I imagine the 350 will spool nicely lol

Yeah needed the ignitor bolts as the threads for it in the carbon coil cover were a size smaller for some reason. So just ordered some from pro bolt to check them out, good product :)

Will be ordering some new bolts for the spoiler end covers and a few more bits soon. Should look good

O.K so I've done some painting trialing out the colour I'm gonna paint a couple of things

Cam Cover:

Ignitor Bracket:

Think its a pretty good colour, just have to see if the paint sticks alright and finish prepping the rocker covers, should look much better then the ones on there now anyway

looks good Callan, never thought of painting the covers black.

Today was eventful. Tuned a RB25\30 with the GT3076, and Vipec. Fitted the boost solenoid, and configured all of the boost maps. The cool thing - The boost valve that Vipec sell as their own, is exactly the same as the Gizzmo boost control kit that I had in my R33.

Anyway, holds boost perfect, set it to 18psi, and configured all fuel to nice and safe.

Took a while to get the aircon idle settings happy but they are pretty close now. So many things to configure and get balanced out with the idle areas thats for sure. Might trawl a bit of the forum to see how others are having luck with it.

Now we're just waiting for the Digital knock kit to arrive, so we can fit and I can start cranking more timing into it. Also going to set up the knock maps so the ECU can pull some timing if there is any knock detected.

Lastly, there is a very advanced water meth kit being looked at, and then more timing if we get that fitted. I think he's going to wait until after xmas though.

Getting depressed - I need to start get another car and get into my own projects again.

But it was still a good day, its running beautifully and frying tyres easily, even with f**k al timing added. He's very happy.

Its evoke metallic, holden (VE) colour. looks really dark in the shade and sparkley grey in the sun. think it should look good :)

Ignitor bracket fitted. need to order more pretty bolts to:

yeah gonna see about some titanium blue bolts for the covers, but as long as my half moons turn up this week I'll put them on this weekend. Should look the goods.

Will paint the CAS soon, pulled my old one apart the other day, so I know how to do that now. The inner bearing was pretty wrecked, no wonder it was making all that noise lol

    • I've got a 2011 J50 that I imported six years ago. The unmodified factory AV system date and time has always been correct ( Japanese timezone of course ) up until last month. About two weeks ago, at engine start, the system wished me a happy new year ( in Japanese of course ). I can't think of anything that would make the system think that the date had changed, unless the GPS component has failed/reset somehow ? I checked the GPS reception in the system settings, and it can still see the satellites. Has any other J50 owner had this happen ?  It's no biggie, just annoying that it tells me the wrong date anytime I start the engine. 😅
    • Love following your adventures on IG, hopefully if you're still around in Japan when we visit again wouldn't mind going for a few beers with you (that's if you're keen on hearing how I hate Nissans).
    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
