    I thought it was only AdamR that had a horse-fiddling fettish? Now Macca too?! Damn! Any odds on gearbox breaking before engine? I'd have some of that. Fastest auto? Pfft. Loads of peak bhp (in an auto?!)... it's gonna be interesting to see how quick your car comes out mate. I'd race you. Your 1/4's gonna go... low revs... lag... lag... a bit more lag... some more lag... here comes the magic... the magic is coming... oh, I'm at full boost and the tyres are spinning - better let off... change gear dammit!... crap, the clutch packs are toasted! ;)

    Hmm. Can I book a parking space again this year, please? I know that's probably gone and jinxed my motor, but hey, it's looking kinda likely I might actually turn up in my 300 this year. Fingers crossed and all that.
  3. Oh, good grief... jus let sleepin dawgs lie. I got wireless free internet access for free and it came at no charge (ie. it was FOC) and still, it cost me nothing, yet it's still double-r barrstard faster than you guys in the U of K pay out for some hod-awful monthly for base level "broadband". Jus tessin... thas all. Noone wanna say Hi to me in da US of aaaiieee?! OK fock ya'all den. Yew don own me!
  4. Hey!.. it was luvvly and shiney at the last meet - don't you remember? It's at the long-stay parking right now... as far as I know :eek: I'm driving a f*ckin Saturn Ion at the moment :cry:
  5. Because I'm in a hotel in Denver with free internet access (why you no listen?!), and I wanted to know how fast my bits were flying through the air.
  6. In this hotel in Denver, via wireless connection... Downstream 1213 Kbps (151.6 KB/sec) 1310 Kbps (inc. overheads) Upstream 334 Kbps (41.8 KB/sec) 360 Kbps (inc. overheads) And it's all free of charge :)
  7. Possibly. If they let me back in the country, that is. I aint gotta wash me blinkin car again tho, have I?! What's going on then?.. table for 27 please?
  8. :D Can't talk about it Stu ;) It's probably a SE top secret mod. Mr C... at the risk of looking like some norvern monkey, stout-drinking, black turd bloke... :duffer: Maybe Stu needs to get on that with Photoshop and make it a frosty glass of Bud.
  9. Err, yeah. Cheers guys. I bought myself a two week holiday for my birthday which is why I've been AWOL. I've just got back in time to get on another plane (business this time, dammit). I might come back on here when/if I get my life back in order. Need to book another spot at the SE long-stay car park again. Where's my big throttle-bodies?! Oops... dunno if I was supposed to let slip about those. Happy Birthday Mr C! :)
  10. :D Nope, try again... but a bit slower this time ;) You've got a point I s'pose.
  11. Sorry mate, you're not making any sense to me at all :( Speak English, m*therf*cker!
  12. Does that make you a traitor to the north, Jockster?!
  13. Methinks someone should have their moderator status removed until they can regain a sense of humour. You can't mod a post like this Macca - that pic was priceless! :) Return fire or laugh along with the rest of us mate. Silently removing makes you look like a ruthless dictator - and noone ever likes those guys.
  14. Very impressive stuff! Nice one TC ;) Not tuned in the ECU tho :eek: :confused:
  15. I dunno what you're thinking, mate... we're all placing bets on whether it'll be your autobox or your Penfold manifolds that break first! :eek: ;)
  16. Kippers jammed in his radiator, and down in the heater matrix. See how many f*cking birds he pulls in his Shatso then ;) Undoing his oil filter (if you can get to it) is pretty nasty too, but causes a bit of an environmental disaster. If you're gonna let his tyres down, go round with a big b*stard set of pliers and yank all his valves out! :D Criminal damage tho, I s'pose. Kippers, mate ;)
  17. :smw: :smw: :smw: :cool: ;) :duffer: :duffer: :duffer: :dance: Happy Birthday mate! :D

    That pic's a 16-bit ECU, isn't it? I'm getting deja-vu... I'm sure this came up a couple of weeks ago only under a different Ebay item. Maybe it's the same guy that's put up a better text, cos the last one was complete b*ll*cks!
  19. I like it. OK, so it can be a bit scary feeling like the back end is coming out at 100+ mph, but I'm certainly no professional driver and I reckon it's been doing some good now I'm adjusted to it. It's kinda like getting the best out of an auto-box... people who're used to manuals hate those f*ckin things cos they don't immediately know what they're supposed to do with them. HiCAS is definitely a plus IMHO. Henri Le Hirs thread about HiCAS (from many moons ago) is well worth a read.
  20. At -14 PSI of boost too ;) Nice one Eds - that private track of Pete's really comes in handy for that sort of thing! :eek: No det still I take it? The Nissan ECU is a clever bit of kit. I'm happy with it. I know Macca likes spending money, but it's more about spending money on stuff that counts. Must get around to sorting my rusk out at some point! Nah, f*ck it! :D
  21. I think you'll find, looking at my latest plot, Peter Rosenburgis da man ;) I probably mentioned somewhere, it's not a final plot. It'll do for me for now. But there's the potential to go much further with my spec engine. Of course, I'll be here and putting up new plots as they happen. I'm not saying you're doing the wrong thing paying out for a DTA Macca, but I dunno if you're gonna see massive bhp/UKpound increases over a standard Nissan ECU. I'm happy with what Peter Rosenburg has done mapping my Nissan ECU. If Peter Rosenburg wasn't da man he is, I wouldn't now have the car I have. Peter Rosenburg IMHO needs to be taken out for a darn big beer session :) Expensive engine management?... pfft! :rolleyes:
  22. Stop it, man! I almost wet meself (again). By the way Macca, if you're going to big up Pete at SE, why not say: Peter Rosenburg is da man?! ;)
  23. LOL! :D Alright Mr Moneybags ;) What's the reasoning behind it?! OK, so a DTA is possibly a bit easier to tune than a standard Nissan ECU - AFAIR you don't need to keep hooking up an EPROM emulator... but so what? Not trying to put you off or anything, but of the cars I've seen in SE with DTAs, none of them seem to wanna start from cold without serious cranking over :eek: Not exactly ideal for a daily driver. Pete used to recommend these before he got seriously into mapping the Nissan ECU. I'd like to hear why he thinks you'd need anything else.
  24. Sorry about the 200 comment - I had my head in some engine bay or other and couldn't believe the turbo was piped straight into the plenum. Must have been a Silvia now I think about it. I don't think it was Guys - he's got an IC, hasn't he? You've got standard injectors too? Blimey! :eek: Sounds like that's a good next step. It'd be interesting to get some data logging hooked up and see what's max'ing out when. A12 again, eh? ;)
  25. It's got a blue display! ;) Nah, really... I like it.
