Yep, same, mate.

I've always tried to follow the "do it once, and do it properly" philosophy.

Now to decide if I wanna spend big on a new head unit with reverse camera, sat nav, iPod connectivity and blue tooth, or just update to something with iPod and BT only. I've got a pretty recent Garmin GPS with free updates for life, I just need to keep it in the car. I just hate having hundreds of different things hanging off the windscreen and dash. Would much rather an all-in-one solution and have the convenience of optional reversing camera available too.

eonon have some ok stuff if you don't want to pay $2k for an alpine gps one (or whatever they cost

my mate had one in his evo9 and it was pretty good for the price they cost (was a few years ago too)

some of them run android now too

:yucky:

Tez is using an Eonon Double din in his Evo; maybe you should have a look and see what it is like?

Sounds good, but he was still working out some of the functionality when I was last in it.

I might, actually. I need a single-DIN unit, which makes the number of choices a whole lot slimmer. Still, I'll have a look at Terry's Evo when we catch up next, maybe next week at the Club Exec meeting.

Haven't been on for a while. But ripped out the POS Asuka TV tuner thing and replaced it with a RaspPi running OpenELEC with a custom skin...works a treat. All I need now is a GPS receiver and touchscreen overlay...

I finally got my turbo replaced and now running my HKS 2530 that was sitting in the shed for about 2 years

How hard was it to run the RaspPi in the your car ironpaw and what are you using for a screen

Hey,

it was pretty easy since I just reused most of the existing wiring that was there for the Asuka tuner (RCA vid/audio in)

My stag has the standard pop up display so I used that. All I had to do was wire in a USB port in the cubby hole near the rear gate. Also downloaded a CarPC skin with auto resume script so it remembers my last played position. Bought a cheapo IR remote from ebay to complete the setup.

Cusco brake stopper fitted :) and new waste gate springs arrived try and hold some boost opens at12 ATM and holds 16-17 need to hold 20 plus make some more power:)!!!!

booked in for a dynotune. a proper one, not this run-in tune Ive been on for too long

excited :)

going to adjust timing to get rid of the cold start flat spot (been there since I swapped out the CAS), and tune for high boost

not sure what boost to aim for, its a hyrbid GT3076IW-BB core with ported front stock housing and .73ar rear

apparently good for ~ 1.5bar

Im thinking let them go for it on the dyno to see where they can get to safely.

309kw @ 19psi dropping to 17 (i think :P)for my 2nd run in tune on the heartbreaker dyno. Running it rich until full boost tune at 3000kms... 800 to go :D Full boost will hopefully be around 25psi with the 3076r and Tomei built motor, I guess we'll see where she starts to choke.

Redline is now 8000rpm with the new harmonic balancer, which is entertaining lol. The Old Girl actually feels quick, now to get her fast...

I reckon the colour coding looks great, whole car is looking good!

    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
    • Got just the wing painted and fitted up to the existing boot. Big visual change and about time after having a GTR wing sitting in the shed since 2018 Headed up to Mallala with a quick obligatory stop in at Boliver OTR Oil control mods seems to have worked. I checked the catch can after session 1 and there was a dribble of water/e85 with barely any oil in it. After session 2 and 3 there was almost nothing and I stopped checking after that. so either great success or catastrophic failure/block of the external breather The GTR wing made a noticeable difference in the 160-185km/h sweepers. It was a very hot day for the cars at over 33C but the previously done cooling upgrade/ducting/water sprayers meant I never saw over 60C intake, 105C water and 100C oil and temps would drop back down very quickly once I shut it down. AD09's are a decent tyre but certainly and expectedly a step down when compared the the CR-S/AR-1 I have had on the car for years of track days. The handling characteristics of my car which I often describe using the Tony Hawks Pro Skater balance mechanic where either side of the center is understeer/oversteer was much more pronounced with no "green/safe" zone in the middle. However, imo it steers well/easily during oversteer largely thanks to the custom ACOSTAL front end. Enjoy a loose lap POV with my mate giggling away as a passenger.   Group photo for Peer Pressure Racing made it back home and gave it a wash Overall a great success compared to my previous two track days where i cooked the Starlets motor and blew up the new diff in the R32  
    • Nice. I'm looking forward to the updates!
    • Ayooo, been a while mates. I have a s2 r33 gtst and air stopped coming out of all the top vents.   My car has always made an actuator gear noise when turning the car on but that's a different issue I think? Did searches and am at process of thinking it's an actuator or some type of motor? I see a few different actuators and don't know which one. Would be nice to know if it was the one that's under the steering wheel so the dash doesn't need to come out.
    • Hi, just checking. Did you get this stuff made by Vspec Performance and at what price roughly? Looking into (sometime later) also getting such a intake kit, and Trust as well as HKS don't make a full set like this anymore.
