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.

    • 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       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
