The idea behind putting it in the Projects section Pete is that more members will get visibility to it, I'm sure fewer members look in the RB30 section than they do the Projects section.

It's been a great read and I'm sure many others would enjoy having a read of the thread, and then hopefully eagerly awaiting future updates!! :)

PS. The surge tank enclosure looks great :thumbsup:

I was stiring mate, the thead is over for now and even if I wanted I do not know how the move the thread, lol

Thanks , I had a bit of Aluminium sheeting and a woman gave me a little scrap carpet that was pretty close to the colour in the boot and it came out OK but my back does not think so.

I will tell you my main gripe with some blokes on SAU that does not seem the same on other forums. They will take 20 to 100 words to tell you to search something and call you a wanker for not looking on the internet, even if you had tried to find the answers, instead of a 10 word answer or direct you to the site. Then when you finally find something on the web it can be up to 10 years old and as technology keeps changing , it is useless.

But it has been a fun ride with some good fishing , lots of bites and a few flatheads caught, haha

Thing is Pete I would be so flippin annoyed and so mad about the fact that you only need 25 more kw to break 500.

It would eat my undies so bad I would be free balling (is that even a saying).

argh....man disappointed in it.

Imagine how many new threads we would have about "what mods should I do to my car"

Haha. Millions!

no , I understand that but when someone goes to the trouble of writing a longish reply instead of answering, that is if they know the answer , it is fn stupid

you guys, haha, BUT I can get 500kw out of it if I want , just turn it up , so no balling, and it is a word. Maybe a different word for my generation as it means crying, for you , balling could be a totally unsavoury act , not sure ?

But I was not balling up to 15 minutes ago, just driving and having fun in a really well built car that goes like the clappers :cheers:

I bet - I was just trolling you.

Put some vids up with really good sound so we can listen to the music :)

Me too, it is just for fun

Apart from a couple of vids I have seen , most of them are boring, same old same old, and I am sure I would have nothing new to offer :yucky:

I'm glad you were able to have success with Jez pete. Is he not the friendliest tuner you have ever met? And his customer support is second to none.

Are you looking at getting the steering sorted back in foster? I can recommend Road2Race on the central Coast, they will sort you out no worries :)

Yes he is a nice bloke, needs to slow down a bit and smell the roses :mellow2:

Thanks for the info but I really need to start to find someone closer for smaller jobs, had enough travelling to have jobs done on the car .

To bring up an old thread, I think I will ask to do the 501KW, just for the F of it, shit I struggle holding on at 475

I do not need these big numbers and once the water leak is sorted I am going to ask to take it lower on top end HP and push for , YES, you guessed, RESPONSE!

Might play with the cams while it is in the shop , turbo ? BW8374 maybe and see the difference in response, if it is only marginal I will stay with the PT6266

Waiting to see how Paul goes with the 8374, I think with the head he had built it will be MAD!

I am also keen to see what the Nm will be, was 935Nm ish, not sure what happens when dialing the cams in for mainly response , it was dialed for 50/50 ?

Wish I was 5 years younger , missed the 0, 50 , lol

Best thing is , I reckon my car will be going again by the end of the month, what year ??

Yes, pissed, hic hic :cheers:

Pete, when its run in give it an almighty thrashing doesn't matter how it is setup. Drive the fk out of it.

Will do, lol

What I tried to say in the drunken drivel above was, I want to see the difference when retarded for high rpm HP as to advanced for low end torque and get back to back graphs, should be interesting , same car, same day.

Pictures tell a thousands words, no words are needed after you drive the fk out of it.

As long as you look like this when you get out of the car,

Whatever power your thinking of you'll have to half that as your missing the 2nd turbo and we all know that RBs need 2 Turbo's ;p

haha, same old story, single or twins , trouble is I do not know how the twins would go, I have seen some results on the web and they do look pretty impressive.

A lot of blokes seem to go to a single and love them, did see one bloke go back to twins. I have a single on a 3.2l , not a 2.6l and it goes pretty good, (320kw at 4000rpm) , well the last time I drove it, lol

I do not need more power, I just want to see the graph difference in tunes from dialling the cams for HP and Torque ?

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
