It's only taken you a few years. :P

lol yeah yeah yeah. It's taken me just over a year, but it's been a busy year. Hopefully taking my time and doing it all properly pays dividends.

Adjusted the rear swaybar on the M35 today from the softest to the middle setting... Holy shit what a difference!

Would be keen to go all the way but I'm a bit worried the Mrs would accidentaly get it sideways around a roundabout in the wet & clip a gutter. :(

From memory those settings Alex listed were the Whiteline recommendations? Thats what I've got my car on and it feels great.

Why Cusco Zero2Rs? BC BRs deliver, and are cheaper?

Ordered my internal bits today: pistons, rods, head gasket, studs, pins, rings, head studs... Getting excited: it's all coming together: block is in getting honed and prepped, so will hopefully have it all screwed together next week...

That said, I imagine my tuner will be taking Christmas off, so I doubt I'll even have a run-in tune until mid January at the soonest...

Not what i have done but what i've found out:

you can now use google translate (at least on android) to translate photo's of text from jap to english!!!!

Pointed the phone at my fuse box, highlighted the text i wanted and bam! It told me what the japanese said and it made sense!

yeah, i downloaded it and printed it out

but its also useful for other areas where there is no known translation

or for areas of interest for the jap service manuals (r33/r34 etc)

Car was finally tuned yesterday. Bad day for it with the heat, but oh well.

We had issues with the config of the EVC to start with. For some reason it had started just delivering 7psi. By the end of the day it was fine and back up to 15psi, but it's pretty obvious that I'll need Scotty's upgraded wastegate spring.

Few things still to clean up on the tune but we'll get there.

looks good Ryan.

Seems like the shut if down pretty early- about 6000rpm. Stock turbo is out of puff anyway. Magic question - what was the AFM volts maxed at?

    • Also had a look at the Nissan JP website looks like the 400r has a slightly shorter ratio than than the regular V37 3.133 VS 2.937 which from a guy who has driven both 3.69 vs 4.11 ratios in the S15 is bugger all. Seems that the AUTO Z runs the same ratio as the 400R but can't find any info as to if its an open or LSD? More often than not the auto LSD is open
    • Do not replace the power steering lines with this stuff. If it's anything like the Chase Bays stuff it will leak and be worse than stock. The reason why the reservoir is on the LH/passenger side of the car is because that's just where the reservoir was most convenient to fit. Don't overthink this stuff. The intake/cold side of the engine is pretty busy on these cars. And again, the hardpipe is designed to be a janky power steering cooler. In theory you can replace it with a real power steering cooler but that's really only for track use where boiling the fluid is a distinct possibility. Start with the low pressure lines feeding the pump from the reservoir. Make sure there isn't a bunch of junk in the reservoir filter. Be careful to not get ATF all over the engine bay. I hate dealing with ATF spills, you can clean it up and the slightest crevice will still release more oil that can still drip over time. You also want to inspect for leaks before you make a mess and can't tell what happened. Most likely you have a leak somewhere that is allowing fluid out and air in. Failing that it's allowing air in but not fluid out. Only place I can really see that happening is on the low pressure side because the pump will pull a slight vacuum to draw fluid in. Everything after the pump is high pressure or lower pressure, approaching atmospheric by the time it returns to the reservoir.
    • I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂
    • Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy
    • Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p
