Well anyway back on topic...

Who does the tuning at BD4s, is it Tom or the other guy?

I just found out from my HK buddies that to get the HKS gear tuned it costs them almost $5,000AUD

They get some guy from Jun in Japan to fly over and do the tuning... imagine if that was the same here :(

Jim at CRD tuned my car, I found that the car had more torque off boost and less black soot build up on my rear bar compared to the previous road tune.

The car started pinging after about a 2 weeks (bad fuel?) and Jim spent about half an hour retuning it - at no cost – and it hasn’t pinged since.

I haven’t been to BD4’s

Pity your car wasnt ready to tune a few weeks ago Stan.

Just Jap had the owner of Autech Japan out here and he is an F-CON tuning guru.

now here's the question.

Was it bad fuel or a bad tune in the first place?

If it was just one batch of bad fuel, couldn't you put it back to the earlier/ better tune once you put new fuel in? Or was it tuned without sufficent margin for safety on the road, taking into account variable fuel, hot days etc.

Did you get a dyno graph from the first tune? what were the AFRs? How much base timing?

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
