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?

    • 95 is just a scam outright. 98 is the real "premium" with all the best detergents and other additive packages, and at least historically, used to be more dense also. 95 is just 91 bargain basement shit with a little extra octane rating. Of course, there's 91 and there's 91 also. I always (back in the 90s early 2000s) refused to put fuel in from supermarket related fuel chains on the basis that it was nasty half arsed shit imported from Indonesia. Nowadays, I suspect that there is little difference between the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the "bargain" chains and the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the big brands, given that most of it is coming from the same SEAsian refineries. Anyway - if there's still anything to that logic, then it would apply to 95 also. 98 is only made in decent refineries and, as I said, is usually the "premium" fuel, both in terms of octane rating and "use this because it's good for your engine because it's got the unicorn jizz in it!".
    • Yeah since those first 2 replies I actually went and put some 98 in it and tbf it's already doing much better than the 95 (which is weird and makes my inner tinfoil hat wearer think the 95 was a crap batch), getting 8ish around town. Again, wonder if it takes a while to stabilize if the fuel is changed a couple of times. I swear cars used to just either run "well" or "s**t* in my 20s, none of this fuel optimisation business haha 
    • Any number of different ways. Have the coils draw sufficient current to provide contact wetting. Use different contacts in the switch, either by material or design, better suited to the low current drawn by a relay coil. Etc.
    • Hmm, how does the R34 manage to have headlight relays then without getting excessive carbon buildup on the headlight switch contacts?
    • Not R7R. Meant to type R&R, obviously enough.
