Full confidence in Jez, he doesn't strike me as someone who would think fumes in the boot is acceptable.

Jez picks up hitch hikers on the Pacific Highway and if they are still conscious 30 mins later then the system passes the test....

haha, thats a worry, I do not think I want to leave my car with someone that picks up hitch hikers, well, unless they are really HOT!

not that it will make any difference but what did the Teflon braided cost for the job, just wondering the price difference between that and a cheaper alternative ?

I can't remember whet the hose cost. As its my daily I have 3 kids to cart around so I didn't want any fuel smell so Teflon in the boot and series 400 outside the boot

Talked to Jez today and he is using the Teflon Braided lines, so all good.

I have kids too, so I know what you mean and the trouble with petrol you do not need more than a drop or 2 and it hangs in there for yonks :/

The original one is in this thread.

The car hasn't been to another tuner yet.

But you'd know that, because you'd read a thread before commenting.

I dropped the car at the tuners yesterday and think Mark means the Dyno print from the test run. I think they were just having a look at it and said the tune was pretty good, so we will see what we end up with.

The car will need the other work done before the final tune and I should get a before and after result off the same dyno to post.

Correct Pete, thought you might've had something already. Initial feedback positive at least...

will be getting something later today I think.

The initial feedback was that the tune was OK, there were a few things to look at but it was just a run for him to see what is going on.

It's in good hands up at jez's shop :)

It will be interesting to see how it turns out considering he said the tune was OK and pretty aggressive, so we will soon find out.

XKLABA drove it and posted a few thoughts on an earlier page

Talking about XKLABA, he was 1st in his class at the Tamworth round of the NSW Hillclimb Championship and only 0.33 off the class record, go Mick :banana:

I think he was 8th or 9th overall :cheers:

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
