Sound deaden your boot panels / number plates to stop vibrations and panel flex. Also should do your doors too.

Look up products like Dynamat, G-Spot Serenity, etc.

//Edit: Read this link from FHRXStudios about deadening.

Its a bit messy, well a lot messy, but I like to use underbody tar, costs less than $20 for a litre tin and you can just smear it on all over the inside of your doors, works a treat. Grab some rubber gloves and tape some plastic bags up the length of your arms, if it gets on your skin its a bastard getting it off. I would still grab some matting for the boot tho just for asthetics sake...

Dynamat Extreme is awsome stuff. i really recommend it, although it isnt cheap. i put almost a total boot kit on the VS (it is a commodore, theyre designed to vibrate to bits :() and a wedge back on the boot. it sounds a million times better and hardly any rattles except for the outside door handle :)

Turn the music down... no just kidding...

Yeah sound deadening works a little bit, but its normally connections that will cause the problems...

the number plate, sections where a body kit touches other pannels... all those sorts of this... You can get a foam which is kinda like shaving cream with a nozzle like on WD40 and other degreasers to get into sections like that, and it goes stiff and can reduce some rattles... But I would only do this if you dont ever plan on removing any of those sections later...

      Not that I know from experience, but in theory you'd want your gate spring to be as close to target pressure as possible, so you'd go with the higher gate spring?

      Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.

      Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you?

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.

      Infiniti Q60 Navigation Update

      By Chocolate Cheesecake. · Posted

      Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
