You're literally the most boring car guy I know..

At least tune it on E85

Highflows are epic on E85

Turbo is ace, strong as the day I put it in after 40,000km+. I blew a T3 gasket recently cause a nut or two were missing from the flange lol

We replaced that (and tightened manifold nuts which were also loose) in about 3 hours and it's better than ever :)

Now traction is an issue again, even with AD08s :(

hmm christmas bonus.

house deposit or wide body kit...

hard choice

Refresh motor. Use my gaskets.

Leave car rat-spec. GTX turbo. Decimate all.

The pulsar has Nismo key, Nismo oil cap and some random Nismo badge thing on the centre console. Says volume about the previous owner....

The Nismo weighted gearknob is very nice though.

Ran into a guy on site who was at Roy Hill most of this year... Some f**king stories. Sounds like one of the biggest circus construction jobs. Dodged a bullet not going, but could have really done with the work.

Apparently they couldn't find Australians of my profession with experience in a newer Siemens equipment that hasn't been released here... So Samsung send their team over from Korea. None of whom spoke English or had worked in Australia before. Then they needed more, so one of the Zimbabwean managers brings over all his friends. Needed interpreters and constant supervision. Singing and chanting during lunch and in the mess hall. $90/h wouldn't have been too shabby though for 80 hour week.

haha yeah ive heard interesting stories about the construction.

I believe there was a memo published by Samsung which had a photo of tradies standing around on the job; Memo said to performance manage crew & to utilise idle time. Memo leaked onto Facebook & all the tradies blew a gasket.

Korean Management managing an Australian tradie workforce. Will never go down well haha.

You say that but when the entire construction work force has the mindset of "the sooner we finish the job, the sooner I'm unemployed" not a whole lot gets done. Combined with people who have no idea what they're doing and contracting more people who don't know what they're doing and you get $600mil+ over budget and not even close to finishing.

In Queensland last year I think the whole thing was $2bil over. We were the 3rd set of contractors to do exactly the same tasks at the same locations. Was a clusterf**k. Pretty much sums up mining/oil/gas construction jobs. And now that they're wrapping up, all these Muppets from WA, SA, NT and QLD will be looking for more stable work. A large percentage of the skilled workers are foreigners too. Goddamn south African migration on some sites.

motor only ahd 10-15K on it, no need for a refesh there esp with how log boost it is running..

That's either a reeeeeeally cheap house or a reeeeeealy overpriced bodykit

no where near a total deposit, but should go in that account.

think will split it in 2 and get best of both worlds.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
