people do say that. and they also say you smash boxes far more easily with them as well.

but from my own experiance we run ebay short shifters in 1 tarmack rally car. rb20 box. one circuit car rb20 box and my drift car rb25 box. my box has had one in it for over 3 years and never had an issue.

its each to their own as always but i competed in a mates 32 recently and i kept missing gears as they felt all over the place mainly 2nd to 3rd.

i had one in my ae86 with a CA18 and distroyed the selector fork.. unsure if it was related or not but i havent run one since. i know plenty ppl who, like yourself, have used them with no issues and prefer them but ive learnt to work with mine and the throw with the long knob (lol) makes it feel better for me again.. just slots into a gear where i want it

haha the knob jokes come thick and fast when ppl peek into my car.

on a side note.. hitting up the SAU time attack day this thursday! RSR's on front and 265 ku's on back. disconnect rear sway bar and play with dampers and go for a decent lap time!

either way.. cant let HESLO beat me

SAU track day went awesome!

did a best lap of 1.18.08 which if you know mallala is a decent time. even more decent is the fact that i was running street tyres and a drift set up still lol. with slicks, alignment and better brakes i have no doubt it would dip into the 15's

then yesterday i went back out to Mallala for drift school.. did some teaching and some laps. distroyed my tyres in 4 laps LOL. Also Fast Fours came and did a photoshoot on the car so keep an eye out for it.

Just a question on your inline afm sensor.

What ecu are you running with that and do you think it would work ok on a streeter

simon is using a remapped stock ecu i belive. or a variant on that.

plenty of people run the afm in the ic piping usualy when a biger flowing ball bearing turbo is used as its suposed to stop stall and hunting issues.

i know dr drift used to remap stock ecus with them in it and i have seen cars running with power fcs with them in the ic piping.

  • 2 weeks later...

time for an update... havent used SAU in soooo long and now that its working with the new format im liking it more hehe.

Yeah running a nistune ECU. the best shit for the money IMO. and yes the AFM in the pressure side of pipe works to stop stalling and reverbration issues and it works a treat.

at the end of the day you can even run a stock ECU with the afm moved... it still reads the same amount of air.

well the year is all but done and dusted.. car survived with NO mechnical failures. ended up winning a few drift events with it and placing well all round. Currently the SA champion for G1 so stoked about that :D

so the neo has lasted a full season. with 350+ rwkw.. and not a hint of blowby ;) next up is a overhaul of the fuel system and cooling system, then retuning for full e85 and see what more power it makes. for now here's some pics.

you would have to be happy with a mechanical hassel free year. anyone racing would.

the big question is thoe. if and i say if it pops do you open it up and rebuild or throw another wrecker engine in?

im going with the mindset that when not if it pops i'll throw in another neo motor haha. in fact i even just bought another complete engine package the other day. will be using the R34 gearbox in mine but not sure if i will keep the motor as a spare... common sense tells me that i should but i need the cash atm to finish other shit off.

pics kinda speak for themselves... car looks like ass and is pulled apart lol.

motor out to fix a whole heap of stuff... easier to remove to work on it. esp with no rad support now! have made it so its bolt on and removable.

now rocking a near new R34 gearbox.. should be awesome now! no need for a dog box here i dont drive like a knob :whistling:

    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
    • To be fair - you see the same thing for every clutch. There's always someone making an installation error.
