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?

    • Not R7R. Meant to type R&R, obviously enough.
    • Bugger "making it look stock". I put one conventional internally fused Hella relay behind each globe. I just pulled the plugs off the back of the globes and built new loom segments with male and female plug parts to match up to the original loom and the globe, and used the original power wires to each globe coming from the switch through the original loom plug to trigger the relays. Ran a big fat (also separately fused) power wire across the front of the car to feed all the relays. It's as ugly as f**k, but it is wedged down between the headlight and battery on the RHS and the airbox and headlight on the LHS, and no-one ever looks in my engine bay, and on the odd occasion that they do I simply give no f**ks for what they think. Fully reversible - not that you'd ever want to. For f**k's sake. It's a Skyline. They made million of the bloody things. We've been crashing them into roadside furniture for 30 years now. There is a negative side effect to putting relays on the headlights. The coil current is too little to properly clean the contacts in the switches and they get blacked up and you have to open them up every couple of years and clean them manually. I have 25 years of experience on this point.
    • I was poking through the R34 wiring diagrams vs R33 and noticed that the R34 has proper headlight relays while the R33 is like the R32 and sends full headlight power through the headlight switch. I'm not afraid of wiring but I really would like to do this in a way that looks OEM (clipping into open positions on the OEM relay box) and also unlike the factory wiring which interlocks the high beam and low beam on the halogen series 1 GTR headlights I want to make it such that turning on the high beams keeps the low beams on as well. Any advice on how to locate the specific connectors + crimp terminals + relays I need? I was thinking one NO relay for low beams and another for combined high + low running off the factory high beam headlight connector. I don't really want to splice into a crusty old probably discontinued factory harness so fully reversible is my goal here.
    • Pretty sure they run the same engine as the Q50 hybrid which specifies 95 RON.  I ran 98 in mine for a while, but it made no difference in performance or economy, so I have been using 95 for the last few years.  I have never hit 6.0L/100km, but have returned mid to high 6 on the highway.  Being a hybrid, fuel economy is a lot more dependant on how you drive it.  At 110km/h, mine never goes into EV mode on the highway, so returns closer to 7.5L/100. urban driving can return low 8s if you are careful or over 10 if you are a bit more enthusiastic on the throttle.
    • About a quarter of what you want to do. It's only R7R, not R&dismantle&replaceparts&reassemble&R. ? It is stock. I already told you, you will NOT have broken those. It's f**king 4th gear for Christ's sake. You just chipped the teeth off.
