ill be in gemany in october hitting the cans next year

happy to back it into a wall for ya, some people say i f**k around..,. but i garrentee to do it propoerly!

What are you doing with the Plazaman plenum?

Would love to see if it makes a difference in low/mid response compared to my plenum, I dare say it will, but I'd love to know before I go changing the intake again...

No thanks...woudl rather continue to nurse my little bus along and maintain my record of not being a car breaker....just crasher :laugh:

If you don't:

Throw a leg out of bed.

Spin a bearing.

Smash a Gearbox

Leave a diff on the ground

Or Eject the axles from a car,

You're just not trying hard enough!

Well, just need ome velcro for Blitz gear and centre console is finished. Next weekend will be making a better means of mounting the data logger on the column....never liked my old bracket.

I am waiting for my injectors and thephenolic gasket to arrive before I throw the Plazmaman on. I may be doing it next weekend whcih will save me a quid rather then the mechanic doing it :laugh:

I think i bought it off ebay or online somewhere...cant remember. It has been laying around for along while until i got a harness to move the aircon controls

Wait, so where did the air con controls go?

Interesting... Very interesting...

I need to redo my centre console, and that looks f**kING ACE!

sorry to hijack Roy.

i can suply you with a pic of carbon sheet to do the job.

i made and installed a similar pice in bens gtst http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Be...html&st=380

So some more pics I took whilst working on the girl...So current work in progress

TE37s before stripping, 17 x 9.5" rears and 17 x 9" fronts. Were in white. I actually really liked them in white but loved my old satin black LMGT4s so...

Awaiting custome decal set

They were abolute pricks to rub back and prep, even after getting them acid dipped. Big thanks to Troy for doing a top job on the colour, satin black with grey pearl with matt clear...looks mega cool in person with the light on them. Shame once they are on the car brake dust will most likely hide their real colour

RB24 Gear

Well, been hoarding this gear for a while now, but have to either build the engine in the next few weeks, or sell it. Imminent work OS means tough decision needs to be made. Dotn want to really build a motor when the std one keeps on rocking....

And with the Tomei solid lifters and 260/10.25mm Procams I needed to upgrade the valve springs...so knowing nothing about engine building it was time for some more catalogue shopping...

And there is always those annoying jobs you wish you never started. After my fire at Winton all those years ago the wiring for my AiM data logger was damaged. It required a new MAP sensor, oil temp and pressure sensors and wiring....so rather then just simply install what was required i ripped it all out and decided second time round I could do a better job of wiring it in....and has since sat in its box with the new sensors and bits

    • Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
    • Not required but appreciated. Super Coppermix Twin even the non-competition model feels like the pedal is noticeably heavier than stock which was pretty well judged IMO. I'll be swapping in the Nismo operating cylinder soon to see how that feels.  Personally I haven't felt anything that justifies replacing the damping loop, at least compared to more modern stuff where the clutch delay valve is actually quite noticeable.
    • He made that comment in my thread - In my case the vents ARE to lower engine heat, when the car is not moving, which is the only scenario I have heat problems with the aircon on, sitting in traffic, on 40C+ days. I can't imagine a scenario that this NC needs any at this point in time. I do not know if it will actually make my cooling when the car is MOVING worse, and I sincerely hope that won't be the case. If it does, well, um, f**k.
    • Nice, thanks. Thats why I was asking, there'd been a fair bit of discussion in the E90 world about vents and where it makes sense to put one (ie, over the filters is not great as that is inline or slightly behind the struts and in higher pressure area). I struggle with air flow and pressures. It sill weirds me out that a radiator in the boot can work. 
    • Neither really Vents, when located in the right place, will lower the engine bay "pressure", as air has a path to escape, thus lowering the engine bay pressure, thus.....improving the efficiency on the coolant stack (read: IC, condenser, radiator) This is why the Blits vented bonnet on my 33 worked so well, the vent was in the front 1/3 of the bonnet, which put it right after the radiator  If the vents are to far back toward the windscreen, which is a high pressure zone, it can actually force air into the engine bay, causing higher pressure and effectively loosing efficiency on the cooling stack, like the fab of raising the rear of the bonnet, which does allow heat to escape, but only when the car isn't moving  There's heaps of cool "fluid dynamics" info out there, but, I'll attach a video of a 'Merican joint that focuses on "Miatas" as I found it when looking into vents for mine, they explain it way better than me
