Did you check the muffler bearings? Also, last time i was in your car; there was definitely a loose nut behind the steering wheel...

Haven't updated for a while not that I've really done much to it lately but did take it out to SMSP South Circuit again and managed to knock off another second off my lap time with a 1:08.26.

so general consensus is they both work well, but to optimize the emanage u need something like a nismo ECU................ so either way it doesnt matter what you run.

oh and that Iain is a knob for selling his stagea :P

The stock ecu is fine with the EMU, thats what I run but the speed cut is still there, unless you run the HKS SLD or an aftermarket ecu.

Not sure yet how the Fcon gets around the speed cut MIL and throttle restrictions, the HKS loom has 4 extra wires I cant diagnose which return to normally unused ecu pins. It will obviously be harder to tune though.

And Iain is definitely a knob, even if he kept his Stagea... :nyaanyaa:

+2 On the Iain comments....but we all know that!

And if I had the cash and I didn't already have the Nismo i'd be going with the..............................HKS over the E-manage...there I said it!....I did think about going the HKS and Nismo but it would be pointless and I was lacking in cash...I only need fuel control and the AFM clamped from where I am to make Scott cry!....

Oh the diffs......the fronts come up every now and again....just do your research and you will find a good front 3.538. Then you just need to find a v35 or 350z mt diff.....the whole lot should set you back about 1k.

Ps the pm35 all come with 3.538's

Isn't less vacuum closer to 0 as you move into positive pressure and more vacuum a larger number such as 30 for example?

The one thing I hate with the stock ratio is the slightest throttle touch and its positive pressure even if you dont need. I also hate it when cruIsing at 60 and any speed above, it's very sluggish until the converter unlocks. I usually only want to squeeze the throttle a tad for a slight rise and it does nothing until it unlocks. Do the 3.5 gears help with this at all?

Yeah, around town I always lock the gearbox in 4th, saves kicking down all the time if you actually want forward progress.

Normally don't use auto unless I'm on the motorway.

      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.

      What Music Are You Listening To?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.

      Thinking of getting a Q50 300hp and just tuning it instead of getting the Q50 Red or 400R

      By 180 wanabe · Posted

      Yeah I would like to try and get a ADM car to reduce issues with insurance. I've decided if I end up getting this car I will set it up to be a sleeper build, leave it looking stock/dad spec on the outside I wonder if you can just drop in the 400r/Red/Z ECU or better still use a flashing tool to copy the map off one. Backup the factory map and then flash the 400hp cars onto the 300hp cars ECU?

      Nah, yeah, nah. Speakers have a nominal impedance of 8 ohm that looks more like 6.4 ohm when measured. The receiver's amplifiers (all channels) are all rated to 6 ohm (I think, it's been a long time since I cared). The real problem is that many modern class D amps have aggressive protection circuitry that cuts off the fun if they think too much current is being drawn. And with my speakers having series crossovers, as opposed to more typical parallel crossovers, and big TL enclosures, they can certainly dip down to lower impedances at some frequencies and that easily triggers the protection. Pioneer receivers are somewhat famous for it, but even Denon, Onkyo, et al, all have many complaints against them across various models. It only does it when listening to music at high levels. You have to be putting your ears at risk to do it. But sometimes I want to do that. If I was serious about using it as a listening room I'd simply upgrade the amp for the front pair to a nice Rotel or something, and just use the receiver for signal handling and processing - although that would be a bit of a pain in the arse too. Have to switch on more shit, pre-amp volume vs main amp volume, etc etc.
