Well, just got my liner tuned by Mercury Motorsport in Brisbane and I must say I am extremely happy with the results !!! Pulled an overall figure of 242.1kw on 1.2 bar (332.6hp). Car made more horsepower than I first thought it would which made my day !! Added a couple of pics just for viewing ...

If anyone needs work done in Brisbane, I highly recommend Mercury, so a BIG thanks to Trent and the team.

Also, a MASSIVE thanks to Garth from Kaos Racing and my best mate Matt, without them I couldn't have gotten the car to where it is today at all !!

Oh yeah, just a small listing of things that are done:

Apex 260deg Cams

Greddy Plenum

Infinity Throttle Body

Greddy 'Cooler

Z32 AFM

Apex AX53B70 380ps turbo on standard manifold

Nismo 550cc/min injectors

Nismo Fuel Pressure Reg

RS*R 3.5" Exhaust

OS Gieken Twin Plate Clutch

Apex Power FC

Greddy Oil Catch Can

Blitz Dual SBC Spec S

Blood sweat and tears ... :)

Also might add that Mercury Motorsport are a club sponsor of SAU QLD and offer a 10% discount to the members :D

Well i was going to congradulate you on the figures but i kinda got sidetracked by ED G's avatar and forgot what i was going to say :(

Impressive power figures, i hope mine puts out more than im expecting :P

Cheers B

BigDatto - it's the P25 housing. And yes, it's tons of fun ... bit of a handful in the wet with Nankang's on !! :D

Trust33 - They are Sparco NR-1 17" Black with gold pearl. 8" front, 9" rear. Might be for sale soon too due to a new bodykit going on the car.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
