Changed SkyWagz' Diff Oil. The old was OLD! and definately a little low.

Nulon SAE 90 took it's place. (glad I bought a 4L bottle when I did the 33) :)

I wonder if the diff will whine a little less now? I'll let you know. ;)

Spent alot of time (Fiddly F**ker!!!) replacing upper and lower trailing arm bushes on the Wagz today.

Old ones were fairly goosed so Nolathane went in.

Was going to do the Panhard rod bushes too but meh... I'm over it. Another day.

Feels alot more solid and steady in the rear and yes the Diff Whine is still there but definitely better since the oil change yesterday.

Guess the new bushes may not help with the whine though. :rolleyes:

Rob,

Squirt in 60-80 mls of Pro-ma. Must be someone in CBR sells it.

magic stuff (unless it's a LSD then not a good idea)

This stuff? --->> http://www.fueloiltreatments.com.au/technical/MBL8_oil_additive.html

Sounds pretty good. Thanks Scott. :thumbsup:

I may try some Nulon G70 --->> http://www.nulon.com.au/products/Specialty_Products/Manual_Gearbox_and_Diff_Treatment/#.U28voIGSyuk

but The Nulon oil I've put in is definitely an improvement. It actually sounded a little bit better again today.

I put nulon g70 in my transmission a little while ago and it definitely reduced some of the cold 2nd gear crunch.

Realised after putting it in that I'd only put in half the amount I was supposed too as well. I presume it would only be better with the correct ratio

I got that result ^^^ in the 33 just by putting in Nulon Gbox oil.

Haven't tried the G70 in the 33 Gbox or Diff yet.

Today I resoldered a dodge connection on the Drivers Front Speaker in the Wagz and put the charger on the 33's battery for some love.

Pulled the Whole Steering column out of the Wagz today and replaced the old Bushing with a Fresh SuperPro Bush.

Steering is much more direct. :thumbsup:

Found where the Immobiliser unit is hidden, tightened up the accelerator pedal bracket as it was quite loose and took some Slack out of the cable with a couple of Zip Ties. :)

Also hit the Grey Interior Rearview mirror with some Black as I did on the 33.

Much Nicer.

    • Appreciate the feedback. It is street car, but not a daily. Last week I got a quote from a good exhaust shop for a decat, one which is bolt-on, bolt-off to be easily replaceable. I got quoted for around €150. I usually do push the motor, but I wasn't in this case to make sure that no damage is done until I get the cat sorted. I think it's best to also ask the exhaust shop for the other option and see what they can do. If (big if) I were to decat though, would it be best to tune the car or would the stock ECU handle it? As far as I know, the stock ECU is not tunable and that would require additional purchases.
    • As above, definitely bash it or get it replaced with a high flow unit.
    • get some flares on them, or wider guards haha
    • Another question sorry, what stainless do u use in the turbo external WG plumb back piping? Is it 321, 316 or 304?
    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
