Any updates ??

Nothing yet, not sure what to expect ?

I have asked to have the cam advanced for response without worrying about what it does to the top end.

It was suggested that with my set up , it would tune close to what I want on E85 but unfortunately that would only be used when available and that would not be too often. I want it to be as good as he can get it on 98 pump?

So I will wait and see how it turns out :/

V-Cam ?

Does it ever end when you chase a dream :no::yes::no: ?????

Mercedes are so over rated, my oldman has had E and C class... the amount of times they've been in for repairs :rolleyes: he's going back to Jap built cars, the last straw was when the sunroof dislodged the whole roof limning assembly on the C230, just out of warranty too. Some of thier engines are nice but as whole they're not as good as they once were.

This is where you're a bit wrong. It should read 'they weren't as good as they used to be but they've rediscovered themselves and are now awesome again. Your old man has an old model car. C230's were a fair while ago. I'm massively biased (I'm sales manager for an MB dealership) but the current product is incredible. We've got the new model C63S sitting on the showroom at the moment and it's a work of art! The twin turbos sit in the Vee of the engine and looks amazing. Everyone needs to do themselves a favour and go into a dealership just to hear one start up and rev. They have a bi-modal button that when you press turns a great sound into a sound you would happily donate your left testicle for. Seriously!

You forgot to mention how the early C63s head studs corrode and they loose coolant, and eventually do the headgaskets.

Only took 3 years for them to rectify that one...

On a serious note, yeah, they are cool cars. I thourghly enjoyed monstering a CLA45 on the track. In a straight line those little turbos are mighty impressive.

Ha ha, yeah I'm not going to say the current fleet are perfect until they prove themselves but compared to the 80's, 90's and up till 2013ish models, they are a huge leap forward in terms of styling, build quality and handling.

Our DP got to attend the AMG GT and C63S launch at Bathurst 2 weeks ago. He's not a car nut but he was amazed. Flogging AMGs at 270km/hr down Conrod straight is enough to convert any non car lover!

    • Which manifold mate? Meanwhile......Mark is wondering how bonnet vents would look on the NC 🤣
    • Actually,  just remembered there should be info in the threads (somewhere) about swapping to a manual steering rack and deleting power steering all together. 
    • Also had a look at the Nissan JP website looks like the 400r has a slightly shorter ratio than than the regular V37 3.133 VS 2.937 which from a guy who has driven both 3.69 vs 4.11 ratios in the S15 is bugger all. Seems that the AUTO Z runs the same ratio as the 400R but can't find any info as to if its an open or LSD? More often than not the auto LSD is open
    • Do not replace the power steering lines with this stuff. If it's anything like the Chase Bays stuff it will leak and be worse than stock. The reason why the reservoir is on the LH/passenger side of the car is because that's just where the reservoir was most convenient to fit. Don't overthink this stuff. The intake/cold side of the engine is pretty busy on these cars. And again, the hardpipe is designed to be a janky power steering cooler. In theory you can replace it with a real power steering cooler but that's really only for track use where boiling the fluid is a distinct possibility. Start with the low pressure lines feeding the pump from the reservoir. Make sure there isn't a bunch of junk in the reservoir filter. Be careful to not get ATF all over the engine bay. I hate dealing with ATF spills, you can clean it up and the slightest crevice will still release more oil that can still drip over time. You also want to inspect for leaks before you make a mess and can't tell what happened. Most likely you have a leak somewhere that is allowing fluid out and air in. Failing that it's allowing air in but not fluid out. Only place I can really see that happening is on the low pressure side because the pump will pull a slight vacuum to draw fluid in. Everything after the pump is high pressure or lower pressure, approaching atmospheric by the time it returns to the reservoir.
    • I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂
