Hey Dale, thanks for the suggestions on extras. Have you posted a pic of your custom mount / air duct? I would like to see what you've come up with.

I think method 2 is the way to go and your reason above makes a lot of sense. Previously I was only considering implications when cold, but of course it is more important to consider what happens when hot since that is the most common state.

Just went out & pulled my grille out; the things I do...whistling.gif

Hope that explains it.

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.

Well, that was unexpected... I thought you might have had some pics stored away. Thanks for doing that specially for me (us?).:thumbsup:

Setup looks good. I'll store these away for when I do mine.

judging by the pic, it looks like you could fit it in the same spot with the HDI..

confirm?? looks like a good setup Daleo

Yep, it all sits forward of the back edge of the bar reo; so no clearance issues.thumbsup.gif

What did you buy, did you get them from the link above? If so you will need the nuts to suit as they are 1.5mm pitch.

The stock studs are M10x1.5 into the turbo and M10x1.25 for the dump side with the nut.

Did he give a reason? I have had no problems with the stainless studs and copper nuts. Much better than reusing the old nuts imo.

+9..

im using them and no issues.. and looks much cleaner too as the studs are shorter.

Most mechanics shy away from stainless due to the galling and binding issues you get with unlubricated threads and stainless or high tensile nuts.

They also have this odd idea that stainless goes brittle when used on exhausts(which is odd; cos they're happy to fit a stainless manifold or dump pipe); which is also a furphy.

Obviously not an issue when using copper nuts...

      Calling all audiophiles

      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.
