I'll PM you with my thoughts.

Cheers for the PM mate yeah I thought the same when I gave him a call because I want fit rapids v.3 intercooler and he reckoned they cant tune the car properly?? anyway so where else can I go in NT to get some stuff done? only want Injectors, Pump, rapid v3 cooler (prob have a crack at that myself with yellowturbos help) and tune.

Hey 72, yep it sure is Dale's old car, bought it off him in Jan this year. It's my first XR6T and lovin' it, can't wait too get back too Darwin and do some work on it.

Hello Doug,

I'm getting all my Herrod parts through this guy as he pays the freight plus push's on my discount for herrod.

As for tunes im going to do a tune from Rob Herrod and adjust it myself if I need too. (Rob on the phone)

I'm going to do an exhaust too.

I've got my brembo's ready to go on and with my coilovers and light weight rims track days are going to

look fun.

talk to me when you get back and we can sort the old girl out. :) And I'll smash you on the track :) :)

Hey mate

Nice sounds like the FG is going to be one tuff T. Well if u smash me on the track my budget will have to grow once again haha. I'm thinking about doing exhaust on 2nd round of upgrades lol and will toss up whether to do rims or brakes.

Got a question for you to did you say you put a better clutch in my car? coz just wanna know if I have to fix that up aswell. Month to go here and I will be back tearing up the streets of Darwin again.

yeah man, run a twin plate from either mal woods or herrod motor sport. Bob at car concepts can fit it, or mick at rev it up. Mick has my car atm

putting the brakes on it :)

Twin plates aren't cheap around 1800 fitted and they are noisy but they work really well and are strong.

The thing is I put about 14-15g into that car so give me a extra 15g to mine I bet I can make 400rwkw :)

don't count your chickens. I'm off to the track this weekend.

Upgrade the intercooler, I like the looks of process west and rapid. You could do the exhaust again but I would just do a dump pipe and

cat. change the shocks. atx by kyb, they are adjustable. Big injectors and pump.

Maybe think about upgrading to a flash tuner 3 aswell, you can tune them yourself (I can help with that :)) I'm go to learn.

I have Rapids kit coming up and going on my T mate, Im going to talk to Peckys about tuning it, they had alot of nice cars and Powercruise. I have spoke to Dave at Hi-Tech but have heard as much negative as positive about him around town...

From what I gathered earlier in this thread Peckys and Hi-Tech are the only places that have the software to tune the T's.

Concept Cars do to also im pretty sure, they're the Herrod Dealer...

But I'd go Peckys of Hi-Tech, extra $$$ = extra performance.

I have got my walbro fuel pump, siemens injectors sitting at home, new turbo be here soon as other seized, new braided oil line here soon and also front mount, get her all tuned when I can should be putting down some nice power. :)

As there are now a few NT members about I think the mantle of NT cruise Controller needs to be handed over, anyone interested in the Job give me a PM.

Why when you doing such a good job :) Whats invloved? I believe that I'm here for a few years.

When it comes to tuning I'm going to run a tune that Rob herrod will do for me. He is going to come up and

just fine tune it. I trust Herrod motorsport. I don't believe that any tuner in Darwin is 100%. Seventytwo

had his tunes done by Dave and never had a problem and the car was almost as fast as mine..lol (sorry mate)

Only problem with Dave is he hasn't upgraded the software on his gear.

Sure 1/10th quicker, but not for long. :verysad:

C.C.s organise cruises and run the NT section of the forum, not a hard job when there is only 4 of you.

I use Danny and the boys at Darwin Auto Mobile Care (Mobile Mayhem) for all my difficult installations. They are two sheds up from Bob at Car Concepts. If you got your clutch done through Bob then I bet you he got the Mobile Mayhem guys to do it. He just sells the parts, he doesn't install them. I got my CI twin plate through them. I understand Bob got his through them too after his flywheel flew apart on his T. They are a great bunch and they have been practicing on mine.

I haven't used Pecky's but they had lots of quick Holdens at the Powercruise (well plenty weren't are quick as my T). I've used Dave, but only to check my Pitlane tune. He was great to deal with and I've only heard good things about him.

Hey does anyone in Darwin have a Malwood Shifter. I have one and I swear there is something up with it. I wouldn't mind feeling someone else's to see if mines normal.
