Hey guys,

I've just had my FC3S rebuilt professionally, it blew a rear seal and I've had to replace the housing and rotor. Brand new seals, series 6 corner seals, all new main seals all have been redone - rebuild cost me about $4000 total.

Has just had a new clutch installed, the car is still at the mechanics getting finished off so I haven't even run the engine in yet (if you want, you can do this) I'll get it retuned once the car is picked up or you can do this if you have a prefered tuning house.

Has had the turbo all sorted out, new lines on it (braided) new clutch fan at front to stop any overheating issues. All in all has been a really great and fun car to drive and I will miss it - looking to get a bike instead.

Any questions, please let me know.

Good points about the car.

Brand new engine rebuild, top quality job

New clutch

A lot of fun to drive, handles really well

Bad points about the car.

Front lip is cracked and needs to be re-fibreglassed, just the very bottom part

Rear bar has a small tear in it near the exhaust and could probably do with a respray

0438 647264 is my mobile number.

Cheers

Phil

      I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?

      This came quicker than I thought. It ain't even 2025 yet.

      I somehow quoted my post instead of editing it. I regret nothing.
