DaymoR32

Originally he charged a fair bit more than $40, and considering the file he used was freely availble on thingiverse i felt it was a bit of a pisstake if im honest!

I drove mine to a car show yesterday whilst screaming at whichever previous owner ripped the A/C out

yeah i average about 10L/100 in my neo swapped 32 too at highway speeds, thats with the odd squirt aswell. when driving around town and a lot of short trips it creeps up a fair bit though 😆

Dose conned me into opening my wallet for some of them SR pads, i can confirm i nearly headbutted the steering wheel when i pressed the brakes for the first time.

boosted international over these parts seems to have most gauges covered, he charges a bit of an extortianate amount but seems to have the market share, (i design and 3d print stuff myself hence my extortianate comment)

Honestly, thats why i was suprised when i saw them!

i've got solid billet engfine mounts in mine, no vibrations at all. i was actually suprised when i saw them with how smooth the car feels.

i enabled it and nothing blew up, it also feels a bit smoother to drive now. i will now buy a dyno and setup a tuning shop

i know nothing about the subject, however wouldn't the mercedes parts probably cost more (due to badge tax) than the equivalent infinity items? surely checking part numbers of both parts will help you answer this?

welcome, make sure you start a project thread! will be good to follow along

haha will do! i need to also get the gear position indicator working again on my IC-7. since updating to nexus firmware on the ECU it just stays on "N". i'll maybe check what the settings where on my ESP backup map and compare to the NSP settings. fingers crossed that works

see this is what i mean by tweaking values. i dont know what im adjusting or how to know when its rich or lean. i really should do one of them HPA academy courses to get my head around it all, as it is interesting to me, i just havent ever read up on it.

Yeah thats the article i read, however points 4 & 5 are leading me to think i have to actually know what im doing and input / tweak some values

Was your car already tuned on transient throttle? Is it as simple as just enabling the map prediction button like it says on this guide? - https://support.haltech.com/portal/en/kb/articles/fuel-film-model-map-prediction Or do i have to input values and stuff? (i'm a complete novice, so if its just clicking a button i might give it a whirl)

yep, they go for silly money now

You'd think with how much artec charge and the fact the turbo blanket is designed around their manifolds that it would all fit together perfectly.

nice, look forward to the update

where are you ordering brand new GTST indicators from? they are discontinued aren't they?

i have everything you mentioned on stock rb25detneo alternator, no issues

Especially if you designed both parts

Thanks, visibility isnt the best, however it was never great anyway as the rear view mirror has a tendency to vibrate in my car and tilt down all the time 😆 Side mirrors still work though, and im barely ever looking behind me!

Not really a huge update but an update none the less! Just been enjoying driving the car a bit more, and going to local shows more often - car stands out like a sore thumb as im usually surrounded by holdens. Bought some bonnet struts and a set of 78 works rear lights. I've ordered a purple yelsha-d cam trigger kit, its delayed as they are waiting on shims. also ordered a clear timing belt cover and a carbon one. gonna see which one i like the best when the trigger kit arrives. Will be messing about with the ECU shortly and updating to the Nexus firmware. hoping i dont f**k anything, just got to rememeber to disconnect coilpack wiring i believe before uploading new firmware. are there any gotchas to look out for when converting from ESP to NSP? i believe the firmware on my 2500 is prettyu old as it was tuned about 4-5 years ago now. Anyway, enough talking and a few photos:-

who did you use? im tempted to get my LM centres chromed

yeah thats pretty cool, i'll look into it!

how come? i like mine, just wish you could mess about with the actual display a bit more, would be good if there was an editor to fully play around with things (like powertune for example)
