Don't break your cars anytime soon.

Nissan Motor Co said it would resume production at its Kyushu plant on Thursday and Friday for as long as inventories of parts last. Other auto-assembly plants, as well as its Yokohama engine plant, will remain closed. Nissan did not disclose the number of vehicles affected.

Nissan said transmission plants were damaged and have stopped operations because of another earthquake on Tuesday in Shizuoka, southwest of Tokyo.

what's the headcount like for this afternoon?

I should be able to manage yet another one of my brief pit stops

Will be there for a similar pitstop.

I'm in for tonight. Probably walking however :( New radiator won't be ready for another week or so and after the radiator goes in it still needs to be sent to EFI for tuning so it may be two more weeks until I have her back. At least I should have a few more killerwasps for the hive with the intercooler and new ECU and it won't go boom with the PWR radiator :)

Nice!

I fixed it!

That's my days work right there.

Good shit bru.

Good Job, Team.

Mr Motorvation right here.

Thats what she said.

THat's what she said.

I like you, Noel

That's what Marty said.

fixed

AS in Neutered?? :blink:

They don't make parts for 31s any more anyway.

Will be there for a similar pitstop.

Nice!

I now have a nice stainless dump and front pipe for teh stag.

Dump and front pipe

Bit eBay Spec, but it'll do for $120 :D

Doesn't look too bad :thumbsup:

Got the old lady out of horsepetal today so probably a no show tonight.

That seems like good news :)

Give my regards to the girls and tell them thanks for the mamarys.

Will do.

You think I sit at my desk with clothes on...

I think you don't have a desk and this is all a ploy to make us think you are someone important!

I knew as soon as someone mentioned 'that's what she said', you'd show up lol

You're right :(

It's really just a stainless table from IKEA. Looks like something you'd cut an animal up on :shrugs: Maybe I'm Brisbanes very own Dexter.

My ears where burning... What can I say!

Not the thighs of someone rubbing on them?

LOL.

Picked up some brake pads on the way home, putting them in on sunday. One thing to cross off the list.

One of the many pics of the Japan aftermath.

Not sure what the car was, but I wouldn't mind the brakes of it.

Will have to spend some time perusing japan auctions in the upcoming months :P

    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
