Hahahahahah so you're saying if the liberals were in power the global financial problems wouldn't of happened. This is easily the post of the year and it's only feburary. Hate to break t to you but with the current situation I'll think you'll first d whoever is in power would have some sort of deficit in the budget.

+1

And what do the liberals do? They sit on a pile of money and do nothing. Part of kruds plan is to invest in infrastructure which will create a few hundred thousand jobs. We are not that isolated if we were we getting be getting this cold after the USA sneezed.

stol came over last night to help put the car up, cheers Andy muchly appreciated

after spraying him with rp7, and getting a screwdriver stuck in the cat for 20mins, finally got a .8mm round hole thru the cat

just want to release enough backpressure to stop boost drop

seems to have worked mostly, probably need to do again but slightly larger say little finger width thru the centre

sounds like a fair bit of work. one thing though, hole in the cat probably makes it effectively useless. just take it to an exhaust shop and have it modified completely.

I'm showing my age here, but my mum would always tie a sixpence in the corner of my school hanky and told me to keep it for a rainy day.........moral of the story is, better to have it than to owe it.

Do you actually understand how he plans on going about this......cause he doesn't, not judging by the way he has hit my business since Johnny was shown the door.

lol Brendan, expect a visit from the RSPCA :(:P

by the way, .8mm is only 32 thou.....the size of a needle hole?

Oh goody! A non-political topic. :(:D

I'm thinking of getting another cooler too ... a stealth unit to replace my home made jobbie :)

i just want to replace the tiny stocker. put a couple borrowed temp probes in piping both pre and post-cooler just to see how it worked. and well, it doesnt work too well. and whatever kit i buy with be copping a can of crinkle coat + satin black to the piping and a can of satin black to the core itself. mmmm, stealthy.

A TV/electrical question:

I have a Samsung 32 inch flatscreen LCD in my bedroom. I bought a HD set top receiver box for it, and a cheap HD aerial from ebay. That didnt work, so yesterday i bought a dick smith HD indoor/outdoor aerial. I connect it, tune the tv, only picks up SBS through the set top box. SBS, SBS HS, etc etc. then i plugged the aerial straight into the tv itself, and tuned that, and it picks up SBS clear as day, but 7, 9 and 10 are all snowy. Would it be better to mount the aerial outside? Im so over snowy tv. Could it be the tv itself?

Brendan just bite the bullet and get your self a AMperformance high flow cat you wont regret it

i think there about $360ish will confirm price when i can get in contact with him, and you will probably pick up a couple of psi from it being able to breath

edit price confirmed $360

Geez pete you are old bud lol

    • 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.
