Hi all,

Firstly this is NOT meant to be a bitch thread about Sydneykid. He has been (from what I can tell) an excellent member of Skylines Australia.

BUT, I would like to know where he has gone? He said he will be on Holidays in October, but I haven't heard from him since late July. I have sent payment for some goods and got nothing in return. So, has anyone heard from him or is everyone in the same boat?

I'd just like to know where my money or order is at , or at least a reason for why I haven't heard diddly.

Yes I have sent a PM (or 2) and email.

Can somebody fill me in?

I think I've been fairly trusting so far....but worries are starting to creep in. It seems like nobody has heard from him in a month, and he's going OS in 3 weeks.

I'd really like some confirmation that he has my order and money.

I've bought sway bars through him before when he wasn't so busy, and the turn around was about 2 weeks becuase they had to be made. But it was still fairly quick. Freight took 2days. I was pretty happy with that transaction, it couldn't be faulted.

I hope he gets back on deck soon. Looks like a few of us will be getting things around the december era.

exactly the same boat as you

paid late july for some parts and not even a confirmation he has my money

but some admins have told me it should be ok as he is just super busy

piss weak excuse but oh well, as long as i get my parts HOPEFULLY before he goes away

    • Appreciate the feedback. It is street car, but not a daily. Last week I got a quote from a good exhaust shop for a decat, one which is bolt-on, bolt-off to be easily replaceable. I got quoted for around €150. I usually do push the motor, but I wasn't in this case to make sure that no damage is done until I get the cat sorted. I think it's best to also ask the exhaust shop for the other option and see what they can do. If (big if) I were to decat though, would it be best to tune the car or would the stock ECU handle it? As far as I know, the stock ECU is not tunable and that would require additional purchases.
    • As above, definitely bash it or get it replaced with a high flow unit.
    • get some flares on them, or wider guards haha
    • Another question sorry, what stainless do u use in the turbo external WG plumb back piping? Is it 321, 316 or 304?
    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
