  1. Likewise, I didnt really think the white looked all that good - but that looks quite menacing in black!
  2. I can see you posting, but all I'm reading from you is "I sold my Stagea and now I'm a lesser man"
  3. We did try a ghetto pressure test but Id say the bung wasnt good enough. Definitely needs to be specifically crafted for the hose you're fitting it to Very stoked. Probably not 100%, I'll need to throw a gopro on the back again to confirm - but I'd say there might be a couple of rich spots in my map (Untuned, highflowed turbo) but its not like it was in the youtube clip any more; any black smoke would just be if you were looking for it. I can rev it out to 7k at 17+ PSI and theres no dead spots after gear changes. If you haven't pulled the hose off on the passenger side after the FMIC, do that.
  4. I've been systematically replacing hoses and clamps, finally found the culprit. The hose connecting the FMIC back towards the turbo split on top, several people had visually inspected it and felt it - we all assumed that was fine. It wasn't. Heat, pressure and time - what a glorious combination. Scotty had a spare, so now its all sorted. Im back in business!
  5. Interesting approach to getting the dump pipe off, Toby!
  6. Aftermarket seats could be an option; my Recaro seats are considerably lower than the OEM ones - my view is relatively unobstructed and I'm 195cm. You'll need rails etc, my car fortunately came with the swap over already done but some others have done it in the country and may be able to recommend suitable rails if thats the path you want to take
  7. This is up there as one of the strangest parts Ive seen, the description is 'Shift knob lock' Unsure if its OEM Nissan or not. http://page6.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/f131339495
  8. Couldn't remember if there was a 'small' harness between the full loom and ECU - figured it wouldn't hurt to ask
  9. Hey Craig, I dont suppose you've got a harness adapter that is pre-pinned for an E-Manage Ultimate lying around as a result of your R&D efforts do you?
  10. Definitely sounds like the standard BOSE drama, http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/421854-m35-bose-stereo-dead-just-curious-what-other-people-did-to-their-stags/
  11. But I haven't done any mods recently?
  12. Ryan was kind enough to lend me his time and let me play 'swap the sensors' last night to see if we could instigate any changes.. and we did! With his AFM! It still blew some black smoke under high load but I was able to rev out past 5k, but the car also had hesitation after the gear change before it got going again. So I'm not really sure what this means
  13. Plugs are LFR6AIX-11 I did change the O2 sensor shortly after buying the car (4 years, 30k km's max; it wasn't presenting with any particular issues at the time - wish I'd kept that one as a spare now! Haven't dropped the exhaust to check the rear cat, hadn't really crossed my mind
  14. Just tried running it off wastegate pressure; same black smoke.
  15. No codes, that'd be a dream at this point! Engine/exhaust mods are: Hdi fmic Plenum spacer Dolphin hard intake High flowed turbo (GCG, one of the older ones) Decat dump pipe IMPUL ecu (I have swapped in the OEM to check that too)
  16. I dont think Im even getting up to 7psi, but thats just at best guess. I did change the plugs after taking those photos. Might see if Ryan wants to play 'swap the part and see what happens' with his M35; I'd be fairly surprised if your after market AFM was causing this problem - which existed with the same symptoms on an OEM one. Particularly as its at the upper end of its range. You don't think the MAP sensor could be at fault then?
  17. Irrespective of the fact that I don't have an boost controller, its not making anywhere near enough pressure to open the wastegate of its own accord - how else could I drop the boost?
  18. I finally got access to a workshop and compressor - but we couldn't find any leaks under pressure, we replaced some pipes and worm drives for good measure though - it's all nice and tight now but the problem persists. Monitoring the Informeter whilst driving the car under load it looks like when the AFM starts to max out, and presumably then the ECU starts listening to the MAP sensor, is when it has a fit. It seems like a protection mode, so the next theory we had was whether the MAP sensor is miss reading badly. Unfortunately the Informeter doesn't pick that up for display Any other ideas?
  19. Well, that sucks. Sorry to hear about your loss mate! Hope you stick around, you're a font of knowledge
  20. Who'd you get to install and tune that? Keen to hear about someone in SA with some hands on experience. I'm finally getting access to a hoist and workshop this week and should get my dramas sorted out - I'm wanting to get an EMU install finally done soon after!
  21. He's changed his headlights since that photo, does that count as another mod?
  22. Ditto. Ive bought through Jesse and I bought HEAPS through Import Monster; highly recommend both. IM is great for being 'self service', Jesse has extremely competitive (read: cheaper) rates though. IM are a big supporter of the local car scene, so I like supporting them
  23. You'd be foolish not to consider http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/432605-eoi-om350/ if you're in Sydney, imho!
  24. Mines currently insured through Lumleys. Haven't had to speak to them, touch wood.
