Get some flamin mongrel about you Dan

Ring JLM, tell you you want an answer by the end of the day or you aren't paying the full amount, then when you get an answer tell them that if it takes longer than that you won't pay at all.

This^^

And even then i would not be paying the full amount. The time frame you have been waiting for this will be longer than it takes to build my house!

Honestly i'd be saying if i have not got my car by next week i'll be taking legal action.

Even though DOTAR are the people holding it up (apparently), it's up to both Christian and JLM to get your car to you (after all that's who you are paying). They should be fighting the battle on your behalf, and i don't care what excuse they use the time frame has been WAY out if they have been "trying". For people with a good word on SAU they have f**ked you over royally.

Seriously. Call JLM and say you want a 100% answer this week. And you wan't your car next week. And if you don't have it next week say you want a discount for EVERY day it takes longer than that. If they say they can't give you that. Demand all your moneys back and buy Richards 34 and convert it. Seriously it'l take less time!

Also ill give you an example:

When my car took some damage to the front passenger side it took me 4 months of getting passed around by the government getting nowhere. I cracked the shits hard. Called my Auntie (who is a lawyer).

Got a response in 15 minutes apologizing, and asking me to go get quotes to fix the damage. Sometimes these places need a good kick up the ass.

Note to self: Importing takes longer than building a fking house.

I come across as a little kid on the phone.

Just emailed JLM asking wtf is going on and also sent Kristian (ironchef) a PM on here asking what the hell is happening

One of you can call for me if you like :P

Just be firm and confident on the phone. Know what you want before you call, dates, why this, why that, extremely late deadlines and promises, no one accepting fault. Get some answers, show your presents! :)

Also- see if you can speak with a manager or supervisor before you say anything.

Also Dan,

Doesn't matter what you sound like. You are a paying customer and you have rights. Put your foot down and call them. If you don't want to get a parent/Close relative to do it. It's amazing how much impact it can have when you bring someone else into the mix.

That sucks Dan - I had a seamless experience when importing my old R33, in fact the importer would ring me all the time with updates and wonder why I wasn't harassing him more! lol

It will all be worth it :)

Understand frustration around extended timeframes in compliance but i'd take a moment before rushing into demanding phone calls. Pretty sure they won't give you the car until the bill is paid, and a rational conversation will get you a lot further than a Jordan Belfort effort.

GIVE ME ALL THE DRUGS!!!!!! <--- me.... soon.... :D

LOL! Just hope it's not too late... My Son came on strong and his Mum missed out on the epidural (Spelling?) so it was all natural and real. :laugh:

Speaking of which... Managed to get in contact, Just confirmed and booked flights, My Boy is coming up from Melbourne for Easter! :banana:

It's gonna be great. :D

    • Increasing overlap will bring the torque down earlier (and make your idle sound sick lol). Worth a shot (if you dyno time) to experience a bit (providing you are confident your valves won't kiss your pistons). Is to just take off 5 degrees across the boosted area of the map, and then retard the exhaust cam let's say, 3 degrees at a time and then overlay all the runs with VCT on all the way and VCT off as soon as you make positive pressure. Ideally you would have a total of 6x overlays to looks at 0 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve 0 exhaust & VCT on all the way -5 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -5 exhaust & VCT on all the way -10 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -10 exhaust & VCT on all the way Just leave your O2 wideband closed loop on for all of the boost area & RPM, and hopefully there isn't too much fuel correction needed and the Haltech is fast enough to compensate (I do this, then apply the correction to the main table). Getting that overlay data should give you a good indication of what to aim for.
    • So, my main limitation here is that the car does not have an oil pressure sensor by default, just a switch. As part of my tune I bought an oil pressure sensor upgrade so I now have access to oil pressure levels and logging rather than just the boolean behaviour of the switch but this means I need to use the tuning app to display this value. So, this rules out using any other app on the iPad. The app will also flash when pressure drops which is a nice feature. I have replaced the centre screen with an Android one, which is awesome for Android Auto, but I think it might be too far away and out of my line of sight. I might add some gauges to it this weekend and just see. I guess if its just temp and oil pressure I can make them massive! 🤣  
    • This is what the look like normally. Except we only got the 2 doors locally
    • Back pressure is not really a function of the exhaust itself, but the turbine/housing. So the question/point remains valid. I would be fitting an EMAP tapping point and seeing what is going on in the exhaust manifold before committing to throwing boost at it. Flow. No intercooler is actually rated for continuous operation at any power level wrt temperatures, as they are no actually capable of shifting the required amounts of heat on a continuous basis. They get hot during a pul, then dump some of that heat into the external air (and some back into the internal air) during off load moments/periods). You probaby do need a bigger core, given the power level you're already at is somewhat above the "rating" of the cooler. Put pressure tapping points either side of the core (which possibly you already have, if you have a boost source near the compressor outlet and tapping near the throttle for existing purposes) and report on delta P across the core.   I haven't done the mass flow calculation to see where you would be sitting on the compressor map at the ~450is rwkW level we're talking here, but if you look just at the PR you're running at, which is ~2.8-2.9, then you have a really really wide swath of the compressor map to run in, and so long as you were making between about 45-75 lb/min of flow, you should have really good comp efficiency, with the ideal being betweem 55 and 65. I can't see the need to shift drastically on the map to get better results.
    • Welcome 🙂 The ER34 wheels and slight lowering suit the R33 sedan really well. I'm firmly in the 'keep it stock, at least on the outside' camp.
