Fark that
 
We have our own restaurant now at the bell tower. Colin said we all get lifetime 1/2 price meals and free drinks :408_beers:

Menu looks pretty delicious and reasonably priced for skylines in the city? Ferris buleah and Carrie Bradshaw can't come. But I'm all for Samantha, Charlotte, Miranda and Mr big. They didn't crash their dad's Ferrari?

why is it apart?

Just tidying up a few things. Pulled the intercooler flushed and cleaned. Pulled all the pipe work and swaged all the piping. It had poxy welds on it for the hose clamps. went over the Ali welds and s/s welds on the boost and intake side re-welded and pressure tested because it was messy welding. The exhaust leak on the cat flanges was because the ceramic substrate had come loose and was rattling. (like you said for lifter rattle/check for exhaust leak) redone all the tubing got a new viscous coupling and fan coming (Nissan oem) because the fan had some cracking. all new clamps from work and get rid of the black silicone hoses and replace with all Blue silicone to match the engine bay. I had re-worked the tubes before but still had clashing issues but done properly now. New tomei shifter to replace gay sparco one and venom 100cell cat with 3" in/out and 5" metal substrate to replace the ceramic. I've put new coil packs in aswell and iridium plugs gapped to 0.8. Just done a oil change plus gearbox and diff oil l.s.d. Paste not long ago. Wouldn't mid a tune to see how it's running. Probably won't make much difference to power as is running pretty sweet.

General house keeping. My ideas about welding and mechanical fitting are obviously different to the previous owner's. No biggies.

Just a refit on some stuff that was pissing me off everytime I opened the hood. Got a Cusco rear brace on the way to match the front and will get rid of the poxy 12" sub taking up the boot space and replace with a piano hinge properly fitting to swing up and down for battery and amp spare wheel access etc. Etc.

Had the car off the road for a bit when I bought it and just tidied stuff up. Not a daily so will do stuff a bit better with some cash and time up my sleeve?

You know Trev R&D. Double door combustion engine:-)

Replaced the cords on 2 roller shutters on the w/end and have 3 new weather proof fluros coming for the patio and car port this w/end. Re done all my home tools last w/end and make up 3 new tool boxes one for mechanical one for electrical and one for marking and measuring. Been in the office at work so canning the weekends!

awesome sauce!!

 

fyi next time just get BCPR6ES or 7's instead of iridium plugs.. spend the spare cash on beer

Or bourbon or whiskey:-) I replaced all the valley cover bolts (it only had 2 in it) with 5mm s/s Allen heads with anti seize and s/s flat washers when I done the coil packs and tarted up the wiring so thought it would save me from pulling and checking it for a while.

I don't run the valley cover, then I can change plugs without removing pipe work.

    • It will sound tragic and you wished you didn't have 1x exhaust per turbo. There's a reason why most S55 owners change to a single mid pipe.
    • Echo the comments about the well preserved condition it's in. It has the aero bumper too for extra points. Nice car, and please keep it like that! 🙂
    • 1. There are no real performance benefits. It sounds different, and as the pipes are not as large diameter you can claw back some undercar clearance or run lower (if that's your thing). 2. Twin pipes, offering exactly the same cross sectional area as a single pipe** will have higher pressure drop - so will not flow as well. That's because there is more surface area of wall per cross sectional pipe area, hence more frictional losses. ** But of course, it is almost impossible to get 2 pipes that are exactly the same XS area as a given typical single pipe. eg, 2x2" is not the same as 1x 3", although it is close. If the 2x pipes add up to less XS area than the single - it will just be flat out worse. If the 2x pipes add up to a bit more than the single, then it might come out as a wash. If the 2x pipes are substantially more XS area than the single, then it will probably flow a little better. 3. No. Why would there be? What have cats got to do with boost creep?*** ***But for f**ks' sake, please run a cat. 4. If you want.
    • UPDATE: was able to have the bracket repaired and base repaired, seat is like new now ;)
    • I was going to say it looks right out of Gran Turismo photoshoot when you just buy the car. (in a good way)
