Thanks mate, I'm happy. Even on the run in tune the car was brutal, I can't wait to drive it as it is now :)

Edit

Oh, I have babied the box to the nth degree, haven't even launched on it yet. Power has just proved too much, I guess you never know :@

Sorry if I have missed it, what turbo?

I can't remember turbo specs, do you mean front side .63? I'd have to check, but it's normal front and rear housing sizes, 0.63 front, 0.82 rear? Something like that. Am performance exhaust manifold and stock intake Mani.

I bought a second hand one from an S1 ages ago but just never got around to fitting it. Apparently the diaphragm?? in the original one was folded up and wasn't dropping back where it should. So good to get rid of that confounded noise. Andrew @ ASR fitted it, it was pretty simple afaik.

Sealed the paint with some protech paint shield.

Stripped the rear, ready for a big clean and leather/vynal protection. Once the rear is done. I will do the front.

Pulled apart my gtr gauges, cleaned, re sprayed the insides and made the needles red.

Put in a safc neo.

I think I will be spraying the rims duplicolor bronze. I've been procrastinating about it for months though.

Ove the last week I've replaced my timing belt with a gates racing belt (noisy and regretting it), had my rotors machined, bought some qfm hpx pads, installed new radiator, replaced valve cover seals, replaced dump pipe gasket and installed new o2 sensor. I've pulled my front left cv shaft out as well going to take it to be rebuilt Monday and need to adjustable my coilovers.

reinstalled my rebuilt s tune suspension, omg it's great to drive, now to get the rears rebuilt

Nice work mate, was this s tune suspension specifically made for the 260 or was it the 33gtr spec?

I had a strong fuel smell in the cabin and upon checking the engine bay, a hose connected to the fuel rail had decided to sprout a pin sized fuel leak. Lucky I got to it quick, but it was a bastard of a job as there is just nowhere near enough room to fit a thick hose of that length.

Installed daleo intake pipe and front chassis brace today. Thanks #@Daleo for working on the car and getting it all sorted. Now just to line up jetwreck and DVS JEZ so we can get the adaptronic ECU and injectors etc installed and we will be all systems go. But loving the changes todays work made.

    • Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.
    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
    • Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
    • If that was the case I suppose you could call it "Mein's" brand....  ... I'll see myself out... 😅
