@biddie_fiddler will probably know the answer to this, if he's not too busy building houses or making babies

Afaik the FG utilises a different torque reduction strategy for upshifts. There are details on the PCMTec forum. What is more likely happening in your case is is actually hitting the limiter, as well as displaying the shift characteristics. When you raise the power level, a usual side effect is the transmission isn't able to make the shift before hitting the limiter. You can tune the trans to tighten it right up and shift properly, while a better solution is to raise the rev limiter by 200rpm so it doesn't actually tag it. Do not hit the limiter with stock oil pump gears, you're better off raising it high enough so you don't touch it.

House is better than a rental, no need to ask permission to install the sex swing

Yeah probably hey, nothing is cheap anymore

Yeah man, it's also upgradable to awd if I ever feel the need to spend another house deposit or 3 again.

I have a spare transfer case that I will lock for that stuff. It only takes 45 minutes to swap it over and remove the front drive shaft.

Yep I'll pick it up on Saturday more than likely. I have the electrician coming out next week to install a 3 phase plug for it. From there I'll just need to set it up, it is a Mainline 2WD600P, so it is reasonably easy to install. There's still some time to pass before it's up and running, but I've paid for it and it's mine so that part is done at least.

Yes we can do that

Nah I'll do a dedicated thread, plenty of pics, should be a fun time.

I already have one lined up and I won't have to turn people away now when they hit me up

Yes the previous experience and tools are the key. Without those, things take much longer. Yeah a huge shed would be nice, perhaps this dyno can help me save up for one

Oh it isn't set up, is still under my verandah waiting for a suitable shed. I just know how to work efficiently and sometimes work long hours to get sh*t done.

Well I already owned a shed and a hoist... I'll get some pics shortly, maybe on the weekend.

One of those

It's not a vehicle of any sort

Funds have been transferred, will arrange pickup shortly. Hmmmm I wonder what it could be?

Another day, 1 step closer

Any guesses?

Getting close now

Ok that was a long enough break, sh*ts gonna get real crazy real soon lol. I'll update when it does. Thank @k31th for talking some sense into me to come back eventually, cos I was a bit cranky there for a minute lol.

Car is running well, makes around 330awkw after a wind or two of the boost controller. Having a built trans in it transforms the car, it chirps second when you give it the beans. It's quite enjoyable at this power level, plenty fast for the street and fark knows what I was thinking building a car with double the power?! Apart from that nothing new. I'm gonna take a break from posting for a while, I've got other things that are taking up a large portion of my time and I need to focus on those areas. I'll be back when I'm ready to resume posting.

Yay Wednesday

Haha yerp there's a couple of good tips right there. Balancer off, timing cover toward battery, engine oil in the crane so it actually lifts and undo the bonnet supports so the crane doesn't get stuck on your turbo scoop. Lift engine off the mounts then remove the mounts from the block is another tip. Plenty of things you can do to make it go easy.

New bosch pump for intank applications Ye olde pumpe

The zf doesn't slip in gear when it's operating properly, all the relevant clutch packs are locked and the converter is locked. It may as well be a manual trans for that comparison.
