all great ideas! how would we go getting my space saver on the plane.... had a dream lastnight that we got 2 flats :) lol nerest bauerepairs is a long long longggg drive!

jerry cans is a must! and i think the best thing is to top up when we hit like half to a 1/4 of a tank... the dude rekns the carf will get 450ks on the highway who can back this up? obviously its all how you drive but need somthing to gauge!

cheers for the route ill program it in my gps and see what it says.

got a lot of boot space who wants to save on shipping? :P

did you dream your flats were front or rear? cos your standard space saver won't clear the brembos up front :D

OH shit thats handy...

My Autech and the RS4 had diffrent space savers, and the trim piece that goes over the top is different, if you try to put the RS4 over the Autech space saver it sits up to high, where as the autech trim is recessed to suit?

Mine gets about 450km's a tank. So sounds about right.

Carry a few cans of Tyre Weld, hopefully you won't get anything that this won't fix - saves you worrying about carrying a spare which might not fit your new car.

Where abouts in Sydney are you picking up this car, Adam?

First of February? Sounds good, we should try and sort something out.

its a sunday but we need to get driving shortly after getting it... maybe meet up with a few of the nsw stags... how far from main syd is lane cove?

Lane Cove is well within the Sydney metro area, and about 15-20mins from Sydney city itself, on the North side of the harbour.

how far is the cab ride guna be?? fair bit im guessing ;)

take a train from airport into Central ($12 from memory) and change there to catch another train to North Sydney. Then catch a cab from Nth Syd station. You might even be able to get off somewhere closer to Lane Cove, just ask when you buy your train ticket. I lived in Syd for 5yrs.

5 yrs hey :( feel free to come along! :( fairly excited!

it will probably cost $40 or so for a cab from the airport/lanecove if there is traffic about.

for the money and time i would jump straight in a cab (unless someone can pick you up).

It cost me over $50 just to get from the domestic airport to the city (Wynyard) but that was during peak hour. It'll be another $20 from City to Lane Cove. But if it's the weekend that you're going, it'll be much quicker and cheaper. Don't forget if you catch a taxi you're slugged the bridge toll too. Catch a train will be about $15 each (Chris is going too yeah?) But a cab would be about I'm guessing $50 to LAne Cove. In saying that, whereis.com staes it's only a 19min drive from Syd Domestic Airport to Lane Cove. Seems a bit quick.

Yeah, wish I could go too!

    • 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 🙂
