Just a small correction.. you can BUY everything that the cyber evo and tilton has run in the past. It even has a catalogue number and there are numerous cars in japan and usa running it. In the case

the transient response on the powertune car seems excellent I'm skeptical for the ARK R32. I think they're putting too much value in theory and not enough in simplicity or reliability. I anticipate

Thanks for this info, I'll pass it on to a mate of mine who is having/has had work done there just to make sure he checks everything himself.

That's utterly appalling and is grounds for legal action, in terms of negligence.

Sux is one way to describe it.

On closer inspection we believe it's been ground by hand, not as a result of scrubbing.

There's only the lightest witness mark on the rotor, certainly not the damage you'd expect if it was in contact enough to destroy the arm.

The problem is the clearance to the rotor, obviously when the rotors where installed on my car, instead of correctly spacing them, the person (who shall remain nameless) chose to butcher my arms instead of doing things properly. To hell with my expensive arms or my safety!!

In the words of the workshop who currently has my car:

The issue is the incorrect brake rotor offset. The existing front brake set up is an absolute mess.[/size]

· No rotor location to hub, other than on the thread of the studs

· Rim location to hub is only 1 mm

· Calliper not central to rotor

· Calliper body fouling on dog bone

· Calliper mounts in uprights have been drilled (opened up to allow radial alignment of the calliper to the rotor )

· Dog bone to upright threads stripped – calliper was loose.

· Etc etc

WTF!!!, that's is truely farked up, luckily that didn't end badly for you whilst lapping this thing

And the reason I do all my own work, then I know what's going on and feel safer tracking them

It's been like it for atleast 12months. Lucky for me my car hasn't done many laps during this time......given I've only made it to lunch twice in the last 12months.

We've been so busy chasing "other" issues it's been missed.

Certainly now on the must fix list!!

It will be resolved properly after WTAC. For the moment we'll just try and add some strengthening and do minimum laps Fri/Sat.

Pretty much all you do at WTAC anyway... Pick a session with reasonable weather and go do 1 hot lap, then park it like a pro.. ;)

I hate dodgy workmanship with a passion. People like that need to be taken out back and beat with a hose.

On a positive note, all the best to those competing in this year's WTAC. Eager to see how Richo goes in clubsprint.

So apparently it is going to rain Friday and probably Saturday.

Will be interesting to see who has done some wet weather testing and how quickly the teams respond

Did you see the rooster tail from the S15 in testing :woot:

Is there much cover at the track for spectators? I've never been.

Bring an umbrella?

Yes and no... Brolly is a good investment me thinks...

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.

      My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By pacman_1219 · Posted

      Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?

      What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
