Watch out ! Its photo time with Uncle Gordo!

Well its been about a month since I moved up here. Regret not one single thing about moving here, which has been great. Been travelling around a heap, up to Sunshine Coast, down to the Gold Coast, around Brisbane and lots of other places. Everything is unbelieveable up here and so much better, and I don't think I'll be coming back to VIC anytime soon unless on holiday. Up here *every* day feels like a holiday :P

Anyhow, had my fun and my semi-holiday, now its the new year better get serious about finding work and boring stuff like that.

So I've been going crazy with the digital camera on my travels.. some large photos here, but most of you are slacking off at work so i'm sure its not too much troublez :)

Rainforest up near Birra Burra and of course some skylines:

BAHAHA, umm im getting ready to go out, the 'tuning' will be done later tonight on the dyno... :zap:

hehe, its kind of a long drive though, although not that bad as long as some f*cker truck doesn't rip your door off! New panel goes on tomorrow, then at some stage i'll get them painted - i'll post a pic, the multicoloured 33 :P

yup, its really good - i'm sure the "new" feeling will where off a bit when i have to do boring things like work, etc but for now its awesome..

btw: note my new sig :)

are you there forever now?

make sure you go to woodford folk festival from 26th of decemder - 1st of jan (end of the year i know) awesome, been twice, once as a guest and once as a performer. and its boiling but pissing down rain, and they are all free lovin hippies there, i may go this year to play drums

so yes

GO!

Stands up and salutes his home state...

Nice pics gordo, the drive to the glass house mountains is very scenic... Did u make it up to coolum and noosa?

We could do a whole promotional campaign, where we take pics from our day to day lives, just to rub it in a touch, lol.

The feeling of being on holiday never wears off, well its hasnt for 14 months for me :D Qld is not just a place to live, its a lifestyle

:zap:

hehe, it would be too easy! yeah, lots of photos have turned out great. Made it up to Noosa for a bit (although it was a bit grey at the time) but believe it or not i think its way overrated, seemed pretty shitty to me. Better beaches and lots of other things many other places.

my mate who was up for a couple of weeks and had never been, quickly came to the conclusion it was better than melbourne and i just said "well told you so, now back down to melbourne with u and all the other mexicans! :D"

    • 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 🙂
