Ok.......LOL.......Apparently a turbo is a excellent way to muffle down some cold start noise.

Can we start a sweeps for how long before current exhaust is replaced with full 3" decat, straight piped one to get more out of the turbo setup?

I'm pretty sure the 2.5" decated system will be fine for 190ish kwatw.

Even with the aded weight of the turbo I'll still be under 1300kg, which isn't bad for a daily with all the modern conveniences.

In other news, I WANT MY BOOST NOW, I'm so f**king impatient, waiting a month for it to happen is going to suck.

Good choice. I've got RE003s on my daily's. Probably the best tire (for the money) that I've ever driven on.

I do prefer RS4's (talk about value for money), BUT, whilst RS4's are brilliant in the dry, they are pretty average in the wet.

Compromises were made because street car.

There was a special on at JAX, 4 tyres and a wheel alignment for $550, bargain.

I am sorry but I still cannot believe that an 86 can turn a 235 tyre........

QFT

LOL

Seriously though, the little girl has surprised a few people.

It ain't no rocketship, but, tuned NA it puts out more than a stock turbo S15, it's currently 145kwatw, add some PSI and it will be around 190-200.

Plus at 1250kg, the power to weight ain't really horrible either.

Opinions may vary 

For what its worth, I recently took a little orange Renault Megane 225 to Winton with a tune and similar rubber. I wish I had more tyre and it has the same modest power to weight. Plenty to have fun with. 80+ hot laps in a day also is a breath of fresh air relative to most outings with a broken Nissan. ?


I say continue having fun.

That's the plan

 

Until it breaks...?

Street alignment all dialed in

Front: -1.5°, 0 toe

Rear: -1.0°, 0 toe

Will be going for a squirt up the pass for a pie on Saturday, I'll then take the long way home via Jamberoo, also with a detour past the lighthouse in the Gong, and by lighthouse I mean the icecream van in the carpark near the lighthouse.

In all honesty though, the set up is more about tyre life and daily driving with illusions of performance, more so than actual performance.

19 days to go till tututututu, which, is the main reason why I'm getting a turbo anyway.......

LOL you what?

Knew you couldn't keep it NA.. NA cars are for homos.

LOL, I did inform the boys at Pulse that the more annoying turbo noises the car makes the better.

I'm not sure that 8 psi is actually enough boost to make annoying noises though.

We shall see on Friday I suppose.

f**k I hate waiting.

In other news: if work sends me away before this weekend I'm gonna have a melt down.

Work has a nasty habit of sending me away for months at a time, just when I am getting something done.

It's like they are waiting for me to drop off my car.

Me: "I just dropped my car at the shop"

Work: "Cool, pack your bags, you leave tomorrow"

    • Wish I had this advice when I did my pump. It went in and out 3 or 4 times, and on the last time it snapped.
    • Tried them, they leaked. I also foolishly bought some random rubber ones that leaked too.  Genuine and not looked back.    As always though sample size of one, and I could have made a mistake installing them. 
    • Technically still manual process to set it first time though
    • Shit job but not hard. I'd use a piece of wood to knock the plastic lid open to avoid damaging it, use a vacuum to clean up the fuel sender lid also so crap doesn't fall in. I'd probably do pump and filter at the same time since you're already in there, I reused my OEM sock after a quick clean since the one provided wasn't long enough. Could also hardwire your pump if you feel inclined.
    • Supercheap auto sell this: https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/pat-plusquip-fuel-tank-lock-ring-tool---universal-kit/SPO3564082.html I own this and if you HAVE PATIENCE you can remove it without snapping lines and generally being incredibly angry, then said at doing this job. Sadly I've removed the pump about 75,000 times over the years. I don't know if you're a large lad or a smaller lad but my advice to you as someone who is 185cm is if you are my height or smaller, is to sit in the boot and take your time. Yes you can put the seal on. The seal goes over the white thing/lid (you will see how it 'slots' in) then the whole assembly presses into the tank. then you screw the lock ring on. I spent so much time doing things the wrong way by trying to mount the seal into the tank first, then putting the white fuel hat on in the space provided. Put it together first then it'll all go in. But seriously be careful about removing the hoses AND where the removal tool is moving relative to the plastic pipes coming out of the lid when you've removed it. IT IS BRITTLE So brittle in fact I have two spare lids, and would recommend buying a spare and having it handy before attempting to do this. May as well throw https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD in the tank as well, as this uses all stock plugs and such. You may need to/strongly recommend you re-use your OEM fuel sock or use the one supplied with a length of hose so it sits at the stock height.
