Thanks guys, I really am over the moon..

The box is definitely firm, but not in an annoying way, it's not harsh, but firm... It's still the standard tune and held Powerplay well, baked 2-3 on every straight, every lap haha then that video was 2-3-4 from 80km starting on the brake... Initially 2-3 and 3-4 had a strange shift, as if it loses pressure slightly while changing then grabs gear, if that makes sense... Funnily enough after Powerplay 3-4 cleared up but it still does it 2-3 under light throttle, but 1/2 throttle and up its fine... So theres a procedure I want to do, flashing it a couple times, to speed up the adaptive memory and hope for the best... It's pretty baby a good idea to do the clutches first then do the zip kit later to see what sort of a difference each one makes..

The issue with the coupling is that the sleeves inside the bushes aren't long enough, so the washers/bolts push against it crushing the bush before you even drive it... If those sleeves were longer they would probably badly work, but I've lost intest.. Im also removing the engine mounts and putting std ones back in, there's an annoying vibration when idling in gear, and I believe they may be taller which is what's causing my cats to sit so close the the body..

Mates hoyst is at a mechanical shop so, nothing too exciting there..

I really can't wait to turn her up, just going to drive it like this to sort out the box and there's still a few things I want to do like, drop the oil in the box, install the Niz alloy pan, and install a spark booster... I also have a sneaky suspicion that my diff us on its way... Bloody typical

Thanks guys

Did you get the Niz pan yet? I got a price on one a bit back, very expensive. But it's ideal being alloy with fins and a drain plug.

I ordered it at the same time as the shaft, they said ther was a couple week wait as it had to be made.. I have since run out of money, but will definitely be getting it, $900 odd iirc.. The street version has 2L higher capacity, and yea being made of alloy with the fins will all help with cooling, and will assist with hard launches at the track eventually, to avoid fluid cavitation

The engine mounts is a harmonics thing, think Ralph had a play around with the idle on his and found a sweet spot.

So yeah even different engine mounts require a tune lol

because they are hosted on vimeo, they probably don't work on mobile devices without flash capability.

Give it a try on a PC
