Racing in my first real grid race on saturday....bit nervous about it but looking forward to it!!

So excited for you mate, sadly i will not be able to make it as i have to work :P . It is a piss poor excuse i know but i will be out on the track with you soon i hope.

I am interested to see your thoughts on the shift light set up i am in the market for one.

Charles!

Hows it going mate?

So far so good!

I had Clappa fit it this arvo, he made it look very easy!!!

the default setting goes off at 1k, 2k, 3k, 4k - all the green lights

then 5k is organise, 6k orange and 7k is red.

I drove home from clappas and gave it a hit here and there, works well.

it also picks up theat if your crusing at a certain rpm (say 2.5k rpm) on the freeway for a couple of mins, it actually dims the lights.

So big ups to Clappa for helping me out once again!! infact, I think him and Ando have done the most work on my car 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.
    • 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 🙂
    • After drying a few days, time to put her back together
