It is what it is Mike

:)

........ moving on, a great toy for someone to get stuck into.

all the building blocks are there, give it some love. Im dead broke (Uni student - Med school, plus a single parent) & cant give it any time, money or love

would probably buy (swap?) a mid-2000's commodore wagon with same Kms, just something basic but reliable

Yeah, can be ;)

Running well with the new battery - currently end of first tank since replacing & gotten 10% better fuel economy

What any buyer needs to know it that she, my beautiful stagea, needs her power tune done eventually. I just cant as Ive got no coin :/

Was 255kw on dyno prior to rebuild, was 235kw with the touchup of the run-in tune.

Youd be hoping for a nice punchy 270kw at ~17psi, turbo is rated for 20-1psi from ATS

Besides that, its what youd expect from a 1997 vehicle, albeit a fairly modified example.

Gave it a service at 128,000kms. Drives well. Will let it go at the 8k if someone wants it (will replace with mid-2000's Falcon or Commodore to get me through the next few years of Uni)

Omg - nistune type 6 board is close to being available.

Buy my stag, buy nistune, tune, see 300kw potentially

:)

(tune with my current ecu & see +270kw)

No cash flow in being a full time student means I can't afford to dynotune it :(

Just ended up doing a quick health check.

Running nicely, afr ~12.2, on 14psi made 247kw

Didn't do a high boost dyno run, sorry.....

Bloke cooled off - now advertised on gumtree

Had a swap offer already, but not interested in that option.

    • Ok gotcha, so one post to fpr  another to bov  and I have the mishimoto boost controller and a link g4+ so I’d just have the tuner set it up properly. For the last two from plenum post throttle to  ecu/ boost controller, I know that I have a hose coming from the ecu that I was confused about so I assume that’s what connect to the boost controller from the ecu? And then the last is just from plenum to boost controller then to wastegate?
    • From there, it was just a quick electrical check, prime the oil and start her up Which, is not what happened. 1. Bloody seppo Aeropro battery holder. Not only was it too tall for the battery (which I'll forgive them for, I have another battery the same nominal size that is taller than Neil's one, but the bracket is a fixed height so the battery was spaced up) But the thing that really shits me is the hardware to hold it on requires a 7/32 Hex key. WTF. No-one will ever be able to remove or install the damn thing without a hex key they don't own 2. Kill switch no longer worked once the console was installed. Neil mentioned above he had to adjust the length but it no longer cleared the console once installed. Sorted. 3. Suspiciously, the brake light holders were hanging in the boot with no globes. Sure enough the stopper on the brake pedal was missing so they are always on unless the kill switch is activated. Will pick one up tomorrow (turns out 32 and 33 don't use the same stopper) 4. All that sorted, I turned on the kill switch, turned the key to ACC. Nothing. Turned it to IGN. Nothing. Checked some fuses and found the main IGN in the boot was missing which improved things once it was replaced. Now ECU and dash lights turn on with IGN but still no fuel pump. 5. Turned it to Start....ECU on, no fuel pump, no starter. Plus the voltage dropped straight to 9v.  I suspect the starter is f**ked but am going to have to work through it all and see what is happening, really looks like more than one issue. Does anyone have the R33 fuse box key with the circuit it sources from (eg BAT, ACC, IGN, SRT etc) and supplies? I can find a translated list showing Amps and circuit without supply circuit, and I can find supply circuit without Amps and target circuit.
    • 3rd time lucky, the AAC is now all plumbed up after getting some final fittings All set up under the plenum of maximum access
    • OK, so the weight has been bugging because it was really low. I did it again today and got a more believable answer at 1246 without driver And with a 93kg driver I'm pretty sure the car was still slightly on the quickjack last time meaning the full weight was not on the scales
