Edited: ah k cool i'll have to give em a call soon

how long does it take to re-tune/remap the ecu??

honestly, it depends on the equipment provided, the availability of the software for that particular hardware, at least a couple of hours to run the calibration and do the actual tune.... my initial tune cost something like $700-800, i honestly cant remember. it was done when i replaced faulty o2 sensors.... has been an absolute JOY to drive... hasnt got the KW numbers to impress dyno whores, but i really love this particular tune. it'll be better in 6 months when i get new cams and turbos, but i'm very happy with the tune. it gives me a perfect balance between performance and reliability... with the emphasis on reliability (as directed by yrs truly)....

I cannot recommend those guys enuff. They have leet skillz.

If you are going for a remap you would have to go to Jeff, he was one of the first in Australia to do remaps and he is definitely one of the best, and as for cost he'll be around the $500 mark but every tune is slightly different, and touch up tunes are a fifth of that

If you want proof of his work he was the one that kept this standard RB20 together when it was making 370rwkw.

His number is; 0434637357

Just had a meeting with one of my admin staff and gave her an official warning today. Pull your socks up or walk. I been doing more drafting work for the office and need to hand over some of the bookkeeping tasks, but she's f**king it up and blaming the system not working. Its been working for the last 9 years bitch!!! And being the office manager and having built this office ground up 9 years ago, I take that as an insult from someone with no qualifications/diploma/degree. She had a whinge to the #1 boss yesterday and he spoke with me yesterday arvo. He knows there is nothing wrong with the system we use, but rather the user (her). We both agreed she needed to be warned. This is not the first time she's messed up. She's been verbally warned a few times over the last year. She's even got a bit of a rude attitude on the phone at reception. When you're dealing with lawyers and Councils and Government departments as much as we do, you can't be rude to them. (she talks to them like they're telemarketers)

I've gone and hired and started training another admin staff member in the bookkeeping side of the office. She's obviously noticed that and sees her as a threat. So what. The new trainee bookkeeper will be taking over her jobs to do with the financial side of the office and she'll be limited back to general office typing and filing. Its my job as the manager to allocate the best resources anyway, so thats what I'm doing.

Crazy John are idiots.

Vodafone are bigger idiots.

Got sick of Crazy John and sent to Vodafone because all I hear are good things about them (mostly). so I sign up and transfer my existing number over. Nothing. Phone's not working.

I've been without a working phone for a week now. They were supposed to "port" my existing number over onto the new SIM card and f**ked it up. I rang over a dozen times in the last week to get it resolved, but nearly everytime I was put thru to customer service I was put on hold then the given the 'hang up' tone as the line was disconnected about 4-5 times. The 4 or so times I did get thru I was firstly reassured the problem would be resolved in 3 hours if I turned my phone off. Nope.

Finally called yesterday and gave them a mouthful. Immediately asked for someone who's native language is English. Explained it to them again and informed them that if they hung up on me again, accidentally or otherwise, I'd take my business elsewhere. I've been without a working phone for a week and I need my number for work. I can't send/received messages or calls. Told the line again about something f**ked up during "porting" my number and the techs are trying to fix it. Said it could take a few days. I told them that was unacceptable, I want to speak with the customer service manager. Put onto their supervisor, said "no" I want their manager. Spoke to the manager and explained the situation and how unimpressed I was. Said I didn't care to be treated on the same level as pimple faced teens who desperately want to text their stupid boyfriends ... my phone is required for me to make a living, as well as social reasons. Informed I would now be treated as a priority.

Finally, my phone is working again today. Now I gotta catch up on work. :D

    • It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...
    • I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate
    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
    • Doing a refresh of my 33 and can see a few websites stating they sell the entire main carpet for our cars, but they all have generic photos which is fine, i understand they are custom made to order.  Just seeing if anyone has got it done or had any experience with this, as i would only want to do it if the fit and finish was as good as oem https://carmatsdirect.com.au/products/moulded-carpet-or-vinyl-for-nissan-skyline-r33-1993-1998-coupe https://knoxautocarpets.com.au/moulded-carpets/nissan/skyline/skyline-r-33-1993-1998/
    • Any plans for E85? If so, add flex fuel sensor.   I'd probably add in the sensors I mentioned above if the Link will support using them for engine protection. With water pressure, you need to be able to effectively set it that "If temp > X, and pressure = atmospheric, shutdown" as at running temp, you should be able to read pressure in the cooling system. If pressure suddenly disappears, it means the water went some where, and this is a quicker reaction than waiting on water temp to go up (Which, can take a little longer than you'd like, considering it now has to wait for hot air to heat it up) Oil pressure, Oil temp, both would be on my list too if you're looking to add sensors. Wideband O2. And at least one EGT sensor. If you're feeling deluxe, put in individual runner EGTs. Single EGT sensor is more so forget about a specific number, get used to "What is normal EGTs", and then keep an eye on it, if it starts going away from "normal" it's a sign something is wrong (Also, things like the tune can still start going out of spec, but EGTs may not show it, for example one injector starts running leaning, so ECU richens everything up, now 5 out of 6 cylinders are rich, and running cool, with one cylinder lean and running hotter, so it's not perfect) Then there is your other things to look at non sensor related, but you may have already done, or have underway, and that would be things like building a sump for more oil, and better oil control under high G-Forces (Cornering, brakes, acceleration). Basically, the above is worth looking/thinking about, if the ECU can do protective stuff with it, and you continue to use it how you are (Drive it to the track, thrash it, drive home, repeat once every 3 to 4 months)
