Wish i had more time when in Tassie, would have been great to swing by and look at the build. I would have sat there for hours talking shit :)

enough of that goes on with only 2 people there. sometimes a third comes along and you may as well pack the tools up and go to the pub at 10am because thats where we end up 5 hours later. :P

ben was just telling me hes been schooled propper like at project managing so i think hes gona get the whip out.

would have been good for you to come up to the good end of the state. talking shit isn't always a bad thing, some good ideas have come from shit talking.

your buggered now, i've fired up microsoft project. Your now a resource that will be assigned to tasks with a deadline.

nice. :) I like the buddy clubs. what size and offset are they? and can you pm me where you got them from and how much if you don't mind. :D I'm looking at more wheels for the 32 myself.

Something in those pics looks familiar, would love to come check it out sometime ben!

yes yes, you'll get some money for them.

6.4 cat back mate?.... that's .6 lighter than mine..... DAMN! lol

oh i know huuuge, your muffler must be light as. I'm hoping is will have a good note, ti exhausts always sound good. Cause sounding good is more important than anything else.

Did you happen to weigh the rear cradles? With the alloy hubs is the GTR rear end any lighter? Alsowhat Ti exhaust have you scored Marlin? My twin mufflerTi Trust exhuast is the street one which i am told is more expensive then the single muffler race exhausts...i am waiting for some dyno time to see if it makes the power i am after

More updates, adaptor plate is 95% done. Test fitting:

I got two bars out of the brake booster, and cut and shut them to work without a booster. just need to get a sleave to go over it, to double make sure it's not going to brake.

Alloy block to replace the booster, just need to find the new mounting point for the master cyinder, after changing the pedal ratio.

    • Means something is not set up right, tune/calibration related.  
    • Finally replaced the previous temporary mesh indicator surrounds (temporary was the last 10+ years 😂) with a 3D printed GTR style version for the front indicators. I think it looks a lot nicer than the old setup and at least the indicators now point in the correct direction rather than angled off. Needed a little bit of tweaking to deal with the intercooler piping but got there in the end. Old and new photos below. 
    • It's weird to me that you say this because I'm pretty sure locals with relatively standard standalone tunes (boost/barometric compensated alpha-N) still have driveability issues when they pop intercooler hoses. Maybe with enough data I can just train some kind of model that spits out an expected grams/cyl given every sensor input except MAF like what FCA did with their Pentastar 3.6 ECU logic. Basically stock everything. The main motivation honestly is to have a sensor that can be a decent baseline source of truth. In scenarios you're describing obviously it won't work every time but it seems to me the number of corner cases that exist in MAF load is maybe not as severe and difficult to manage vs ITB alpha-N with some MAP/barometric compensation.
    • What are your plans for your blow off valves? Purely plumb back? How soft will the spring in them be? AFM can be tricky to get super smooth and nice, especially depending on the rest of the system, and then can be very easily upset if something slightly changes. IE, even if you run recirc blow off valves, you could still see issues getting it to behave at certain load points as turbos might start to spool, but you release the throttle but it's not enough pressure to crack the bov open to recirc, and you can end up with reversion which can cause double metering, and hence dumping of fuel into the system, and stalling the engine.   If you're going to run a map sensor for closed loop boost control from the ECU, what makes you want to keep the AFM?    
    • It's not bad, it's just not flexible. And say if you have any leaks between the MAF and plenum, well then your load axis goes out the window. Here's a real world scenario, I blew off an intercooler hose last track day, as the clamp decided to Bluetooth itself somewhere. Still continued to do 2 laps and drive it to the pub for a couple of beers then home. Good luck doing that with a MAF setup
