time for some bigger injectors and a re-tune. now where to go for tuning?? hmmm

Hey bodie, my R33 came off the dyno yesterday with a respectable 254rwkw, nicer tune with a bit of economy as well (getting ready to put her up for sale), Ando from southside performance retuned it and did a little trouble shooting with boost creep. As always its never "cheap" for tunes and you pay for what u get, and felt his charges were reasonable. he also lets you hang in the workshop for dyno runs, discusses things with you, and generally is a good guy and has a good knowledge base, I spoke with a mate today who has a R32 25/30 combo who will also be using southside. as allways, its usually preference when it comes to tuners, and i will add, this is the third tuner i have used in a 4 year period with over 6 cars, so horses for courses! Damo

Yeah i already know Ando, he's tuned two of my mates GTR's and i've spent a fair bit of time over at southside when it was in burnie. Definitely a top bloke!

Discovered my engine to have a air leak around the intake manifold, pulled plenum off to find third and fourth runner to be cracked around the flanges.

Thanks to jangles for supplying me with another plenum.

Noticed we go off topic about it in pretty much every thread so thought I'd post this up.

Currently I have no idea how my line is going, haha, to lazy to check and enjoying the cheap mileage in the mazda. But the clutch FINALLY arrived last tuesday and that was the only thing left to get in before it all goes together. So shouldn't be far (I hope).

No the bloke that owned it called himself Ben I am happy enough with the car just run into a patch of bad luck I suppose these things happen but it's allways to someone else well it's my turn so it will be fixed and all will be good again. It goes very well so I will cop the pain cause it's worth the gain :(

spent the whole day on the car todaybiggrin.gif, new front mount intercooler which was supposed to be a direct fit for my car but i ended up having to use the jigsaw, hammer and making new brackets up.

Also removed the rook rack which involved removing all hood lining and side trims from inside the car, just need to make some covers for where the roof racks bolted in to the roof.
