Hey guys, I'm still cruising around Townsville so wave to the bloke in the turbo'd Tokyo taxi if you get the chance. I'm also trying to decide on a few things. My ride has some issues and its been tough to get some of them sorted. Boost creeping past 15psi, hesitation at 5k and stalling. Up until now the main issue has been cash flow (I'm studying - hence strapped) but I've got some plastic cash put aside now so I run into a second problem. Who will do the work?

So far the choices appear to be Paul at Extreme and Lee at LG Automotive for the mechanical (unless anyone else started tuning Nistune in the last year and I've missed it?) and Prestige Paint and Panel for some touch ups to the body work.

Any other ideas?

Deal, remember to bring it with you when you come up here.

Just had a look then and apparently it got thrown out a few weeks ago while I was at work. I'll try and find one from someone in Mackay for you tonight if you want

If anyone is interested I also have a turbosmart dual stage Boost controller and a set of anodized blue tuner wheel nuts (the ones taleb tyres sell)

paul at whitehouse st is the best for skylines, just hope you have very deep pockets. go to northern crash repairs on bays water rd their work is pretty good.

Hey man how bout dynolink?

Hmm, When I emailed them last year they said they didn't really tune nistune but could do me a viptech for a cool four grand.

It's already got a 3076R and some supporting add ons but it needs a decent tuner to get the best out of it. Right now I don't get much love above 5k because it either over-boosts until it cuts out or it hesitates so much it feels like the engine is just about to fall out of the bottom of the car. I think I will end up taking it to Paul. He had a little trouble with the software last time I had him look at it but I think I've got it sorted now. Plus he didn't have his dyno up and running then.

As for the body work... It's been to northern crash repair and I wasn't too pleased with the finished result. Nothing major just little things that could have been done better. EG: Small dint left in a freshly painted bonnet, bonnet wasn't aligned correctly, the body kit could have been better secured and tighter.

It's booked in for Tuesday with Paul @ X-treme. I'm going to try and get a video of it on the dyno so this weekend I'll be washing it and changing the oil.

How much did paul want for the tune? I might hit him up to for a retune myself.

      Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!

      Did the noise appear after your sand trap adventure? Could be something got dislodged and is playing rub rub. Even a rock wedged somewhere.

      Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.

      Strangely I noticed it either disappear later in the day, or not be present. I definitely noticed when I was crawling around that open wheel thingy entering the pits (that part was audible in car). Driving home and commuting around town for example, I didn't hear it. It's plausible that it was a brake disc or something still slightly in contact. The brakes absolutely felt BAD for the first couple of sessions, huge amounts of shudder and grinding as they got up to temp - And then I actually just forgot about it as the day went on/didn't notice it. The videos were from the morning when this was more present than the afternoon/drive home when it wasn't. I've asked around and got a variety of responses including handbrake shoe contacting hub, CV joints, CB tailshaft bearing as above, and clutch input bearing. I didn't test if it disappeared when clutch was in. I haven't noticed it in any of the other videos nor did I notice it when driving to that extent. More or less hoping the microphone at the rear license plate giving some kind of clue of 'something' but it looks like "spin stuff and see if you can notice it" is the way forward here. I could be smart and use the gopro mic and re-mount it to that location to see if the sound is still present at low speed actually. Sounds like a decent test whenver I have the CBF'ness to drive the car again. Given it's almost 40C for the day of the track day and the next 3 days after, the CBF is high. All I've done since getting home is unpack the car, remove the remnants of the lip and undertray and left it there. I was surprised how well the PMU Club Racers actually worked. The brake performance on the track was absolutely fantastic, best I've ever personally used, no fade whatsoever and the bitiness was almost too good, I was scrubbing more speed off than I needed to, but I also ended up infield when I started trying to scrape off ... less speed.... so...

      Not really, no. Anything you would do is easily reversible.
