even better....dip your bonnet in the front and raze it 4mm in the back and cut out the plastic in the middle of the rear firewall plastic up the top.....hardly noticeable in looks but good for sucking the air in and keeping the bay cool.....only really works while moving though.

or your could organise these bonnets :domokun:

the guy it too busy to even do the Suction pipe of which he has already done the mold!!!pinch.gif........so I am not even bothering to chase for the bonnet!

took my stag to a workshop for a checkup (bought one of those scoopon things and had to use it!)

Told them not to change any fluids. Just a wheel alignment and change the belts because they are squealing in the morning.

When I go pickup the car they said "we couldn't see anything wrong with the belts so we didn't change them. We sprayed some lub on them so they shouldn't squeal"...

I told them that I should've given them instructions from the forums on how to change the belts on our car. He looked kinda offended at that LOL.

Lo and behold - belts still squeal like a bitch this morning.

Guess I need to tighten them? How do you know if they're too tight or too loose?

other things they reported on the car:

Slight free play in steering rack tie rod ends

RHF inner CV Boot is cracked and requires replacing

Power steering rack is weeping oil from pinion seal

I know the CV boot needs to be done at a shop...but are the other two issues DIY'able?

nah I'll just use Viking's guide to change them over myself...hehe

Cam - which brand belts did you use? They didn't look OEM...

prices I got from Nissan was $77 PER belt. Is this reasonable?

77 per belt?

nissan charged me like $50 all up?

I used Gates Racing Micro-V belts (originally wanted the Power Enterprise belts, but they don't make them anymore)

Part numbers are K060465RB and K040372RB.

Got them from the US.

Although they weren't expensive, I am sure you could get the Nissan one's cheaper.

lol

Ebay? or just google for a site?

I found those Gate's belts on Ebay....about $90 for the two belts.

Supercheap seems to stock them too.

Which Nissan u got them off? Dandy?

ferntree gully. i definitely dont remember spending more than 70 for em, but if the gates ones are 90 for both ide get them.. gates products definitely obtain quality

Installed my intake today. 3 separate parts of 3" mandrel bent aluminium joined by silicon (metal nearly touching so no chance of suck- except in the quality of my workmanship, lol)

25% air bypass so AFM doesn't max out :thumbsup:. Injectors maxxed out once on test run :down: .

Gave if a quick road tune. Didn't need too much adjustment which was nice, but I forsee a trip to the dyno in it's future .

    • I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.
    • I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.
    • It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...
    • I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate
    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
