i just went to have a look at the tapes, the security guy there couldn't get the bloody cabinet lock open! sounds dodgey, but i genuinely doubt he was involved. i will have to try again tomorrow morning as someone different will be on and hopefully have the correct set of keys. i will find out how these guys took the car, whether they hot wired it or just towed it off and update everyone.

thanks

Hey, if you want your car back, im more than happy to volunteer my car to set the f@*K heads up. I've got some mates that would be more than willing to help to. If they did fall for the bait and try it again, me and my mates will teach them a lesson and hopefully get ur car back. May sound pointless but its worth a shot. My names Simon, im in ferntree gully. I drive a 1993 R33 GTST, Gunmetal 2 door coupe. Feel free to call me on 0419 154 515. By the way, i have comprehensive insurance. lol. UP TO YOU.

Hey Simon, i really appreciate the offer, but i wouldn't wish this to happen to anyone. if something happened to your car, that would be really bad and i'd feel worse. i think they've been scoping out the place for a while as well, i've was parking in pretty much the same spot for a few months.

thanks again.

Hey im still more than happy to use my car as bait, it has 2 hidden kill switches in it, one for the ignition and the other for the fuel line, so even if they got in and could start it, it would stall in like 2 seconds cause the fuel would cut out, trust me i've forgotten bout it so many times. lol. Also sounds like you have more than a few people here willing to help out. Also remember that im knowingly putting my car at risk, so you would have nothing to feel bad about. Up to u.

Cheers.

Guesty.

i should be viewing the tapes on wed evening, the security boss is in wed, all these other ppl can't seem to help me. its not always security who man the place, in the day its mostly the national bus people.

thanks for the offer guesty, give me another wk, i'm thinking about taking it up.

ok, the security system is crap there. i was viewing it with the boss tonight, he admits its no good. the only really good one is pretty much the one which points at the shelter, maybe because there is more light there. we couldn't find the camera which pointed at my car, it was hard to use the system.

i think its time to move on. i dunno what car to get now, can't afford to spend too much.

thanks for all the help guys.

    • 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.
