Fuel pump I installed previously was too big for the tank. Shaved off some of the some of the plastic teeth so itll fit in but it was touching the tank n due to vibrations it hums really loud.

So asking them to take it out and shave it off completely and ditch the rubber piece and use a vice to clamp it all together.

Or just f**king get rid of the humming lol

This job just got a lot more complicated. Turns out previous owner put a gtr fuel pump in the car, which is a lot larger and to fit it they removed the sender. So now Mark has to remove the pump and put a walbro pump in to fit the sender, the bill is roughly ~$500 now.

The plus side of this is I can run bigger injectors and higher boost down the line.

FYP

Bigger exhaust or stereo will also fix the humming

My stereo is mighty loud, exhaust is loud enough for me too....stupid pump is making me think I need a louder exhaust now....but less than $50 vs $2k.....I'd rather choose the $50 option...

Been seeing a few GTT 34 around my area lately....still really want one T_T.....ageing car though

Ok got Tue car back. Mark from C-red is such a top bloke. We sat down and discussed the car for 30mins going over everything, he estimates 6-8k worth of work already done to the motor. We discussed where to go next and budgets too. very good and friendly service. They out a walbro 400 in and charges for a 202?, as that's all he could get his hands on.

Splitfires, Custom Piping, Oil Filter relocation, Re-build, Candy Apple Red Spray job ;) and some other things I can't remember.

Edit: Memory kicked in - Front Mount intercooler and a bleed valve as well. (theres a couple things he noticed which I did not and I can't remember them)

Morning all

Im using the sau app and i like it easy to use, user friendly but i find when i use the http: of sau on laptop it still has more features like if you make a topic it say how many views i get im thinking about taptalk only coz if i wanted to look at antilag.com and other forums that what they want you to use.

Whats your feed back worth trying?

    • I would try messing with friction modifier to see if it smooths it out.  Just keep adding more until it stops chattering or grabbing quite so much. If you haven't changed the gear oil in a long time you may as well start there too in case that has anything to do with it. You might want to also verify the initial torque is set to the lowest setting too. Requires popping out one of the CV axles first but that's not too bad. Once you're sure the preload is set to the lowest you can try adding an ounce at a time of friction modifier until it feels right to you.
    • It is possibly 55 degrees for the Nismo version. I had a look through the manual and the stocker has a breakaway torque of 2.5 to 3.5kgm. Supposedly the Nismo LSD goes down to 5kgm when worn in but it is pretty grabby even with very little throttle. Worse when cold. So I guess you have three things. 1. Shims. 2 Friction plates 3. Cams Would think shims would be the easiest but Ive no clue how many tenths of a mm shim thickness change equals how many kgm torque. Also not sure if the Nismo friction plates are similar/different to stock or if they are the most of the source of the diff being angry. Think I can write off the Nismo rebuild kit for the standard diff as not being what I want.  
    • Yeah, it was a bit of confusion with me, I rang and asked if they had a boot for a soft top, and then the paint shop when they rang and were asked if it had a hard top on it, which it does, just not a PRHT....LOL Meh, whilst frustrating for all concerned it isn't a war stopper and should be a thing of the past in a week or two In other N/A related news, car is booked in at the end of the month for the cams, springs, retainers, harmonic balancer and retune  I might even pull the lazy arse card and get them to do a full service on it whilst it is there
    • Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.
    • Oh man, at least it sounds they've accepted they stuffed up and not put it back on you...could see some confusion if they asked if it had a hardtop or not, and you've answered truthfully but maybe not answering their real question which is what roof did it have from the factory! Glad your keeping it N/A 2.5
