111c wow thats not good at all :S hope you didn't cook anything mate

Drives fine still, averaged 10.8l/1000 from the first tank which included going through some twisty hills

The yellow colour I bought was absynth yellow, not a prefect match but better then what it was (use white primer underneath too, yellow doesn't cover other colours well)

We'll see how it goes today, is gonna be a heap colter today, and less hills now too

she is a lucky girl! 50cm back and she might not have walked away

dibs on the wreck :P

yeh no shit.

if you want the wreck still. let me know.

If its declare written off which it should, I'll find out how much and let you know..

looks good!

Now go get a trans oil cooler to shove somewhere in there!

awww fk...I knew I forgot something...putting that bar on was a bitch and now I gotta do it again!!! GARRR

Booked in to get my EMU installed/tuned in early march...I take it I need a trans cooler before then? :mellow:

Re rims...LOL i've ordered like 3 sets of rims from JP totalling 4k...1 x R34 GTR rims, 1 x XT7 (18 x 9.5 +30), 1 x LE37 (18 x 9.5 +12), and I'm eyeing some Advan TC2's...

*sigh* maybe I should just buy your ARX rims and spend the rest of the $$$ on more power mods :ph34r:

copycat :P

LOL, yeah, well it only made sense since the car had the skirts and rear bar already...

Was tempted to put Kyle's Gialla bar on (think 360 modena!!!) but it looked a little too much...and I was sure I would scratch that bar to buggery in a week!

Would end up looking like the blue car :O:

I was going for the AVS7 look below...but somehow got sidetracked :P

Actually, is the red one below - is that Kenstyle or Impul? I like it...

Is Cihan doing it??

lol i think you'll need alot more before then. I'm sprised you havnt already noticed the need for a trans cooler.

Why have you ordered so many rims ? lol

whats your power goal??

Hi Tom. I saw you on the highway on Sunday, just north of Ballina. That yellow really stands out on the road. I wasn't in the Stagea so you wouldn't have seen me. have a safe trip.

Yep he kinda talked me into it LOL. Nah I told him I'm happy for whatever the stock turbo can max out at 14 psi and my existing mods. Aiming for the 200 mark for now. When the turbo dies then we'll look at a higher number :devil:

Cihan says:

I would say installing the EMU is going to make a big difference in torque and power output regardless of the turbocharger installed, you may be able to enjoy the engine as it is for a long time before you have any need to upgrade the turbo. In my opinion the EMU is a great investment at any stage in the tuning process, so i wouldn't hold back if that's what you want.

So I said aaaah why not...no point waiting and waiting...that EMU has been sitting in the car for a couple of months now!

Oh and the rims...figure I'd try em and see which one I like best/fits best. For the price I got em for I'd be suprised if I don't make a profit selling the unwanted sets.

lol at Cihan. he does good work. hopefully mine will be complete* before the end of this month!

i might want the GTR rims. lol pm me.

*f**k it im still gonna buy things for my stag

thanks mate, its easy to spot

I spotted a bayside blue stag in tamworth as we were driving in.

We've just left dubbo, 400 kms to wagga wagga :-), car is running well too

I doubt you will see 200 without bumping the boost up which will blow the turbo, and you will be limited to 200 anyway by the intake. Still it feels good at that level.

Are you getting injectors?

You will need a valve body upgrade for the auto before the tune.

    • I currently have a 2008 370GT Coupe, with the big brakes (Akebeno if I'm correct), and Its coming time to get new pads. Previously, I had a 2003 350GT Coupe with the stock sized brakes, not Brembos. I had custom wheels on it that were pretty open to the brakes, and when I first put the wheels on it, the rims where completely coated with brake dust. A few years after adding the new rims, I needed to change to pads on that car. I didn't do any research, but I told the mechanic of the problem with the brake dust. I also told him I didn't track the car or even drive around the streets harshley. But the dust was an issue. The mechanics changed the pads to a different compound, and the dust was GONE! The other change I noted was that when coming to a complete stop, instead of having to press harder on the pedal as I approached 0kph, I had to actually lift off a little to not come to a hard jerky stop.( My unfounded explanation is they became stickier as they heated by stopping ) Since I got my 370gt with big brakes, I noticed that that as I came closer to stopping, I had to press harder and harder to reach a full stop. I am not talking about hard, just harder. I brought the car in from another state, so when I had a blue slip done, I asked the mechanic what he thought of the brakes, and he thought they were brilliant. The only negative of these pads on the 350GT, was that they squealed when cold. So driving out of a shopping center carpark, it was a little embarrassing, as the brakes squealed, and I am sure people thought that I needed new brakes, when they were actually fresh. I have no idea of what type of compound they were on the 350gt, but whatever it was, I want to get the exact same on my 370GT. They weren't ridiculously expensive, and were replaced at the local JAX (which is no longer open), so I am certain they would be a pretty common big brand, off the shelf type/brand. My current mechanic suggested I need top get the rear pads changed soonish, but he suggested standard Brembo pads. Which I expect to behave the same as the current ones and not like the ones on the 350GT.  I don't think dust will be an issue on the 370GT. With the behaviour I describe above on the 360GT, does anyone have a suggestion of pad material that will act like the change I had done on the 350GT?
    • The consult isn't even OBD1. It's a Nissan Consult. Proprietary.   Re read everything I've said. I specifically say, put down the laptop/tablet. Understand, and review the issue first. Logging voltages is the same as logging the converted value. Things like O2 that you say to log, is unusable for this, whether it be the voltage, or the value the ECU thinks.   The fact you don't know how to diagnose without looking at the computer, is exactly what I've said multiple times is the issue for why techs these days can't diagnose the fun issues with cars.
    • Breather for it. If it's anything like the GTRs it should run up to the top of a bellhousing bolt.
    • What basics? With these OBD1 ECUs it's not like the ECU will give you any real clues, it's not really doing any sanity checking of sensors/sensor data. My experience is actually a lot of sensors tend to be the source of the issue first and foremost, and checking everything gives you a direction to investigate. MAF/O2/STFT/LTFT should all kind of make sense. You can try little tricks of the trade like tapping the MAFs to see if it triggers a stumble, things like that. But once you've done a compression test knowing whether you have an air leak or fuel delivery problem is kind of hard to narrow down without sensor data. And you don't really know if all your sensors are making sense unless you can interrogate the ECU directly about what it's seeing for sensor data.
    • Absolutely this. Yes, except not vacuum hose. Something oil/fuel safe is a better idea.
