Skimping on the tune could spell big bills in the future. I personally only trust Ben to tune my car. Sure he's not cheap but every cent you spend is worth it.

Looks a hell of a lot better than the crud setup it came with...

You might Mr. Moneybags, but I bloody hope not. The plan is to get out in Spring. I haven't even been out in the damn Mini! Let's see if you can tally 3 more GTRs and a few porkers by then! :Oops: That's what I like about this forum, we have discussions that don't turn aggressive like I've witnessed on other forums. When I spoke to Ben he told me that it's often due to the grade of oil, not the oil per se. I never said it was due to oil failing. If one's using a 0W40 oil then it's too thin for serious trackwork; one should be using a 10W60 oil that's better at holding oil pressure and of higher viscosity when under extreme conditions. I also never said that we don't need to add a baffled sump in order to track a car... all I stated was that I'd spoken to Ben and was informed that a lot of failures are due to poor oil choice. I run an oil cooler in my car, and usually add a little more oil on a track day - it was recommended I run 1L more. Granted an engine is still at risk of failing without a baffled sump and increased capacity, but a car with that upgrade can still suffer spun bearings from oil starvation can it not?

Yeah, definitely wasn't Ben - I spoke to him today and he's not been out for a little while.

Strange question seeing as we don't know what's ACTUALLY happened yet. Wait until the professional has had a look dude.

Don't you mean the $5 a night slave does the spanner work? I think it's a very impressive graph and final figure Dean. I guess you'll be blasting past me when I (eventually) get out on the track again; it's been over 12 months. I had a small chat to Ben about increased sump capacity, baffling and spun bearings today... a lot of the problems have stemmed from incorrect oil choice in the guys who've done the damage.

True, but if you mount it properly, there's no way someone will get up there.

You love to play games, don't you Dean?

BMT: and it has GT-R emblem embroidered also? If it is, it's what I want to to mine. I thought it looked superb!

How's the clutch? Maybe it's worn and somehow creating the problem? I know on gear changes torque seems to be directed to the front... I was experiencing the same problem you describe on 2 occasions: 1/when I had a dodgy clutch 2/ when my inner edges were scrubbed and the ECU thought tyres were rotating at different rates front:rear.

Battery backup sirens will go off if you cut the wire.

I've been a member of the WRX Club since owning my WRX - it's a superbly organised club and is cheap. The magazine is a great read too. Maybe I should go to the meeting on Thursday?

As I said, I'm a pus5y. Remember down here in Victoria one needs to crack the layer of ice to be able to enter the water. Our ocean waters come straight from Antarctica...

Garry Rogers Nissan has 2 mechanics who were trained to work on the Aussie GTRs. I haven't been there in a while, but they did try to make me spend almost $3000 on a new rear K-frame assembly. I replaced it at UPI with a 30,000km old one for $400.

How do you know it was running 10psi? I don't think you have any recourse with the seller as you've had it for 2 weeks and it was fine up until now.

:werd: I think that car now resides in NT? The bloke having trouble with a rebuilt engine utilising gapless rings? It was trimmed by a crowd in Moorabbin AFAIK. I'm very tempted to do exactly the same thing to mine.

I installed my PFC - simply unplugged the stock ECU, inserted plug into PFC then screwed the bolt down to lock the loom in. I certainly didn't need to earth it. As for it being a "Plug and Play" device... sure it'll fire up, and even run enough to allow one to drive around, but the mixtures won't be anything near what is required. I can't see how the fool destroyed his motor driving it like that - if he was driving the car hard then I can, but people who fork out lots of money to rebuild a motor and install an ECU usually know a lot about the product they're paying for.

Have they replaced the cat now? How is it?

To reset a factory ECU, disconnect the battery, depress the brake pedal a few times, try to turn the lights on etc. to fully drain the stored charge. Then reconnect the battery.

I'd drive it off boost until you get a tuner to look at it, or perhaps consider resetting the ECU if it's stock.

What fuel?

Just keep drinking lots of liquid and keep pissing in your wetsuit! When I used to hit the water, I used to use a 7mm steamer, but I'm a *****...

And you'll have a link to a hosted final video so we can d/l and watch itl?

I'd be interested in hearing how they got away with your GTR, as I'm not keen on them taking mine. You could possibly e-mail to current R32 GTR owners??

I'd be interested in lending a hand, but there's no way in Hell I'm letting you keep my numberplates in the footage. Even though you know the circumstances of the evening, if that footage falls into the wrong hands, it's possible an infringement/defective vehicle notice could result and that's something I don't need.
