how do you install it?

my current shift light is not giving me much joy

its like power/neg/rpm signal.

Not hard. pulsar was not a typical setup, so i never got it running, but someone else with a pulsar did. i dunno. I dont need it anymore. so its $40 if you want it. Got manual and box for it, maybe 30cm of wire and its the flat type, not the curved type. its quite a good unit. can set custom rpm increments and will use lights to show battery voltage when on Acc.

 

Also f**k this hotel internet. uses a Mikrotik router of some sort... using a release from 2015 so it cant be that old... repeated speedtests says everything is fine, pulls decent speed, but every 10mins or so it just wont load webpages. I had a download running and it was stable at 200kbs, then spiked to 1000. all the while google would time out. Owner says the router cuts you off if you breach 500mb in an hour, but i can barely use it for 5mins without problems.

That stuff is stored on a separate drive

Is that another dock I need, or are they the same pin set up as a normal hard drive...?

depends on what SSD you have, the normal "sata" ones are same pin setup as hard drives though yes.

Got a source for RS6 quartermile times? That sounds optimistic to me for the V10 model. Regardless, none of that negates my point that the same results can be achieved for substantially less in a probably more reliable and cheaper to repair way.

Also struggling with 12 second flat from R/S3 with just that. I'd believe breaking into the 12s...but am feeling a turbo swap to get a high 11 out of them. They would need another 100kw at least...

High 11's is doable with EA888 MQB platform motors, EA113 like mine, I reckon it isn't possible, but could be wrong... One way to find out hey?

Wow if that is the stock turbo...are they laggy or just amazing tech?

F6 seems to do similar stuff with flash tune and exhaust

I imagine life gets very expensive once you go beyond that for the Golf

Stage 1, 2 are with stock turbo. Upgraded turbo is considered stage 3. Poofy I know. If you see people with MK5 GTI or MK6R with a "+" that means high pressure fuel pump upgrade on top of the tune.

So what power does a stock Golf R make?

And what power does one with a tune, exhaust and cooler make and cost?

Damn so many golfs on the street these days they will just cream me i spose lol

 

Ive been in a launched Golf R and it was quick from a launch but died down afterwards

 

At wheels, 165-170kw (at least with MK6 - dunno about MK7)

They are a big stock turbo compared to what they tune it to. In "stage 2" trim you are around 250kw at the wheels. So it doesn't really hit hard until 3000-3500.

 

Yep, Golf R has K04 from factory (at least with MK6), 250 is pushing it, I'd say 230-240 at wheels with 2+ (plus intercooler, DV, and maybe actuator).

250awkw with a cooler zort and tune wow. How does the DSG hold up

 

Should have bought the wife a Golf R not an Evo X

Apparently the stock clutch packs in 6 speed DSG as found in GTI/R/GTD/TDI can handle 600 crank HP. 

As for daily driving, DSG is brilliant. Drives like a auto and will do compression braking if you're driving steep hill downwards. Although DSG reprogram would be ideal, its bit "lazy" when you want to do overtakes or something.

I should make mine faster and that means $$$$

Not sure about the dsg, the dry clutch 7 speed boxes aren't known for their reliability but the 6 speed wet clutches seem to go ok, but I'm not sure how they go at that power level.

 

Read above. And mine has done nearly 142k kms (I drive it every day) and it's faultless*, go wet clutch DSG.

*touch wood. 

not near near future, unless a deca comes up, 

 

gathering a few parts to fix/upgrade  a couple things in prep for later in the year.

expecting house Oct  so any time after then as I will have somewhere to store/work on car

 

It's not living with me currently so makes it hard

My prediction of 88E falling post spud (a nothing event) came true

seems like its pretty solid at 0.045. An order there will probably sit there for a week or more until theres a dump for no reason.

still got a while to go. I'll sit and wait till after tax time. No more buying for me. Need to focus on my MMA gambling side gig. live betting online is quite lucrative.

So just got a over due notice from foxtel..

 

for 1 cent....

yeah that was worth them sending a letter and not just adding to the next bill

 

(must have had a typo when paying last one and put 13c at end not 14..)

Sounds like there is Per User Shaping and quota...

If you're going through 500mb in 5 minutes, turn down the quality of the video until it all looks like japanese porn.

    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
