use him speak greatly of what he does. However, not everyone uses him and anyone that has either built a car or required a major re-tune will tell you that these things take a lot of time. 

 

I can appreciate that it is difficult from your end as you just want your car back. Although it's been 3 weeks since you delivered it to Sean, there has been a few things that have come up in that time.

 

1) the fuel pump

2) he fell ill for a week

3) Jambo - a massive marketing opportunity for him that probably results in a lot of revenue for his business

4) the ECU

 

The added difficulty is when you have people who haven't built a car before asking why it hasn't been done yet. You've got a brand new engine which is worth some decent coin along with some very nice go-fast bits, you don't want this rushed and botched.

 

My 2c, speak to Sean and try and maintain a positive frame of mind. :) I know that it isn't easy, but that's what you need to do. 

 

Bunta and Colin had theirs tuned there and they were both quite nice and white and 32s and GT-Rs.... Creepy :P

+1 to this. The people outside of this situation are being quite inflammatory, insinuating somthing is broken, or that the tuner is being underhanded ect. Its not at all helpful to Ants or one of our club sponsors.

Ants, my advice is this. If you want an update every few days, ring up and ask. Every work shop I have ever dealt with operates like this. None of them will ring you unless they need something or its done.

Everyone else shut the f**k up!!!!

    • I think he was only proposing to use the wire, not the sender. Simply because it runs from the right place to the right place. Personally, I wouldn't hack up the factory wiring like that. I'd just lay in the Defi loom.
    • From memory it wasn't too hard to simply see which wire ran where when you plug that in. Unfortunately also from memory the OEM sender does not use the same configuration 99.9% of gauges run. So in other words if you connect the signal wire that was running to the OEM gauge to your DEFI gauge you might find your oil reads at 200C or some other incorrect value. I remember having the same line of thought and then running new wires/senders to match the gauges I have. The pinout is available in the R34 workshop manual.
    • Does anyone on here know which wire on the GTT triple gauge pod harness is for the oil temp gauge? my sensor works fine but I upgraded the gauges to DEFI advance. And if I can simply piggyback off the oem oil temp wire to the Defi oil temp sensor wire that would make life so much easier.
