Hey guys so update time. nothing too crazy has happend really since last time. nothing like some of the builds on here with crazy engine builds ect.

But anywho heres what i have done/had done.

So ive been wanting to upgrade the alarm system for a while now. and thaught id Opt for the Steel Mate remote start system. so i purchased one and it got shipped to my door 2 days later from sydney. great service.

Heres a quick video showing the remote start.

and i had to take a quick snap leaving ti at my Auto Elecs house :)

Next on the list was i wanted to Up my Boost a little bit so ive purchased a twins tage turbosmart boost controller for only $20 of my mate.

But i didnt want to do this without a boost gauge so i knew exactly what Boost i had. (Not going over 14psi)

So this also arrive in the mail 2 weeks later. its a Race Tech brand boost guage.

So nothing too crazy has happend lately with my GTR. except chasing down parts to restore it back to its former glory..

First of all was starting to get a bad miss under heavy load/boost operation. already had cleaned afms. put enw spark plugs in and thaught i would take the plunge to go new coilpacks. as i Went OEM with my GTST i thaught fu#k it im goign with splitfires this time.

So order set out. also orderd a ECU water temp sensor.

1 week later from kudos here they came.

The water temp sensor has seemed to help out alot with my cold start issues but still im in need of slightly tapping the throttle to get her going. so the IAC valve si on the list of things to clean/inspect maybe replace next if i have to.

Bad photo but you get the point splitfires are in :D

And then on the list was time to finally get rid of those crappy rims. that are 9.5 on teh rear with 8.5 on the fronts that had shitty 235 tyres on them.

I have always Loved and dreamed since owning my GTR of buying some Work Meister S1 3P rims. but the price is just not in my region atm when i have more important thigns to fix. so a good quality copy is in order.

Opinions. i know ive asked this color or color match silver the front lip. btu now. cause i have glossy wheels i feel the lip should be glossed up too. to make it more even. thaughts?

20150905_111018_zpsnbvxxjyv.jpg

My new 18x10 +15s allowed em to now run some much better and grippy tyres.
some achillies 265/35 18s

and 1 last shot haha. the car really needs a good polish up. and clean up. want to polish up the kakimoto cannon.

but all in due time :D

next on the list is restoring back to the factory brembos with some nice upgraded discs and pads :D

20150905_115650_zpshltenexz.jpg

Brembos will be painted r34 gold. if i dont purchase r34 brembos.

Thanks every. thaughts and opinions are always welcome :D

      Car Rotisserie

      By Shoota_77 · Posted

      Hi guys, has anyone either purchased or built themselves a rotisserie for their car before? I can only just justify the need for one hence why I should just make one but at the same time, if I make one I can kiss another 4 weeks of potentially productive car working time goodbye because I'm building a bloody rotisserie....  I mainly want it for the application of the body deadener.  Cleaning the old stuff off, priming and then colour over the deadener doesn't worry me, it's just the application using the Schutz Gun that I feel would achieve a significantly better finish painting it side on and keeping the Schutz Gun upright.  I don't think they would work well on the side let alone almost upside down for some areas.  If the product I use (Terosun, etc) could work through a HVLP ok then it might be ok to apply without the rotisserie.   I can get one of these style ones for about $1200 which is pretty good value-     I reckon if I made one it would cost around $500 but it's more the time that it would take is more of a killer than the cost.  They look to hold their value pretty well second hand so I could always sell it after using it and realistically only lose $200-$300 at worst.  Or keep it and buy another project when this one finally sees the light of day... Anyone selling one...? Cheers!

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      While it is a very nice idea to put card style AFMs into the charge pipe (post intercooler, obviously), the position of the AFM and the recirc valve relative to each other starts to become something that you really have to consider. The situation: The stock AFM is located upstream the turbo, and the recirc valve return is located between the AFM and the turbo inlet, aimed at the turbo inlet, so that it flows away from and not through the AFM. Thus, once metered air is not metered again, neither flowing forwards, or backwards, when vented out of the charge pipe. When you put the AFM between the turbo outlet and the TB, there is a volume of pressurised charge pipe upstream of the AFM and there is a volume of pressurised pipe downstream of the AFM. When the recirc valve opens and vents the charge pipe, air is going to flow from both ends of the charge pipe towards the recirc valve. If the recirc valve is in the stock location, then the section between it and the TB doesn't really matter here - you're not going to try to put the AFM in that piece of pipe. But the AFM will likely be somewhere between the intercooler and the recirc valve, So the entire charge pipe volume from that position (upstream of the AFM, back through the intercooler, to the turbo outlet) is going to flow through the AFM, get registered as combustion air, cause the ECU to fuel for it, but get dumped out of the recirc valve and you will end up with a typical BOV related rich spike. So ideally you want to put the AFM as close to the TB as possible (so, just upstream of the crossover pipe, assuming that the stock crossover is still in use, or, just before the TB if an FFP is being used) and locate the recirc valve at the turbo outlet. Recirc valve at the turbo outlet is the new normal for things like EFRs anyway. In the even of a recirc valve opening dumping all the air in the charge pipe, pretty much all of it is going to go backwards, from the TB to the recirc valve near the turbo outlet. But only a small portion of it (that between the TB and the AFM) will pass through the AFM, and it will pass through going backwards. The card style AFMs are somewhat more immune to reading flow that passes through them in reverse than older AFMs are, so you should absolutely minimise the rich pulse behaviour associated with the unavoidable outcome of having both a recirc valve and an AFM in the charge pipe.

      Yep, in my case as soon as I started hearing weird noises I backed off the tension until it sounded normal again. Delicate balance between enough tension to avoid that cold start slip and too much damaging things.

      I'm almost at a point where I feel like changing the alternator. Need to check the stuff you mentioned first though.
