Dropped car off at dart automotive on Saturday morning. Turbos, i dump pipes, fuel pump, injectors and cam gears have been fitted today. Power fc gets fitted and tuned tomorrow and pick car up tomorrow afternoon. Looking forward to seeing the results

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.

I agree, nothing to worry about. Rich AFR & still duty cycle to spare so headroom for more performance. Nice one.

called bearepairs

basically as follows:

him:"we don't touch the tierode ends to do an alignment"

me: "but you said you inspected everything under it"

"oh yeah, wanna bring it in and check it all again"

"yeah"

(slightly summarised)

fingers crossed they don't jew it up this time, heading up to the boat this arvo

so keep an eye out of me between melbourne and the gold coast

Took the car to Nizfest on the weekend - a club day at Hampton Downs - Z club, Primera club and my club: Skylines Downunder - which has a Stagea section. Didn't take part in the show and shine or Gymkhana but had a track session. The new RB30 setup is not fully sorted yet (will post up details and charts when it is) but still fast enough to beat some of the GTRs (R33 and 34 that is, not the new GTRs) but eventually ended in a cloud of smoke. Will be engine out job to fix some oil control issues (smaller restrictors, head drain, sump breather). But getting there slowly!

yeah queensland is the same, and quite obviously we pay a premium for them

Yeah it's weird.

Up to 5 letters, and minimum 1 number, and you pay a once off fee, around $70 last time I did it.

6-7 letters is a different class, and you have to pay per year. Used to be $300-400 per year.

colour went down on car today just pearl over top tommorrow, also got my new plates for when she is all done:

Loving the 2 tone and the blue stripe; can't wait to see it with clear on. Very nice work.:thumbsup:

just casually drove from melbourne to the gold coast in 2 days

best fuel consumption (off bp ultimate funnily enough) was a staggering 9.63562753 l/100km

Started fitting the Transgo shift kit to the M35 today.

While the car was on the hoist I noticed the drivers side front drive shaft has split the inner boot. How much are people paying for the new boot and is it a DIY job to fit the boot?

Yep on my mates hoist. Shift kit is all fitted, just ran out of time so will refit the valve body tomorrow and test drive.

So not too bad a job then? Got to do mine soon.

All going to plan so far, just take your time and double check everything. It was good having a mate check every step with me. If you have GOOD mechanical skills it shouldn't be a problem to do yourself.

I paid $125 to get a work shop to do mine in Sydney.

    • Given by the sheer number of questions about offset, absolutely not. If you had the information formatted this way: Space from R34 GTT hub to outer arch = 100mm Space from R34 GTT inner hub to nearest suspension arm = 90mm. (making this up) Buying a wheel that was advertised as Enkei RPZ5 Diameter 18in Width 9 Distance to arch = 84mm Distance to suspension arm = 76mm 100% of people would know instantly if it fits. They would absolutely also know instantly how close it fits too, and no questions would need to be asked. You would know you would have 16mm from the guard and 14mm from the suspension arm.
    • Ah ok, for example for the apexi ecu I heard that it's pretty limited with the information it can give you. Also not sure why Nissan used the consult port over the obd2, what the idea there was.
    • Diagnosing with and without is mostly the same. You need to know, as Duncan asked, and what conditions. Car hot, cold, idling, driving, if while driving what rpms, is when you're varying, or is it when held constant.   From there it's understanding what can be causing it. Starting with pretending all of the sensors are correct. Which means if it's going rich, why would it be thinking more air is going in than it is, and under what conditions. So things like if only when under boost, it could be be a loose intake piping joint. It's just understanding the system, and understanding when/how the problem occurs, and then if it's only occuring in specific scenarios, what can be causing it.   ECU specifically, if it's aftermarket, it'll have software you can use, for the Skylines on factory ECU, there is Nissan Consult you can use. Most ECUs have a way to get data from them.
    • How do you go about diagnosing ecu's that don't have data logging, is it more experience at that point and just trying out things that you think will fix the issue?
    • Stock O2 are basically useless beyond anything at stoich. Any misfire will also be seen as lean. The stock O2 also read a collective exhaust gas volume, not each cylinder. Sputtering and missing means not each cycle is firing, and some are. Which means even if rich, as shit, on cylinders as they miss, they'll read lean, but the cylinders that did fire will read rich, and combined, well, they can read anything from rich to lean.   Start with the basics before even going looking at sensor values.   Edit: I say the above, and that's coming from the guy with a few thousand dollars worth of scan tools sitting right beside me right now that I use frequently for my job.
