Ok, thats fair enough Scottie.

Many apologies to all regarding the slow progress of late regarding this project.

I have been trying very, very, very, hard to get things wrapped up but alas these delays are unfortunately out of my control (which has been frustrating the hell out of me :verymad: )

So, after I called the tuner last week (who was frantically focusing on getting ready for Jamboree), my Haltech ECU decided to more or less crap itself after an hour on the dyno - something to do with the coms port not reading. The tuner told me he has sent the ECU to Haltech for repair.

Needless to say that after that conversation I felt pretty much guttered.

From seeing the Ant-Eater being tuned on the dyno to this was rather depressing. Although its a new computer (as in never been used) its out of its warranty period.

Anyways, to cut a long story short, I have been in contact with Haltech today (who are a great to deal with BTW) to find out what the prognosis is.

The ECU has passed preliminary testing which is positive to hear. However, there is a display error - im not sure what this means yet.

I have been told that the ECU will be returned tomorrow to the workshop, so hopefully it will be all good.

That is all I have for the moment guys.

I do hope to have some communication from my tuner this week and x fingers it will be ready soon.

Once more information is made available to me I will off course update you's all.

Oh man! Your so close! Not long to go now :)

Glad to hear Haltech were happy enough to assist you though, i was strongly considering one before i picked up my nistune. However local Adelaide support was the decider for me.

Get us some dyno footage :D! Must hear... rb..

Thread needs more pics of the car back in your hot little hands Ants.

Not sure where about you live but have you thought about trying it on E85? or maybe getting the Haltech Flex Sensor and run both. Sorry if this has been covered before

So future plans are to get it tuned on E85 and install an ethanol sensor just 4 piece of mind and hopefully crack that 400rwkw.

Since I have a United service station literally not even 300 meters away, the availability of E85 is not an issue.

After speaking to Sean, he mentioned there is plenty of power to be had. So things look promising.

    • Much less twat-tastic. CF wheels are too garish for civilised use.
    • From there, as the manual says....assembly is the reverse of disassembly, no tricks worth mentioning Much better (for me)
    • In my case, the standard wheel I had was in good condition but the buttons had more wear, so I swapped them across from the original wheel from the car. The plastic rear cover is held on by 4 tabs, and once the wiring is removed you can get access to 2 screws on each side the hold the buttons in From there I just swapped the wiring over. What was interesting is the standard style wheel is 2.0kg but the carbon fibre one is 50% heavier at 2.9kg. It even has a weight inside the wheel at the top to make up for some sort of imbalance in the design. weird
    • Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller
    • So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stomp on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off
