Thought there might be a keen talented mechanic surfing this forum, or someone here might know a mechanic suitable.

Must be honest, talented and organised and not talk too much. Prefer non smoker and hard worker who reads Zoom magazines.

NO you don't have to work on 300ZX's too much, we specialise in Nissans and do heaps of GTR's and GTS-T's. You can play Skylines all day 5 or 6 days a week. Get to Play Grand Turismo for real.

We do minor service to full engine rebuilds with lots of mods etc. See our site for more info.

Pay is better than currently on. Guaranteed to learn lots and have a rewarding challenging job. Experience with turbo's and performance cars preferred but not essential. Minimum 4th year apprentice but prefer fully qualified. :thankyou:

What about a mature aged apprentice ?? :)

Seriously, a good, enthusiastic, keen, mechanic with the right attitude will learn heaps and go far in the performance and modified world working at UAS.

If you a sick of endless oil changes and brake pad changes - give John a call - ECU upgrades, Turbo changes, Dyno Tuning - not just your average workshop....

And the challenge is to get my car into the 11s at WSID, 1:5x at EC and sub 1:10 at wakefield

I have been interviewing heaps and some are talkers unfortunatley. Some with lots of papers and qualifications but end up not being suitable. I have other mechs that are more layed back with little to no references and end up being stars. I am sure there are some people who are better mechs because thay are enthusiasts and INTERESTED than qualified mechs that don't care or lack talent. Confidence is a good thing but Bull shyting about what they can do and have done bla bla.

V8skylineman I have sent you a PM as you sound dangerous in a good way and possibilities, can't you buy a mechanics licence, and I think it is a bit far to come to work each day?

Benm and others out there you must know of good mechs?

if only this job came up 10-12 months ago, i was ready to move to the mainland then for work. there is next to no performance workshops down here. apprentice mechs do oil/filter changes for 5 years and don't learn shit. which is why i refused to become one here.

Tasmania the unlucky state!

don't have any good cheap RB25DETs up there do u? been trying to source a reasonably priced one for ages, that water pump i bought off u guys last year didn't end up being the problem, now i need a new engine!

rofl, I live out in the West, I have to bring my car all the way to UAS because no 1 out here understands Imports.

I know how to change brake pads in an R33 GTS-t if that helps :wassup:

      Boost level and torque curve

      I am impressed with all this level of adjustment. I didn't expect all this possibility

      Boost level and torque curve

      By Lithium · Posted

      Correct.  In the case of the 500kw dyno plot I showed you the car actually runs two boost control solenoids for boost control and a 5psi wastegate spring.  It allows me to control how much boost pressure is applied to both sides of the wastegate valve at any point and fairly accurately control boost target as a result. I've tuned it so that it's able to target anywhere from 5psi to 25psi depending on what's needed.  The target tables I've set up in that car are Gear vs RPM, so every gear has potential for a different boost (and torque) curve.   First and second gear have quite low boost targets, third gear actually has different target boost all the way through the rpm range as it's a stock RB25 gearbox - the boost targets have been chosen to maintain a peak of 600nm (what the owner has set as the maximum torque he's happy with putting through the stock 3rd gear) but it carries that to the rev limiter.   The boost curve to achieve that is something of a ramp up, then hold, then ramp up again and the power curve looks more like a flat line haha.

      so you can decrease or increase the boost depending on the diet as you wish?     by acting on the wastegate?

      That's torque and power, it's all from a single run.  The boost curve is "held back" from it's peak target in the 3500rpm to 5000rpm range from memory, so it ramps hard to something like 18psi then climbs more progressively to 23psi nearer 5000rpm.   It makes the torque (and power) ramp more "natural" and less hard on parts and traction, it doesn't feel artificially held back.

      Here's the torque curves from the car I ramped boost up later in the rpm to allow a slightly wider useful power curve - the power curve is a bit weird shaped also thanks to the TVIS (or whatever they call it with the 4EFTE in this Starlet) which changes the volume of the intake manifold throughout the rpm range, but you can see that the green power curve actually holds later on with the extra boost... but looks almost more like the kind of thing you'd expect from a cam or exhaust change
