nah, car is still at micolour... mick has my front bar and grille reshaped and my reo risen so that the front all fits together and looks OEM!

micolour FTMFW

car goes to racepace sometime this week

Yeah I couldn't remember lol

nice nice, cheaper oils for you then I guess :P they can order in a lot of aftermarket parts like HKS intercoolers kits for example and shit as well cant they?

'34 might be sold next week. Happy pants again :thumbsup:

Also, I am useless at self-serve wreckers. Took me 1.5 hours to remove a steering wheel and headlight from a car. Most of that was the headlight, didn't help that the guard and indicator were squashed against the headlight which made it hard to get out.

man workin is over rated.

gettin paid to do nothin is where its at.

+1. It's freakin awesome.

Having said that, I'll be working my ass off in the next 2 weeks. Moving office. Time to put my guns to use :P

fkn realestate agents, do shit fk all. Open up the door for inspection, hand out some brochures and get a massive commission when the house sells haha

Been viewing some houses over the weekend and they all driving mercs and bmws and look like they 18yrs old.

to violence against women i say no, but i came this close today to smashing the f**k out of this dumb blonde broad minded person on the great ocean road.

not only did she ignore the signs that clearly say "SLOW VEHICLES f**k OFF OUT THE WAY AND LET PEOPLE THROUGH" but she also ignored my many beeps, high beam flashes, hand gestures and cries of "f**kING MOVE IDIOT" and she could CLEARLY see/hear me. f**k i hate inconsiderate f**ks like that. if only i was in my cousin's truck i would've ran the bitch over and pushed her in the f**king sea.

haha yeh on the surface it looks that way but like any job a lot more goes into it than that.

plus no sell no pay, so the commission has to be worth it since we are risking making nothing.

haha s'all good.

Give me some pointers on low-ballin. How much higher is the stated price range compared to the absolute minimum someone will accept it for :P

    • Appreciate the feedback. It is street car, but not a daily. Last week I got a quote from a good exhaust shop for a decat, one which is bolt-on, bolt-off to be easily replaceable. I got quoted for around €150. I usually do push the motor, but I wasn't in this case to make sure that no damage is done until I get the cat sorted. I think it's best to also ask the exhaust shop for the other option and see what they can do. If (big if) I were to decat though, would it be best to tune the car or would the stock ECU handle it? As far as I know, the stock ECU is not tunable and that would require additional purchases.
    • As above, definitely bash it or get it replaced with a high flow unit.
    • get some flares on them, or wider guards 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.
