nah sam, 1st time there if i remember correctly. something to do with the fact that since his ebc wasnt working properly the was allowed to drive off without paying a cent but will pay full amount when he get a tune with a working ebc. wierd.

nah, its still here. i cant get the work done until i can borrow my sisters car. shes on holidays atm. so once shes back at uni, i'll drop the skyline off and borrow her pulsar.

are you still in the process of gathering parts?

i drove it a few times. Gearbox is very funny in terms of shifting to say the least. But it has tidal waves of torque compared to the line. s2000 is a different story - it has an awesome gearbox. Shifting is go slick and fun in that car.

Bachelor of IT.

I'm in my 3rd year so yer exams suck. :(

Especially J2EE - Internet Computing.

I'm a fiddler. I only 'try' to improve upon the current cheap $100 tune I had.

I found that when changing gear or simply flattening it the map trace was dipping to load point 20 then once accelerating settling on load point 19 through the rev range.

This load 20 point was running ever so slightly too much timing as it was causing highish knock readings.

I reduced load point 20 by one degree and left load point 18-19 the way it was and knock went from 35 down to 17.

So.. I dialed in another degree in to load points 18-19 and found knock didn't rise.

That 1 degree makes it feel more lively, but only makes throttle control that little bit harder in second.

Basically through the mid range its now running 17degree's instead of its previous 16 and in some parts 15.

These new tyres don't hook up though. :)

I bought some Firenza ST-03's.

If I don't ease my foot in to it second axle tramps majorly. :D

My subframe bushes are screwed, first things first during the holidays, I'm going to fit some pineapples, hopefully it will stop the subframe from slopping about and help with traction a little.

If I still get too much movement, over the X-mas holidays I'm going to drop the subframe and fit a set of new subframe bushes from Noltec ($190 from Unique Autosports).

Maybe, a big MAYBE fit a S13 3.9:1 diff as to help the rb30 get that little more speed from each gear.

    • The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
    • But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...
    • I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference
    • I didn't actually try it at the time but a Launch X431 with the appropriate software licenses/upsell will have the ABS bleed function. The Consult II you can still find some old sets of equipment but they're really, really expensive:   
    • Well I'll start by saying I'm not an engineer. I am going to go with the KiwiCNC ones.  They are made of 7050 alloy have good fillets and radius.  The material alone is in the order of double the strength and fatigue resistance - Those bolts, once torqued correctly place most of the load at the flat face of the mating surface - the 'stretch' you're talking about through torqueing them up would be far more than the extra stretch 'load' placed on them from a steering input or bump. (in my opinion) so I doubt they would flinch.    - but again "not an engineer".      oh and I don't think stitch welding 7050 is a good idea, likely just weaken the material (from what I read)
