Educated Guess At The Final Tune Results

[XGTRX]

No you shouldn't have to pay again, good luck with it mate, for fairness sake.

[Nismo 3.2ish]

It sucks to go through what you have endured. Especially when you haven't taken any short cuts and forked out the hard earned dosh. At least very soon you will be able to finally enjoy your fine vehicle and the past can become a distant memory. Hopefully you can get some sort of reimbursement on the costs of the f*#k up. Good luck.

Yeah, looking forward to getting it back, had so much shit after the build , there were not many good times, well except straight after Jez tuned it, that was fun but had to put the car in the garage for 2 months until I could have the leak looked at properly and without any crap.

I will try very hard to get a fair result as far as the $s go, I have plenty of time on my hands

Was this the coolant leak issue? Far out, didn't realise you were still going through dramas with this car - sorry to hear! Hopefully all can get fixed up soon so you can enjoy it

Hi James, yeah it has been going on since the build back in March last year.

I had to have the tests and checks done elsewhere and the true problem was found after the motor was pulled out and a long process of checking each possible cause.

I do have a full report and have given it to the builder, I will wait to hear from them .

The report is pretty conclusive as to where the problem was and when it happened .

I've barred workshops all together for doing shit like this to my other 32 so I know exactly what your going through. Always plenty of finger pointing going on.

Now i have serious trust issues when you expect your car to be in the best hands, it almost never is.

I'm never leaving my car with any workshop, It's been about 13yrs since I've used one and couldn't be happier.

I know what you mean, but my body is stuffed and I could not do the work, even if I was capable of doing it, NOT! , lol

I am feeling confident with the new shop, he tells it as it is , even if I am a pest at times, like all the time, haha

[mr skidz]

Genuinely good people are hard to find, hopefully it's up and running soon. [emoji106]

Just waiting for the rocker covers to be powder coated and it is taking forever and once that is done, button it up and tune the sucker

[AngryRB]

I've been to a few places where they have a big sign up, saying like "our normal hourly rate it $80/hr, if you talk to us while working its $120/hr, if you start telling us how to do our job its $160/hr", was more but i forget now

My tuner was happy to chat though without the extra charge and let me do some easier tasks..

haha, I saw that sign a couple of days ago at Barclays Marina , to top everything off I went to use my boat on Australia Day, started rough, revved a little but would not idle, pulled the dip stick and out came caramel oil, yes my intake manifold had stuffed the last time I used it and water had been sitting in the donk for a few months and it was farked!

When it rains crap it just keeps falling, lol

[AngryRB]

Must be due for a win soon Peter! Looking forward to you getting some rewards back from the hard slog this build has been..

It OK Mark, still kicking and enjoying life

I am pretty sure I will have the car back soon and cannot wait to feel it boost and have a couple of spirited runs around the hills, after about 7 months it should feel even better

[Nismo 3.2ish]

Hi , Well this must be close to the final tune , I think .

Advanced hard for response, I know you all love it used a 262 8.7 intake and 260 10.8 sharp ramp exhaust cams

I lost 14.6 KW up top

A few specs

Here is the power and torque overlay on E85 vs old Dyno
1000nm torque at 4000rpm
Gained 260nm at 3200rpm
Gained 75kw at 3200rpm
Gained 160nm at 3900rpm
Gained 50kw at 3900rpm

This must be getting close to a V8 performance

Still waiting for the final reports on the water leak but only days away.

Yes, The End!

The Final Tune!

I think ?

Maybe

Could be ?

[fatz]

And that's why you v the cam

[mr skidz]

Definitely flattened out that bottom end nicely would be mad to drive.

Do you think the 14 kilowatts was lost in the lack of lift in the intake camshaft?

I'm assuming you had the same size lift intake and exhaust on the old Dyno run?
