Delivered 40L of fresh E10 to the workshop to replace the dregs that have been sloshing round in my tank for the past many months. Surge tank is now set up with 044, battery is in boot and should be off to tuner to install G4 and see if it actually goes by end of week!

Excellent. I'll be able to get mine in properly! :rant:

lolz!

Nismo Shmizo.....Go for a Haltech PS200o and a digital dash!

Edited by Jetwreck

yours still not in??

dude its easy!!! lol

lol shut up!

It's in, just not properly. There's just about a 1cm gap behind it.

Apparently my Emanage has been resent today. According to the guy I bought it off, he forgot to put the postcode on it, which I think is code for he got the ebay feedback, Paypal claim, and realised I'd found his SAU account and reported him, so he thought he'd finally send it three weeks after he said he'd sent it, and 5 weeks after I paid for it! :spank:

What a crappy experience! :angry:

Amazing what people think they can get away with; and how they suddenly change their tune when confronted.:pwned:

Yep not happy. Not holding my breath about it turning up now. Oh well.

Won't be going in for a while anyway. Thinking it's not really worth putting in and getting tuned up till I do injectors and fuel pump.

So many mods, so little time and money :domokun:

Did you get some foggies Dale?

I'm gonna have 2 sets of foggies to sell in a few months time...:ninja:

hmm nice brakes upgrade. Too bad he won't ship outside UK!

Not yet :angry: Th elights aren't a really big issue; it's the surrounds. However, I've got a set of blanking plates that I picked up off IM for peanuts.:thumbsup: And due to the delays with my bars being painted; they look like arriving in the next 2 weeks so I'm still quite happy.

I'm considering milling a slot in the rib across the middle of the blanking plate for a DRL; but I'm also going to fabricate some ducts to fit in there too. Then I'll decide what I like.

wheres the gap behind the instrument cluster??

anyway, ive had an emanage in the garage for over 2 years waiting to go in this car.

no wait a sec, it was to go in the yellow S15 i had before the M35. so lets say 3+ years lol

Lol, put me at the top of your list, ok mate?:whistling: I take it you are getting the Nismo Bar?

SSsssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhh :whistling:

And i will have two sets (as requested) of the following parts required for the foglights this Saturday:

(1) B 5230-79972

(2) B 5370-89940

My mate will be here from Japan on Saturday - I'm picking him up from airport....

Jethro - Your missus is going to kill you - Renos are going well i take it??? Where are you getting your Nismo Bar from? That Blue Nismo bar i showed you a while back is still available from Japan AFAIK.... :whistling:

    • Yeah the ACL and similar formable heat shielding materials are really nice. But most people do not have the patience or talent to do a good job like that. Almost anything is better than nothing though. Even if you didn't form it closely like that and just had a slab of it slipped in between the manifold and somewhere/thing you wanted to protect, you would gain benefit. There has to be a market opportunity for people like Artec to make formed heatshields to suit their cast manifolds. The fact that they are cast means that they are consistently the exact same dimensions and they could add bosses to the castings like you see on stockers to allow heat shields to be firmly attached yet floating away from the manifold itself.
    • I've seen some stuff like this as well, not sure if it's a good idea or anything but it does have more standoff from the piping than the conventional fiberglass wrap:  
    • Jap premium will be 100 RON. You should use 98.
    • The exhaust gases are at their highest temperature as they leave the exhaust port and enter the manifold. They cool as they flow through the manifold because they transfer heat to the manifold and the manifold loses heat to the surrounding environment. Thus, inevitably, the exhaust gases are cooler as they enter the turbo compared to when they entered the exhaust manifold. So, yes, the exhaust manifold can easily get as hot as the turbine housing. Having said that, you will generally see the highest temperatures where the exhaust gases have to slow down or they are concentrated into one area - which is usually the collector on the manifold and in the turbine housing, because the gases slam into the metal at those places, increasing the convective heat transfer coefficient and transferring even more heat to the metal than they might just flowing past elsewhere. Exhaust manifold heat shields are a good idea - certainly for the stock manifold they are there from the factory. People seldom have anything like that on a tubular manifold because they are hard to achieve. Some might wrap a tube manifold with fibreglass tape - but this has a reputation of leading to cracked welds. The best case is generally to put ceramic coating onto the manifold to prevent it getting as hot (internal coating) and radiating/convecting heat into the bay (external coating). All the real heat from a turbo comes from the exhaust side. The gases entering are at ~800-900°C and the steel/iron gets nearly that hot. The compressor side is only going to heat the charge air up to <<200°C (typically not much more than 100°C). So that's nothing, by comparison. The compressor is not a significant source of engine bay heat.
    • Late to the party, specifically joined this forum as I just bought one of these and this thread has been a gold mine of info. If the OP is still around, mind if I ask what gas you been putting in yours? Mine has a Japanese sticker in the cap saying premium but it seems to get way worse mileage on premium (95) than 91. I always thought it was meant to be the other way round🤷 I do think Nissans claimed "6l/100km" is a bit fantastical 😂
