Not what I did to my stagea, but more what I did WITH it..

On the way to nightwars (a summer drag racing series), threw sparks all over everyone elses cars, popped a couple cats eyes out of the road and now all I can smell is hot metal... Flexi in the exhaust looks worse for wear and so does the rear tow hook... Might need to raise it. :(

Don't do it!:spank: As an extension to the "Don't buy wheels that fit the car; make the car fit the wheels" ethos; I propose a "Make the road suit your ride height" solution.

You just need to keep frequenting the roads you use; until you've worn a groove them all to suit your ride height, no more clearance issues.

Anything still grinding will eventually be worn away; consider these items "Surplus to requirement" Problem solved.:thumbsup:

You're welcome.:whistling:

They will not remove our restriction.

Ask Scott when you see him next how well it worked in that regard.

If I read the old discussions properly though, Mines wouldn't remove the throttle restriction.

I figure we're not going to get a flash that does everything we want, but a flash that removes the speed limiter and throttle restriction and gives us 80-90% of what we want is fine with me. And when I want that remaining 10-20%, I can get an emanage knowing that the two main areas it can't fix are sorted from the flash.

Mines completely remap the entire throttle map... does that mean they remove the restriction? Buggered if I know.

I asked them directly if they remove the restriction below 3000rpm and they replied "we do not", but they did state that they do remap the entire throttle map up to their normal 7100rpm (they will go higher, but issue a warning of "please consider engine safety").

I think your plan of the Gzone + emanage is almost as good as it gets.

came across this whilst searching ebay for other stuff.................... thoughts ???

Throttle Controller

Yes, a waste of money IMO. You'd be better off spending the $350 on real mods to improve the throttle response. Did you see the claim:

Enhances throttle response OR fuel saving of up to 20% ? I suppose 2% is 'up to 20%'....

new o2 sensor today

was hoping to pull the pins out of the old plug and swap it over, turns out the neo plug has slightly smaller pins :(

3 crimp joiners later and i was away, i think the old sensor was ok but for ~$70 it should help on the way back up to qld

also half way through waxing it, so its slippery through the air ninja.gif

Installed my Walbro 250 pump in my M35 today and set up a power source direct from the battery to ensure full power to the pump at all times.

Reason for changing the pump was following the introduction of Nismo ECU, 3 inch suction pipe and spring on turbo actuator was seeing AFR being too high.

AFR's on medium throttle and below 4500rpm were all good and around 11.8-12.5 but higher rpm and more throttle saw AFR's is 13's.

So new pump fitted and now AFR's are much better at 10.7 to redline.

Now to start playing with boost again to see what the car will handle.

:rolleyes:

Hey Andy, that's a big change. Are the AFR's that rich throughout, or mainly heading towards redline?

Have to do a bit more testing to be sure but I don't think they were. Will be able to tell you more tomorrow.

Also got to get the boost controller working again and run more like 17psi.

Nice result & keen to hear what the AFRs are like after running around for a while. Mmm, more boost :thumbsup:

AFR's are

off boost low RPM (0-2500) 13.5 - 14.5

Low boost mid RPM (2500-4500, up to 10psi) 12.3-12.8

High boost full throttle (4500 +, 15psi) 10.7-11.2

Quite happy with these numbers.

Andy, those AFR numbers are pretty darn good. Off boost & mid range is very close to what I'm running. Upper end of rev range / max boost is a little rich compared to what I found works best for my car, so you have a nice buffer to increase boost safely.

Did you get a look at max injector duty cycle now?

I knew someone would ask that...... lol

It is certainly better than on the stock pump but at redline I am getting up to 95% duty cycle but this is with AFR of 10.5 so not too worried about that.

      So I've been working on the car a fair bit, doing a lot of little things. Preparing some projects for this winter, as I'm taking 13 weeks off very soon for parental leave. Have my second kid on the way and he's due any week now. I'll need something to do while he's sleeping. I also usually take the car off the road in about a month and a half, until sometime around the end of March.  Still making slight adjustments to my tune, as the cold weather settles in. I've also had to start dropping boost and tire pressure as the weather gets cooler. It's getting very swirly at highway speeds. I drop to 20psi at 20C and 18psi spring pressure at 10C IAT's. I'm currently on 255 Falcon RT660's, but may look into running 275's next summer. They will fit, but barely. Might have to raise the rear a tad.  I'll start redoing my exhaust Monday, as I have the week off. I currently have an oval center muffler and cannon rear muffler. I've been told more then once from people behind me that my rear bumper is going to catch on fire one day. Seems I blow 5-10 second flames after doing a pull. No clue if that's the WMI, as I've never been able to do that before with other cars. I wanted to angle my tip down a tad so flames are pointed down and away from bumper. I also wanted to take the opportunity to reconfigure my exhaust line. I'm going to move my oval muffler to the rear with a pie cut angled tip and put in a new smaller round muffler in the center. I've rocked cannon mufflers on this car for the last few years and want to transition back the oval muffler look. I've also been looking for a stainless project to try out the new solar flux I bought. I'll post pictures on Monday, should be able to wrap that up in a day.  I'm also picking up another rear subframe this week. I wanted a second so that I could modify one with a gk tech anti squat reduction kit during the winter, and still be able to keep the car a roller so I can back it out of the garage if needed. I will also be caging it this winter. More on that later. Lastly, Speedtek still hasn't given me diddly squat. Every week for the last 4 weeks, they have been saying next week. They told me Friday to expect a shipping label that day to ship my two bad sets of ring and pinions back and nothing. There's definitely been more contact since I started destroying their company any chance I get on Facebook, but it's still just words without action.

      Have you done a pressure test on your intake/piping? Cleaned your IACV and Cold start valve?

      KISLOC2 line output convertor for subwoofer in Q50/V37

      By HYBRID VL · Posted

      i was thinking that the 2 wires that go to the sub from factory has some sort of preamp like you mentioned and also a lo Pass filter to get just bass. now that will only use 1 channel and that really should be all i need for a sub? if i was trying to put a set of speakers in the back i can understand cutting into the left and right speaker wires. i will try how im talking about doing it and if that is crap i will do it the way of all wires. thanks for the input guys.

      M35 Stagea intake suction pipe

      By Equilibrise · Posted

      Challenging mig welding thin Aluminium pipe and trying to fit it in, having to bend and twist, but got there in the end. Fits really well and can easily get a socket wrench in there now to put it on/off. I'm in the middle of another project, so haven't installed the suction pipe yet. I'll post some pictures and results when i do.
