im good - bit depressed earlier this arvo - im ok now tho - ive been kicked out of my job because i havent sat the public service test only to get another job in the public service thats a level up - better pay n conditions - go figure! So i will have my new suspension soon that ive been whinging about yay!!

Micko break the dyno ken?

Ahh i'll probably get kicked off soon mums looking for clothing to accomadate her ever growing um behind haha nah thats mean but if she reads that she might go off in a huff and leave me the computer *evil laugh*

yep get a new job.

How i got the job in the first place: Well after waiting a year for a payrise at the last place i was working for i was earning a mere $19,000 a year - try running a skyline off that hence why its stock! I got in a huff - resigned went to QLD for two weeks came back registered with a temp agency got called back to do part time work for where i worked before - agency called me with current job because of my experience with cars would be helpful running govt fleet - i accepted - told car dealership to shove it a second time now i earn double about to add a little bit more pocket money onto that also!!

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
