yep, i think they've damaged their business rep beyond repair now

Yep, the page is done now. The trolls are pouring in from the forums, they don't even know why they're going mental, but they're going to do it anyway. No one has any control anymore.

The business won't survive. And I've had confirmation it made it onto reddit, 4chan, most Aussie car forums, and was seen as far away as the Netherlands.

I'm starting the writeup of the post mortem now. There are already a couple floating around.

wow yeah last time i saw you Sam was Kadina show that Craig organised :wave:

I had thought the south defeated in 1865. It seems we must restore the rule of law once more.

Oi, wanted to letcha know, walked out of your place with some merchandise earlier, as you asked (well, more dared) someone to do. Have a nice day going through inventory and figuring out what I took when you weren't watching.

So what would a really tidy r33 s2 with 270rwkw be worth these days?

I would say depending on K's, service history etc roughly about 15Kish

ah yes i remember your old 31 drift beast! i got an s15 now, stock as a rock though

You have to join up to SAU:SA Sam and come on our next breakfast cruise coming up Sun 18th Sept, to show off your new toy! And we have a track day coming up in November - even a stock S15 can be a lot of fun out there.

yeah would say 15-18K sounds about right with a fair bit of work done on it.

I disagree - modified R33s are the hardest thing ever to sell (well ALL cars are near impossible to sell at the moment - just ask Damo, Volk34 or BitSus) .... the modifications are worth very little in this day and age of defects and blown engines .... I would have thought $15k would be a max number - there are R33GTRs selling all over the place for near that price - and all you have to do it minor mods to make them 270rwkw.

While i agree with you cars are extremely hard to sell,

where are all these 15k r33 GTR's? lol

Boof, didnt realise u were dealing with ETSA projects lol. We're at port wakefield for the Pt Wakefield - Proof Range 33kv upgrade till next thurs........dont panic if anyone sees the Patrol drivin around with a female at the wheel, ive lent it to a friend

    • 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 🙂
    • After drying a few days, time to put her back together 
    • The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.
