Why on earth would you need that much power...sounds awfully close to F1 kw/kg territory

no mention on the fact the chassis was cut up and rewelded to new dimensions to pass au kit car rules.

 

or the fact I don;t think it has finished a track day without blowing something up.

have seen in the pits a few times years back and closer it gets the scarier it gets...

 

Dezz when you are installing windows 10 make sure you delete all your existing partitions on your hard drive, then create a new partition for the full size (it'll be empty) then install on that.

(Probably self explanatory & do it anyway just checking you're doing it right and not installing over the top or 'upgradeing')

It's a lot of money for an experience... And that's about it.
Again, would go for a Caterham. At least they are proper registerable and the duratec/zetec motors are known quantities with info and spares.

Probably wouldn't have done what you just said actually... Left it downloading over night and didn't check it before work this morning.. Can I still do the partition now or do I need to start again? Laptop was wiped and windows 8 reinstalled, I've only put shit like utorrent and ipvanish on it so far..

Would give a 620r a solid go.

It will wipe what ever is on the hard drive currently, so you boot from windows 10 usb stick > install windows > custom / advanced > you'll see your hard disk and it's partitions, delete them all so it's empty, unformatted, then click new > accept the default size (it'll be max hdd size > click on your new partition > install > wait 30 mins > done 

You now have fresh windows 10 install with no other crap left over from windows 8 etc. Laptop will be faster, better stronger.

There'll be a youtube video somewhere of it surely, but my instructions should be good enough

f**k lots of steps involved.. Think I just upgraded when I first went to 10.. But laptop is pretty much empty at the moment so I guess I'll do it... I think the os is automatically installed on the SSD and the sata drive is just for everything else and porn...
I'll read your instructions when I'm at home and not balancing on the edge of a switchboard.

It's pretty easy, and it's worth while doing a 'fresh' install over just an upgrade.

Yeah install OS on the SSD ofcourse, you can add/format the Sata drive in later for your porn in windows disk manager

If I do this partition shit will I still be able to install 10? Was under the impression it scanned your computer for a legit windows licence before letting you update to 10.. If I've formatted completely, won't I lose that?

    • For fuelling the Haltechs have O2WB fuel controllers. Very useful for helping tuning VE and correcting for *small* mistakes. Of course if your injector/cam/trigger/sensor data is just wrong (or for a GTT which is not a GT) then you will get impossible reactions to things. I am sure you know this already but the reason people don't typically put haltechs (or any Aftermarket ECU) on GT's is because there's practically no real gains to be had - So this knowledge won't be commonplace.
    • Can someone tell me if the cracks seen in the rear sway bar bushings in these photo's is unacceptable from a roadworthy point of view?  
    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
