What Have You Done To Your Stagea Lately?

???? Never touched an engine ??? Any tuner worth there salt will be able to tune , it's a base set or rules ! Or are our vq's that temperamental? It's not like having an 800+rwkw car with a stand alone ecu that you would want tuned by a specialist ie.. Like a vl and breschani. It's a piggy back comp and a tune,

I'm just surprised that's all not waning to put any ones nose out of joint

It has taken Cihan 40 or 50 tunes to work out how to setup the EMU properly. This isn't a Nistuned RB we are talking about. There have only been 10 or 12 VQ25det's tuned in Aus so far.

See your own Sig. :P

yeah, its a bit tricky to get a Ecu that adjusts so many parameters to work efficiently with such a shitty tuning tool that is EManage.

On Friday I borrowed a mates patrol (which is so much fun to drive), collected a car trailer and towed my S1 up to the Transmission shop. 45 minutes after leaving he called me to tell me that there was bits of clutch and metal in the sump and would be taking the gearbox out today for inspection and stripping it down..

at 2pm I get a phone call saying that IIRC the 3rd and 4th clutch packs have blown, snapped band, worn solenoid and wobbly bearings.

seems when I bought the car it all felt lovely and nice but I now suspect that the fresh fluid in the gearbox was a quick fix to keep it running and able to sell it..

but never mind, the car should be back before the weekend and will have all new clutches, bands, a shift kit and recon'd torque converter :)

Sorting threw the " will haves " "mine will do's "

"im gonna make 6000hp's" not to forget the "were happy to try tune your setup to host xyz mods" cowboy tuners/mechanics. Could require much

MOre than time to waist not to mention throw away $$$...

So it seemed simple clear and logical to me.

Scott from day 1 has had outstanding customer service a real encyclopaedia of knowledge based on nm35 vq25det alone.

Help , information costs money 9 x out of 10 scotts certainly spoken fact from fiction every time even when ones ideas float all over the place.

Conclusion...

Drive to vic & back easy

some folk cruise that distance over a weekend with there hand grenade half assed tuned pride and joy

Ill support the bloke that will enjoy getting the best out of someone elses ride.

Cheers bloke

Yeah I totally agree there are a lot of cowboys and shit tuners, out there, there are also are some guys who give a shit still, and there are a lot of ppl who do the "mine will make and mine will do this". That's why I only post up figs that have achieved, and realistic ones not ones that are made then engine goes bang, but ones that are driven on all the time, ... No grenade tunes here.

Also I understand the limited capabilities of the emanage ultimate I ran and played around tuning one on my c34 definitely not the best thing I've used hence whilst in in the shed as a paper weight.

Also leaves a dilemma for me as if I deem the m35 worth while of power modification I would be taking a different root than normal requiring a good tuneable Ecu ,and a fair bit of custom work but hey that's what I love doing .

1) Purchased a set of factory hids and installed them with 8000k bulbs which are too dim for me so I purchased another set of 4300k and will install them once they arrive.

2) Replaced the driverside headlight tilt motor. Just have to fine tune it tonight when its a bit darker.

3) Installed the aftermarket afm I bought from scotty to trial (oem still good)

4) Replaced the coilpack tube that was found to have a hole in it.

Took car for a test drive with new afm and she dont like it. On full boost there is a rev cut/dip with it unlike the oem one. I will put the oem one back in tomorrow and see if it goes away.

They do seem to run a little richer on boost than OEM, I suspect they have a slightly different airflow/Voltage curve. Only the modified cars seem to display the rich running, at least it's better than lean mixtures I guess. Did you reset the ecu before fitting it Josh?

The problem is the 'replacement' Nissan AFM's run much the same as these, and only last a short time in comparison, (something gets damaged inside at full noise for some reason.) I have yet to hear of a failure from these aftermarket afm's, and the price is much more reasonable.

Gives you a good reason to tune the car Josh. :P

    • I'll snap up some photos when I'm back home, in the office today meeting my "in the office" quota. Have 2x Teams calls scheduled in, office culture they reckon.   I've never owned a proper off the shelf sub, I've always made or modified broken ones with Jaycar plate amps and/or car subwoofer drivers. The current (and broken) subwoofer has a proper home driver in it, Dayton driver, thos one https://www.daytonaudio.com/product/118/rss265hf-4-10-reference-hf-subwoofer-4-ohm FS of 25Hz, which is low but not low enough. Yeah, I think they were brought out to the market to compete with SVS. I would love a SVS PB-3000 but they're not cheap, especially after their price hike. From reviews online, it does look like the Tonewinner D6000 would destroy and with good amount of money saved too.
    • yeah, that happens too.  I'm really enjoying 4WDing at the moment, seen a few beautiful spots and want to go explore more of this enormous country.  The 370Z got a clutch LSD in it and a track day, great fun.  Getting the back end sorted out really rejuvenated my enthusiasm for driving it hard, the viscous one is poo especially in such a short and wide chassis.  The VLSD unpredictability was more benign in a long and skinny Skyline.
    • With my pre/power I use a remote trigger cable(3.5mm jack each end). I turn tv on, it turns both on via ARC. Or, just the pre with the remote or its streaming software, turns on both. Not that difficult at all. Obviously,  you would also want to actually update/upgrade over other factors in your life(bills, family, other hobbies, etc)
    • Yeah, nightfall was very "meh". And I'm crap at pvp, so feels like everyone has cheats(it's just my lack of skill). Final shape has been pretty good. New raid and dungeon are pretty good. If you want to give it a go, probably wait until it's on sale. But, as usual, most of it feels very familiar. 
    • This morning was Kingswood's Microscopic Wars. It is the album's 10 year anniversary this year and we went to see them play the whole album as a special show a couple of months back. Was pretty spectacular.
