Hey guys.

I've had a slight problem with supply. The company had run out of the material, and they expect more in today or tomorrow.

Might be the end of this week before I get them.

I'm sorry for the delay, normally this company is very good.

I'll keep you informed.

Cheers

Pete

Hi Guys.

I'm terribly sorry about the delay.

The parts are now being cut at the subcontractors, in fact they should be ready tomorrow or Monday.

I have been interstate with work the last couple of day so I haven't had a chance to follow it up.

I'm very sorry for the delay.

I'll let you know when I have the blanks in, and then soon after that they will be finished.

Cheers

Pete

Hi Guys.

There was some confusion with the drawings for the guides at the sub contractors.

Last group buy, there was three types, this time only two, so we confirmed drawings today, parts cut tomorrow morning.

I understand this has dragged along for too long, and I apologise. Unfortunately, I have been working 16 hour days on one of the biggest deals I'm ever likely to put together ($1.7-2.0 Million !!) and simply haven't been watching this group buy close enough.

But have no fear, the time is nigh.

Here's the blanks.

Arrived this arvo.

I'm away for the first few days of next week, so I'll bend them as soon as I can.

Hi Guys.

I was held up in NSW and QLD this week and have only just got back to the office.

The flat parts are in my office and Monday next week I will give the parts to the Press Brake guy to bend up.

Again, I'm very sorry that this has been another delay. I was supposesd to be back in Melbourne Wednesday morning. I ran out of clean underwear on Wednesday!!

Hey guys.

I've pulled the guide off my car to get the angles for yours, but my boss has arranged for me to go to a big Engineering Trade Show in Chicago called Metalcon.

I leave at 10am on Monday and don't return till the following Monday morning.

Again, this will cause a delay, and I apologise but there's nothing I can do about this. I only found out this morning.

I'm very sorry for the delay, and I never meant it to take this long.

Being away also means I can't fit my new turbo for another week!

So, I arrive back into Australia Monday monring, and I will endevour to get the guides out by that Wednesday.

Sorry Guys

  • 2 weeks later...

Gentlemen,

I'm back in the country now and the blanks are over at the Press Brake guy to be bent. I've pulled my original one off my car to make them the same.

The shop is pretty busy so they said they will be ready by the end of the week. I will prepare all the packaging and delivery dockets in the mean time so that I can hopefully get them out by Friday.

Again, sorry for the delay, my group buys don't normally go like this.

Thanks for your patience guys.

Cheers

Pete

Gentlemen, the time has come.

The guides are sitting in my office.

I'll be packaging them tonight and shipping them tomorrow.

Sorry for the delay, but as they say, good things come to those who wait.

cheers

Hi Guys.

I finished boxing the guides up at about 8pm tonight.

I writing up the Consignment Notes now.

They will be on their way tomorrow.

Again, I'm sorry for the delay.

Cheers

Pete

you can check out the progress of your packages by going to www.tnt.com.au and putting the con note into the box

All good.

Lastly, I'm sorry for the delay guys, it was meant to be very soon after you paid that the goods were shipped, but I had supplier problems.

Good news is that our company just bought a Press Brake and a Turret punch, so now I can make these up myself and not out-source them!

Anywhoo.

Thanks for participating in the group buys.

I hope you like your radiator air guides, as much I I do playing with the designs on them.

Thanks mate, we appreciate your effort that went into all this! (for no profit or return). No big deal on the wait - these things happen, and you are obviously a busy bloke.

So now your work has the machinery, what other goodies can you make us? :angry:

What about stainless door sills? (someone on ns.com has been making them up for Silvias, with the logo cutout and blue leds put underneath). These would be great! I am trying to think of other fabrications too ....

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
