hey guys, just took my car to gavin wood on the gold coast to get my s-afc tuned. He did a great job like everyone said he would, car was only running 120 rwhp now its up to 165 rwhp, so very happy, made the car pull the whole way thru the rev range instead of dropping off around 4 -5 grand, also was only running 11:1 air/fuel EEK!, so thats all been fixed up to 14:1 roughly. saw some nice cars while i was there too :)

and all done for a good price to, very worth it

How long did they have your car for?

My cars been to Gavins for servicing before, but when I rang up a week or so ago to book in for an SAFC install/tune I was told they would need the car for 2-3 days, I know there mega busy but WTF!

I promptly rang another workshop for it to be done in a couple of hours.

HI SHANE.

CAN YOU TELL ME WHO TOLD YOU IT WOULD TAKE 2-3 DAYS PLEASE.

I THINK THAT THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A MISUNDERSTANDING ON OUR BEHALF.

THERE ARE SO MANY ABBREVIATIONS NOW - SAFC,PFC,BOV,ETC,ETC.

SAFC DOESN'T TAKE 3 DAYS TO FIT.

SORRY ABOUT THE STUFF UP MATE.

REGARDS

No probs Gavin, it was a young bloke, dont remember his name sorry.

Don't see how he could have got mixed up because he actually suggested I save my money and go for a PFC.

But anyhow I'll be back for next round of mods... :thumbsup:

hey, yeah the car is a r31 with a rb20det. i know 165 seems a bit low, seeing im running 11psi, fmic, 3in mandrel bent zorst and a tuned afc, but i can tell ya its better than what it used to be. i have been a little concerned since i got the engine on the lowish power outputs, at leaves gavin put some much improved grunt behind it,,, mine as up there for a few days, but then again he's a busy man and i didnt really need my car back in a hurry so i didnt really mind too much, rather him take his time than pressure them to get it done and rush the job :D

but any feedback on the lack of power would be appreciated... also take into consideration the inacuracy of dyno's so i believe?

HEAR HEAR - I HAVE SEEN A DIFFERENCE OF 60 HP BETWEEN DYNOS ON THE SAME

DAY , SAME VEHICLE AND SAME TEMPS.

I USE A DYNO AS A TUNING TOOL - NOT TO GIVE AN ACCURATE POWER READING.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
