picked my new Fujitsubo 3 inch rear muffler to go with the 3 inch system that i got from RBD2.

gave the stagea a service and one of the apprentices pointed out that my rims are actually Enkeis.

makes me sad they are covered in mad gutter rash, stupid japanese people that can't drive!

Had all bump stops and shock mount bushes etc replaced or rebuilt over the last few weeks: it's finally finished!! Although I have yet to take it for a spin myself, my mech says it's massively improved (and that's after the Bilsteins were rebuilt)... Looking forward to taking it out for a spin later in the week... :)

Just won a Nismo ECU for my M35 :laugh:

Paid a pretty penny for it, but i want to get the ball rolling with this car. more mods to come soon...........

also got a nice CF wing for the tailgate!!

Fitted my new turbo to my car. Only a slight high flow but a great improvement in power over the stock turbo and not too much lag. (turbo is Sierra stage 1)

A happy man. :worship:

Ps. Thanks Craig for your help and next time someone says turbo replacement and M35, it is motor out of the car time.

awesome stuff andy!

going to take it for a track day and tell us how she goes! sierra stage 1 hey .. sounds like GCG talk

my mate said to not call him when i need to replace my turbo :S

.. he knows its a bastard engine out job.. just like our cousin 300zx's if you read other threads everything that concerns a zx usually has "engine out" 50 times repeated in the thread :)

damn i suppose that was the one on import monster for about 1150-1200$ i was looking at.

well least someone from here got it :)

how much did you secure it for in the end ?

Yes that was me, win price was $1125 :worship: + shipping + charges. it was a last minute decision, if i knew someone else was after it i wouldnt have bid on it. sorry for that!

So it will be around $1500 landed. A decent price IMO with the emanage ultimate i already have, ill have full tuning capabilities.

ANDY: do you still have a spare turbo for rebuild??

i probably could have. but i like the emanage, had one in my S15 before. and im also a big fan of nismo products. HKS........ not as big of a fan. Not sure why.

also, i wouldnt have to go to melbourne for a tune if i went f-con lol

i will be buying an HKC CAMP 2 however! finally use one of those inputs to the screen lol

ahha gayest name ever!! lol no pun intended

yeah it will work well due to the throttle restriction removal. thats all i want it for.

hmm craigs engine 'mishap'. ill limit my boost to stock levels i think lol

im also hoping my transmission will hold up for another 12 months. 6 at least.

That's an expensive throttle restriction removal and speed cut remover you just bought yourself... :worship:

For anyone else with a highflow, Zebra is selling an Emanage Ultimate cheap, $450...

All good mate , i wasnt bidding on it , couldnt afford it atm :)

Iain thats actually quite good , because i was going to get that exact same ecu the first time it was auctioned and no one bought it .. for $1250 without + shipping + charges. so you ended up knocking off $125 of the original auction price.

so all in all you did ok.

F-Con. :worship:

who can tune the fcon v though .. without being a test dummy and spending 2k on a tune anyway for the vq?

cause thats definately within budget.

    • No intention of driving the car the way it's set up now, just wanting to make sure I haven't made any mistakes along the way so that the tune can go smoothly, I don't want to waste anyone's time with stupid issues. And of course I intend to get it towed to the dyno in a completed state 😅 I have the base fuel pressure with the vacuum disconnected set at about 40psi, which I believe is at least relatively close to stock fuel pressure, maybe I'll have a fiddle with the reg and see what happens. For all I know I could be wasting my time with this and I should just plumb it in and see what the tuner reckons. I just find it a bit strange that it seems to be under so much load just free revving, but maybe that's just a result of the turbo slowing down the exhaust gasses and making a restriction in the flow, with no boost to compensate.
    • The boy just hit up google translate and it worked a treat, he said step one was "please urinate with precision and elegance", he then sent me the correct translation  I get some new loctite for the small fixtures tomorrow and get some "dort" going after that 🤣
    • Right, so is the fuel pressure the same as it was previously? If not, well, it's not going to work well. I can understand the theory I assume you are going for, which is: "Run it N/A, and if I have the original AFM, and same amount of fuel and intake air as previously, the fact there's a turbo in my exhaust should still make it run" Which it... might? Provided you don't actually change how much air or fuel is going into the car.. or getting out. But if you have changed that, all bets are off. What is the purpose to even have the car run this way? To get it to a tuner? And if the goal is to limp it to a tuner, you're still going to what - plumb up a whole intercooler system and new intake in the parking lot out front before your tune......?
    • Haha yea it's a bit of a weird setup at the moment, just wanted to make sure I sorted out any headaches before dyno day. At the moment I've changed the exhaust manifold, turbo and downpipe, 460lph fuel pump and rising rate reg as well as the previously mentioned headstuds and gasket. The nistune was already mapped for the car as it was and drove around for a few months no worries. The plan is to run flex fuel hence the big pump, which I've wired direct to the battery through a relay to avoid voltage issues.
    • Um. Was the ECU the same as the one previously there? I know R33's needed R32 GTST ECU's or other tomfoolery to run Nistune. This is such a wild setup. Most people would plumb in the turbo then not drive the car (i.e tow it to a tuner). What's actually changed since it last ran?
