Go to tuner

Ask what they recommend

Choice made

I haven't made my mind up regarding a tuner... Danny from springy is pushing for Autronic. My new auto elec (who is not from this world) knows mostly people from professional motorsports circles and he recommends products/brands/people that import forums haven't got an opinion on.

It's tough from a consumer perspective to read the brochures and opinions and get a feel for how it works and its limitations. I'm wary of tuners who push for certain products because they are distributors.

I didn't know Danny was back at Springy motors?

Yeah but...in this case I'm for it.

Before we get high and mighty about keeping the jobs "in Australia" how much per hour is the union also demanding the person holding the go/stop sign gets paid?

Performance based increases would be nice instead of standardised, negotiated for all rates. Then we know the dude holding the sign would be going the extra mile for his dollars.

I don't see how he can lay claim to a pay increase over anything but inflation - it's getting harder and harder to flip that sign 180 degrees.

It's just pathetic.

We got 4% last year and have another 2.5% coming this year for a bunch of people that are already paid above average and get annual bonuses + shares to boot. This was negotiated less than 12 months ago.

This isn't good enough for the union however and they are dropping pamphlets around trying to rally people into complaining for more based on our group profits. Its f**king rediculous.

I'd rather skip a payrise and keep my job away from the Philippines thanks. This has already happened at other banks and they keep pushing.

Unions do NOT just have workers interests at heart.

Why the f**k should we have to give jobs building shit in Australia, for Australians, to Australians.. It's ridiculous. f**king militant union thuggery.

China, 75,000 work related deaths in a year. 200+ deaths a day.

Australia 180 work related deaths in a year.

55/100,000 vs 2/100,000 (before anyone wants to try pull the population card)

There's a reason they can build shit faster and cheaper, their workers lives are just another consumable.

Haha you psychic. Someone is talking me into some UK 4-cyl specialised shit. Cheaper than most standalones too.

Cheaper until you realise that hardly anyone in Australia knows how to tune them, so those who do charge out the butt... or they actually don't know what they're doing and you're up for the cost of a new motor (again).

Getting ripped on my private health insurance

Fkers are charging me $55 a fortnight for cover equivalent to $40 a fortnight

Have been keeping me on an old plan because it pays them more and they can increase the premium every year without changing my level cover, in spite of reducing the costs offered to new customers to be competitive with other funds - criminals

That's not a viable argument it would be built here under our laws and regulations. Who's the union to stop private enterprise keeping their costs down ?

What happens when they bring in the Chinese real estate agents willing to work for less commission? Do you cry foul or accept that your job isn't worth paying what it used to be?

Which could be a bit of a near reality given the advantages to having mandarin speaking agents these days...

i know what you mean, but the DTAFast ECU's are a pommy company. apparently popular with big motor jags and cars running ford/cosworth/zetec/millington engines. someone out there must tune them!

it may be a shock to some, but there is a world outside of turbo imports and ECU's outside of the US, Japan and Aus. and i guess im trying to find out what does what better than others.

an escort that was finished the other week running a DTAFast

Omg this shit again. Real estate is un regulated and has been for ages you peanuts. So it has been happening as long as I've been working in it and even longer

People pay us what they choose to pay and willingly no government or union intervention

Try again with your failed arguments, seriously it's embarrassing arguing uneducated points

Fwiw it's the Indians who work for fk all but guess what they are rogues do a crap job and the owners get thousands less for their home rather than pay us a couple grand more they 'save' .5% but get $30k less. Smart huh.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
