Hey Guys i have a proposal for you.

I spoke to Tristan Catford (GSR/EVO club president) and we can hire the timing gear that is used for the time attack. There are 12 units and the cost will be $500 for the whole set up. it works out to $42 per unit. These units will give you accurate timing down to the 100th of a second.

If two people who are in different groups want to share them then that is fine and it will make the cost $21 each, and i will swap them between the cars between sessions.

It really is only viable if ally units are spoken for.

I will do up a Propper timing sheet and will post that up if it goes ahead.

Just out of interest the cost of buying the timing setup is ~$6000.

I am definitely interested to have this and i dont mind paying $42 for it so that i can hogg it for the whole day :P

They can blow up your motor for free :D
ahahah +1 :laugh:

well they are only replacing my clutch and not touching any of the belts.....plus i am leaving work early and going to see it getting tuned.....love watching the car on the dyno being tuned.....also looking forward to driving it with a bit more power :D

What????? :P

It aint great havin a motor blown up for you, hope it doesnt happen to ya, but if it did you wouldnt want me to comment how you did

He already spun his bearing, i dont think anyones gonna be blowing his engine up soon :( Rebuild hopefully...

its the final tune i'd be worried about :P

goodluck

go easy with the slagging of businesses guys....won't be the 1st nor the last shop that's had blow ups on dynos.

Best to keep that sort of thing to PM....last thing you need is a Process Server knocking on your front door.

well got the car back last night......the new clutch feels so damn different....the old clutch is what i would call it as FARKED......nothing left on it so no wonder it started slipping lol.....but i am suprised as to how long that lasted under decent thrashings.....oil cooler looks like its an awesome fit.....they only had to shorted one of the lines the rest were fine.....but no happy as there is still an exhaust leak which i will be taking the car back to AM to sort it out.....there is a boost leak as well.....so a few more things to be replaced and see if we can get a better result....making around 230rwkw but feels nice and responsive

ruby, sounds like u can help me be nige's pit crew then :P

Can do. :cool:

jk. sorry to hear about your car Ruby

Thankfully nothing major ... just a bit too risky for the track. Got most of the damage sorted now anyway.

I thought it was just a cracked front bar?

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
