Oh also...

I am the 1st person in history that after not having HICAS for years, loves the feel of it now that i have it. Legit cannot understand why people lock it out, i can understand removing it for the weight, but the car has so much more direction above 80km/h. 

Because it's great when you're driving 7/10 but at the limits (on the track) it's unpredictable and makes the rear end too floaty.
In short great for the street/casual driving.

This ^^

Durign a 7/10ths hill run, I have no issue with it, but it was squirrely as hell when turning into the big left hander at Winton at 150+ Rear end didn't know what it wanted to do. 

In the end I had to just tip it with trail braking in and let the car settle itself before making the change of direction mid corner. 

I should add, I have no major issue with it as it only bothers when driving hard and that's not the norm. 

Track car has no HICAS so happy days.

Picked the car up from the mechanics after a tidy up and a re tune. For now i have dropped E85 back to 98 whilst i wait to re do the fuel system (again), as i don't like the setup i currently have. I want to go a Frenchys Performance in tank kit and really tidy the boot up. Where i live E85 is now more difficult to get as well, so 98 for the next little bit. 

Also went a little more conservative with the tune, dropping the boost a bit. Big thanks to PSracing here in Canberra for the mechanical work, and JEM for the tune. Both Petros (PSRacing) and Adam (JEM) have done an amazing job.

So currently going through replacing the front window trims, managed to get the bottom outside ones brand new relatively cheap... but my god the top ones are eye watering. Might attempt a DIY/find a good set of second hand ones before even considering buying new.

I didn't realise when i ordered them that they come with the felt runners on them. So that actually saved me a heap of f**king around as mine were completely buggered. Now to get the scratches removed from the drivers window!

This weekend ill be attempting to restore the passenger side top weather strip. Hopefully it works, otherwise i'll buy brand new for myself as a christmas present! I have a new contact that can get OEM parts very cheap, which is a nice help!

And 1 side is done. Overall pretty happy. Could have spent more time on it, but I discovered that the rubber had actually sagged, would require bog and a heap of sanding to fix. So I'll just wait until they are make again next year.... Hopefully anyway lol.

The drivers one is heaps worse, so let's see how I go on that side.

So the turbos are going to have to come off again briefly.... 

Dump pipes and front pipes whilst im there? Me thinks. 

Will probably go HPI dumps, jut not sure on the front pipes. Undecided if i go all out Jap stuff @Piggaz hate begins, specifically a TI setup..... OR i go custom made here in Canberra. Though we have no one able to work with TI (to my knowledge, i have called the best shops here) in Canberra, so it would have to be stainless.

The biggest issue i have at the moment is my love for titanium, but i'm also an old man and can't stand loud/droney cars. So that puts exhausts like the Tomei off my list. Leaning towards a fuji Super TI at the moment, as i really can't justify another $2,000 to go a mines exhaust. Eh i dunno. 

Mine is HPI dumps and matching front pipe into custom 3.5" from my fabricator. Not loud or droney at all and flows well enough it seems. 

Send your car to him, I'll make sure he looks after it and even test drive it for you ;)

I just used an Apexi N1 Evolution Rear muffler and a nice big Magnaflow mid-muffler.

Haha how kind of him! 

TBH i quite like the note of my current exhaust, realistically there is no reason to change it at this point. 

I currently have Stock dumps (lol)> Custom front pipes> HKS Super Dragger

Realistically i could Just replace the dumps and be done with it until funds permit a full Ti system....

    • IMG_8641.mov     She doesn’t sound the best but starts with out using any gas now. I just ran some injector cleaner through her. started roughly the first time after adding it but gave it the beans slowly upto 4k, Must have cleaned a few cobwebs out. another step in the right direction for the sub
    • Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in
    • Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.
    • Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.
    • How much does the shifter move when the car is in gear with the engine off? If it is more than about 1cm you need to replace your shifter bush. Your shifts will just get crunchier, not faster, with a short shifter unless you also rebuild the whole box
