Nah

If I did kill the 4l60e I would just replace it with a built T400

For what I want out of the Dunnydoor, a DCT would be more trouble than what it's worth

You would hate no overdrive

2.87 gears and a bigger trans cooler?

There are joints that do overdrive for the T400

For 1:  https://www.gearvendors.com/hrgm3s.html

 

There are probably other GM slush box options available that are 11ty times easier and possibly cheaper than a T400 with OD

I would never own a DCT in a street car

Anyways, more powers isn't on my to do list

It has more power than I really need, or can use on the street, anyway

The car is a daily driver, not a racecar

As I had a vasectomy about 15 years ago there "shouldn't" be any more gender reveals for this old rooster

Which is nice

Lol.. these gender reveals aren't for your missus, I would have thought you'll be that really rad dad doing gender reveals for your kids 😎

I already am that "rad dad" if you ask the kids, much to the annoyance, and sometimes worry, of the "Minister for war and finances"

Spent 3 hours washing and waxing the car, then remembered it's going to the exhaust shop tomorrow to get covered in greasy hand prints and welding sparks

I really need to plan better

Looks nice.

My eyeballs say that would be pretty loud.

Did a big cruise around the Sydney beaches with the Mrs today, she did the usual and slept for the drive home, so it isn't too loud or droney in the cabin

We did get alot of looks and thumbs up, and only 1 grumpy looking weirdo walking a dog near Centennial Park that looked at the car disapprovingly, then gave us the "little finger/little dick" hand signal, to which the Mrs laughed, pointed at him, yelled Oi, gave him the bird and called a name that questioned his sexuality, I laughed, alot, we are "The Bogans"

So basically the car sounds perfect and the Mrs seems happy

Winner winner chicken dinner

Nope, booked in for seafood platter at our local favourite seafood joint 🐟🦐🦞🦀🐙🐡🦭🐳🐧🦄🍹🥃🍹🥃🍹🥃🍹🍸

The car drones at hwy speeds, in top doing 110 kph at just over 2k rpm

I did bring this up when I picked up the car and Chev said if it does drone to bring it back in and they can fab up a resonator to fit in there

I popped in and had a chat this morning, they are going to fabricate something up which should be done and dusted by the end of the week

Should have heaps of room above the rear muffler to have a Helmholtz chamber tuned for the drone.

First they are putting in a resonator, if that fails then a Helmholtz chamber will be next

Got a cartoon made up of me and the Bogan Cruise Ship Rat Fink style

Getting one of my daughters Yaris with cop stickers and sirens for her attestation in December

Thinking of going even taller in the rear end

3.07, or even possibly 2.87

The 3.46 gears are much better than the 3.91 that were originally in it, and for all of the hwy cruising I do, and with the amount of torque the car has just off idle, and the stalled slush box to get the engine spinning I think the longer gears will give me more manners down low, and good fuel economy on the hwy

And after almost hitting a roo on my last adventure down the coast I want one of these smart bar plastic roo bar thingies

Currently got the feelers out and on the hunt

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
