i was told by toshi a new rechip 200 bux if u start putting more mods on?.. Hmm..

well thats expensive as hell... and u dont need dyno tuning for a rechip... a good tuner will know what to do without having to dyno it...

everytuner should have maps for certain mods.

But not every car is the same, to get the most out of it a dyno tune would be recomended. Say all that needs to happen is my fuel pressure gauge to read wrong by a psi or two, and it could throw out the tune.

My thoughts anyway.

YO, kursed, sorry to hijack your thread for a second, but i saw your car in the pics of the sydney meetup? your car loks uncannilly similiar to mine, cep't a have different wheels,

anyway, i can't help but notice that your car sits a bit lower to the ground than mine, what suspension you got under there homie? is it stock s13?

hey bro, the cefiro sits on pedders sports ryder suspension, if you want i can dig up the exact part numbers so you can make sure they have the right parts in stock before heading into the workshop if you like. just pm me for it

Like i said... for minor mods like exhaust, AFM, boost and filter u dont need to dyno it... even if it is reading wrong its not going to be any different from before moding... u normally only need to pay for a simple dyno run... never tuning on a dyno... only time u should be paying for a lot of tuning on a dyno is for tuning SAFCs or Power FCs etc.

      Oof, I will forevermore have those shredded gears in mind whenever someone talks about showing mechanical sympathy towards their car. Thanks for the photos, fascinating stuff!

      The holdups last year were drivetrain related. I had the car out right after getting the bearing issue resolved. Third launch and the car didn't move after releasing the clutch. It had sheared all the engagement teeth off the 1st gear.    Thankfully no other damage was done. I set an aftermarket gear beside an OEM gear and found that the engagement teeth on the OEM gear were much larger and better supported. Looking through my bin of spare transmission gears I found that there are two types of tooth on the OEM first gears - the larger tooth and the smaller tooth. It looks like most aftermarket gearset manufacturers base their design on the smaller tooth. OEM large tooth left - Speedtek, OS Giken, etc or OEM small tooth right Decided to give that larger engagement tooth a try. Pressed the ring off an OEM gear and sent it to a transmission manufacturer here in the States. They did their "faceplating" operation with my synchro ring on the Speedtek gear.   I reassembled it, took it back to the track and promptly destroyed the gear itself.  I'll rebuild this and use it as a spare - thankfully just first gear and the countershaft are damaged beyond repair. Definitely disheartening but my welded on engagement tooth ring held up!  Moved to Speedtek's dog engagement design as the gears appear to be much stronger. So far they have taken much more abuse at the track. Also scored a Stillway lockout from the Netherands for super cheap. It's for some other RB transmission so it took a bit of fabrication to fit but honestly a very easy job. I also had to heavily modify the gates as they were very different.   Then for some reason at the last test and tune a silicon coupler below the throttle blew off and took out the radiator and fan. Thankfully it was in the burnout box and not down track. This car is really beating me up - I still haven't made a pass in it. Ran it through the gears many times on the street but it keeps biting me at the track.  Currently in the process of replacing the radiator and remaking the throttle pipe to remove the coupler and use a cast 90 and a vband. I WILL get this thing down the track...

      Covers most of the above points really. There's a few exceptions but most just see driving as an irritating but necessary task they must complete if they want to get anywhere on time. Also see it as a good time to show their awesome multi-tasking abilities on their mobile and/or doing their makeup.

      I don't believe I posted pictures of the second oil pump pickup I added so here they are. Data shows it gets oil pressure up to the relief pressure much earlier in the RPM. Is that important? Not likely... This was just another attempt to fix the bearing issues.   I also heavily opened up the inlet to the pump since it now had to flow oil from two pickups. I believe the diameter increased about 1/8".
