Now I've got something funny fuel pressure related going on :( Just when things are starting to look up  :fighting:

Looks like another call to super chips is in order.
This is why I changed tuner, I lost count of the amount of map revisions I had with bluefin
Hmm, how many versions did I get from a certain tuner :stupid:

 ^^^ any remap with a sick engine isn't gonna work though to be fair...

I'm sure SC will fix it Alex, remember to pay this time though. You still haven't payed them, perhaps that's why? Lol

but your every tuners nightmare, because your engines made of chocolate and its never running right.  Let's be fair when you've been through 4 different tiners with it never being 100% I think we can write off the map as the problem.

@ alex. Id consider a trip to superchips hq so they can do it on their dyno

If you didn't keep changing things and dynoing your car every 6 hours then perhaps there'd be no need.  :P

I'd call a million free map revisions good customer service, there's not many other places you'd get that.
Bargin!! and i can vouch for ben knowing his stuff! the guys an ECU freak!  :laugh:

4 rolling road sessions in 6 months, 7 maps which I am grateful for (9 including the 2 stage 1 maps)

You've obviously had lots of problems with the car Dom and at one point it was running perfectly. As you know I offered to help and even contribute towards your brake problem but having mapped countless cars on roads/airfields some with higher power than yours, I know that while we might have got your brakes a bit hot with a few 3rd gear runs and then back down to 30mph or so, that didn't kill your brakes. Stock cars manage on track days, no reason why your car should have had a brake problem from that.

Anyway, the point was that we didn't just chuck our developed stage 3 map at you and left it at that. We worked with you to get it to how you wanted it, which I think we managed after the visit down to us? The car ran perfectly then. It's impossible to know what's happened to your car especially as it had 3 different tuners' maps on before ours. What I do know is that it ran fine as per your visit prior to the RR day of 2nd June.
We've spent countless hours working with you, retuning your car using the STS/logging method and also nearly a full day with you down here, a free few hours sorting out your STS and telling you that you didn't need a new turbo that you had done anyway.. we tried our best to help. I also checked some of your "very high timing pull logs" and as there's no actual ignition angle logged in those files (block 003) it's impossible to know exactly what the car was doing, so while there was evidence of -9 on one cylinder for around 2.5 seconds, we can't compare that to the actual ignition angle and so we can't even guess why it was showing -9. That was after the DSG map was added and so a rather large variable had changed and none of our previous logs from your visit here were useable as a comparison.

So alright, my comment was a bit throwaway and only meant as a joke, didn't really expect a potted history of the last 6 months in reply.

Either way I'm gonna bow out of this situation here as I don't think it's constructive for either of us. If you have any issues to take up with me I'd rather it was done directly by email or by phone, you know I'll help as much as I can  :drinking:

6 month history removed then.
I havent pointed the finger at you, in the other post I simply stated that other tuners dont get it right first time either. I did a swap for a map for the brakes as you well know. If you go through other posts you can see I have promoted your maps for you.
I havent really got a sense of humour as far the car is concerned, I only build datsuns for a living, so my pockets are getting very shallow because of the car :sad1:
