Borci i rekn your best bet is to part the car out you'll pretty much recover your $7k.. going to court will take forever if you win..since from what i read you only have an old "dodgy" pink slip but i dont know how you can rely on that..? even though its a major problem over xxx period...

i mean if i sold my car with a 6 month old dodgy rwc..wouldnt mean much since its only valid for 30days regardless if its an ongoing issue your purchase wasnt based on that pink slip..

good luck anyway

That is true but this is our only option as I dont have the time, tools or space to wreck a car, this is what we have to try for now. This is what's turned it into a write-off:

Protip: Never inspect a car at night! Even with the brightest torch ever!

holy mother of f**k... how did you miss all that rust?

Was hidden under perfectly laid down Bog, I thought about it when I was inspecting it but it didn't look dodgy enough for me to question the guy's father about it, the seller wasn't there of course he was just "out" according to the parents, should have rung alarm bells then but yeah... we're stuck in this mess now and find out soon if we have an easy way out! Oh and underneath the chassis, well yeah 12am will do that to you.

hmm

1. Send in resume - check

2. interview with HR - check

3. 3hrs of computer testing - check

4. interview with HR - check

5. interview with Production manager and operations manager - check

6. interview with General Manager - tomorrow

No doubt there will be another interview for salary negotiations and contracts etc etc

yeah the place is pretty huge. They have about 12 factories in australia and are larger than amcor flexible packaging division.

the position is for graduate engineer but they are looking for someone long term who wants to progress to operations manager. Hence why everyone in the company wants to see me before they hand out the job haha

Interview at 2:30pm with the general manager, im hoping this will be the last interview, but there will probably be another one haha

    • There is a LOT of stuff that can be done, it all depends on how much time and money you want to spend on doing in.  Not all ECUs will be able to do it, and the more control you need the more time and knowledge needs to be put into making it work.  If you're willing to spend the time and money and have the right hardware and skills involved there's a lot that can be done. 
    • I am impressed with all this level of adjustment. I didn't expect all this possibility
    • Correct.  In the case of the 500kw dyno plot I showed you the car actually runs two boost control solenoids for boost control and a 5psi wastegate spring.  It allows me to control how much boost pressure is applied to both sides of the wastegate valve at any point and fairly accurately control boost target as a result. I've tuned it so that it's able to target anywhere from 5psi to 25psi depending on what's needed.  The target tables I've set up in that car are Gear vs RPM, so every gear has potential for a different boost (and torque) curve.   First and second gear have quite low boost targets, third gear actually has different target boost all the way through the rpm range as it's a stock RB25 gearbox - the boost targets have been chosen to maintain a peak of 600nm (what the owner has set as the maximum torque he's happy with putting through the stock 3rd gear) but it carries that to the rev limiter.   The boost curve to achieve that is something of a ramp up, then hold, then ramp up again and the power curve looks more like a flat line haha.  
    • so you can decrease or increase the boost depending on the diet as you wish?     by acting on the wastegate?
    • That's torque and power, it's all from a single run.  The boost curve is "held back" from it's peak target in the 3500rpm to 5000rpm range from memory, so it ramps hard to something like 18psi then climbs more progressively to 23psi nearer 5000rpm.   It makes the torque (and power) ramp more "natural" and less hard on parts and traction, it doesn't feel artificially held back.
