The satin finish on the lip looks great!

I've plastidipped the chromed plated grille on my NM35, and the finish has stood up far better than I ever expected.
It gets loads of freeway kilometres, and hasn't got a single mark or stonechip in over 6 months.

done f**k all on the car apart from driving it and being on holidays,
however the new leather boots finally arrived.

old ones were shagged out and even they were aftermarket.

found out, not surprisingly that almost all of the clips have broken underneath which hold the boot on

need to track down one which hasnt been broken...... bet thats not gonna be easy.

pmed :cheers:

clutch pedal started squeaking recently, wasnt the clutch pedal bracket so checked out the gearbox side and found out there is no rubber boot on the clutch fork pivot bit.

sprayed some lube on it and it has hushed down, but where would i get a rubber boot from, looks like i can just get it on over the clutch fork without taking much apart but can you get them new anywhere?

still been doing f**k all apart from doing the daily shit.


did however pop down to see Paul Pavlou motors who were nice enough to find a spot of free time and popped her on the Dyno to get a base power read out.
took the opportunity to bump the boost up till the engine was happy.

to be honest i was quite surprised at the power out put but more importantly the torque output! made bucket loads. and it feels like it too. pulls like a motherf**ker for a stock car.

10psi base run - 14 psi final run.

used a GFB bleed valve for now which holds the boost well, no drop or spike.

now i havn't tuned anything just bumped the boost up keeping an eye on the AFR which stayed happy, nice and safe.

Took it on the adelaide four six rotary cruse last night through the hills which gave me a good change to test it out properly and she pulls along nicely. also it shoots flames occasionally.... so the car behind me said :P

makes me want to get a haltech in there...

also it turns out the red reverse light was some super hard to get off (and quite good quality) layover wrap stuff. so thats coming off.

Should i do the water pump as well?
yeah lets do the water pump too...

should i get an N! pump while im there? i think there just a better impeller blade design yeah? not like the n1 thermostat which f**ks with street driven cars?

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
