^^ hit the nail on the head.

People want this done for nix and expect it to work first go, be able to blame someone if it does not.

TO THOSE CONTACTING ME FOR ENGLISH CONVERSIONS:

I HAVE NO DONE THEM SINCE 2009. NO I CANNOT TELL YOU WHERE TO GET IT DONE.

hopefully this is clear enough to most of the newbies that feel the need to join, PM me , and disappear.

Parts , yes I can get them. Will I sell them at cost . No.

Bugger 57 pages! who has the time.

Thank you Chris for the time on such a huge effort to please the masses.

Chris can you post a summary please.

V35 covered.

V35 not covered.

Software, Versions covered, not covered etc.

what labels to look for on the sat nav dvd rom to confirm compatability etc.

info spread over 57 pages is just near impossible.

Again thanks and Cheers.

Tony, do I know you?

Answere ,NO.

Where's the love bro.

Don't be lazy." come on play fair"

The effort would of been better made simply answering the post , or mind your own business

thought these forums were to help one another not see who has the biggest pair.

thanks for all your help.

oh and by the way I am busy.

If you are too busy to do your research that all of us have done and contributed to the forums, then maybe you shouldn't have the car or be here. We have already helped by posting what we know here. You should find the time to do your own research and read whats on here if you really want to mod your car or do stuff. You aren't the only one who is busy. No one here is comparing who has the biggest pair, well maybe just you considering you coming in here asking for info that is already here.

Nobby, we don't know each other, not that it's at all relevant.

We're all busy here, in our own way - perhaps some more so than others. Regardless, we've all taken the time to do the same homework that you should be doing and we've even contributed back to the forum in return.

Besides which, asking someone else to do your homework for you is not only lazy but just plain rude. I think it's fair to say that Chris has better things to do with his time than to spoonfeed someone who finds clicking and scrolling through these pages to be beneath them. It shows what high regard you have for others who made the effort.

We are here to help but we are not each other's servant.

Better to just ring Chris and see what he can do for you.

Why do people find the need to attack newbies on this subject. Yes the info is there but its gettig old and tbh I havent followed for a year ot 2 now. Also I noticed some of the Xanavi websites have disappeared. If I could offer some advise )& ai cant now) to a stranger in need I would gladly do so to spare him the hassle I went through.. " A friend in need is a friend in deed.."

Elf, it's not an attack. It's encouraging people to try and fend for themselves. As I said before, nobody is that busy that they can't wade through 57 pages. You'd spend more time on other things in your day to day life.

If any of this information needed updating, people would provide those updates, as has been witnessed several times in this thread already, so that's no excuse to ask someone else to do your homework for you.

You might be happy to spare him the hassle and repeat everything in some kind of summary but if you consider several people happily answering the same questions over and over again, we would have a lot more than just 57 pages and that makes the root of the problem even worse. Real friends in need don't come to you unless they've exhausted all other options so as not to be a constant burden on their friends.

The question remains - Whats the harm in answering someones question if you could.We've just wasted space on telling someone to read rather adding a constructive post in its place.....Otherwise just leave it. Way the worlds become "..do it yourself--theres nothing in it for me.."

We obviously view this from different perspectives. Your perspective doesn't apply to me because I have made a few contributions without seeking reward.

My perspective, on the other hand, is the world has become lazy and nobody wants to make any academic effort. The arguments put forward weren't a waste at all and are indeed constructive. I can't just leave it. I'd like to think that I can convince at least one person in this world to better themselves so that maybe that growing problem of lacking initiative will fade away instead. These forums exist to distribute knowledge and information. That information is in this thread. All that's left is to read it, not repeat it.

Initiative is spending a few min asking a question BEFORE wasting half a day looking for it- especially if you have half a day to spare.Common sense asking does not mean you are lazy or lacking ability compared to others.it just means you are more readily personable. I read heaps and Im not lazy about anything I must do-Doesnt make me/you "better" than anyone- just makes us different. Lets leave it at that.

Gee wizz.

I'm not new here, Nor lazy.

That busy, I Just haven't been on for a long while.

I have spent my own personal time to help other sau members who have pm in the past.

And bugger me I'm attacked, called lazy by someone ignorant to the facts.

Goes to show, sometimes its better to keep your personal opinions to yourself hay.

Take it seeing Chris has asked for no further input, case closed and nothing available.

Hows that for the long way getting there!!.

Thanks Chris

    • Oof, I will forevermore have those shredded gears in mind whenever someone talks about showing mechanical sympathy towards their car. Thanks for the photos, fascinating stuff!
    • Curious to see how the SpeedTek stuff holds up
    • The holdups last year were drivetrain related. I had the car out right after getting the bearing issue resolved. Third launch and the car didn't move after releasing the clutch. It had sheared all the engagement teeth off the 1st gear.    Thankfully no other damage was done. I set an aftermarket gear beside an OEM gear and found that the engagement teeth on the OEM gear were much larger and better supported. Looking through my bin of spare transmission gears I found that there are two types of tooth on the OEM first gears - the larger tooth and the smaller tooth. It looks like most aftermarket gearset manufacturers base their design on the smaller tooth. OEM large tooth left - Speedtek, OS Giken, etc or OEM small tooth right Decided to give that larger engagement tooth a try. Pressed the ring off an OEM gear and sent it to a transmission manufacturer here in the States. They did their "faceplating" operation with my synchro ring on the Speedtek gear.   I reassembled it, took it back to the track and promptly destroyed the gear itself.  I'll rebuild this and use it as a spare - thankfully just first gear and the countershaft are damaged beyond repair. Definitely disheartening but my welded on engagement tooth ring held up!  Moved to Speedtek's dog engagement design as the gears appear to be much stronger. So far they have taken much more abuse at the track. Also scored a Stillway lockout from the Netherands for super cheap. It's for some other RB transmission so it took a bit of fabrication to fit but honestly a very easy job. I also had to heavily modify the gates as they were very different.   Then for some reason at the last test and tune a silicon coupler below the throttle blew off and took out the radiator and fan. Thankfully it was in the burnout box and not down track. This car is really beating me up - I still haven't made a pass in it. Ran it through the gears many times on the street but it keeps biting me at the track.  Currently in the process of replacing the radiator and remaking the throttle pipe to remove the coupler and use a cast 90 and a vband. I WILL get this thing down the track...
    • Covers most of the above points really. There's a few exceptions but most just see driving as an irritating but necessary task they must complete if they want to get anywhere on time. Also see it as a good time to show their awesome multi-tasking abilities on their mobile and/or doing their makeup.  
    • I don't believe I posted pictures of the second oil pump pickup I added so here they are. Data shows it gets oil pressure up to the relief pressure much earlier in the RPM. Is that important? Not likely... This was just another attempt to fix the bearing issues.   I also heavily opened up the inlet to the pump since it now had to flow oil from two pickups. I believe the diameter increased about 1/8".
