BAHAHAHAH GOLD!!!

Chris, how many is "a few"? Surely there cant be a heap of them in Oz?!?!

Melbourne seems to have bucketloads of nice cars, maybe its their cheaper housing that helps

I think it's just that ppl aren't scared of driving their nice cars on melbournes roads because their actually decent roads unlike sydney!

Steve0, didn't your old boss used to have one? I know there was a Ferrari parked downstairs for ages then when they closed up shop it got taken out... I don't know fezzas for shit and I can't find the picture of it either...

Melbourne is very different to sydney, basically the Greeks, Italians and now some of the rich asians love to show off to their rellos and friends, they can't afford the mortgage but they have crazy cars down there. Much like up here you drive through merrylands and some of the 1st generation born immigrant kids that are now in their 20's are driving around in new M3's... their in debt to their eyeballs, but they can pay off their whole income into a car because they live at home untill thier 50 years old. Melbourne also has much bigger reposession auctions than we do up here and we have a million more people in our city than they do....

Up and Atom...

Appropriate setting for something as crazy and as safe as an Atom to be in... and how do they get ADR with those tiny wheel arches?

    • 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.
    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
    • After drying a few days, time to put her back together
