^ peak power is not everything chase the torque it lasts longer and dosnt require as much thrashing to get around with some decent power plus you can spank people in the wrong gear :)

Oh dont worry, ive got more down low torque than most worked V8's, but i dont run out of steam half way through like they do! lol!

yeah im sure ya do. was intending that for damo ive seen to many go the path of just getting a number to brag with :P

ive seen the grim mobile in action like 4years ago. 1st car i seen shoot flames on the street and the way that turbo sqeelz sounds pretty crazy.

we did have it on film but the stupid cam broke :P

2swift ring any bells mayb not cause the driver didnt put in a good effort at the time :)

I can vouch for that! Got a sample of "the fury" earlier in the week. :)

Ha ha Inline, yeah GRIM is a lil bit nasty with the flame side of things...its a good way of making people not sit to close to the back of the car when driving!

Yeah you got a mild taste of it on the weekend Roo, keep in mind thats only at 13 psi, wait until we add the other 10psi to it! lol!

Oh, I'm fully aware of the lack of the 10psi Ben :P But I do agree you'd want AWD back when you've dialled in the new boost.

I've wound my boost back to 7psi from 10psi since swapping the turbo, until I can get the SAFC and tune her properly. When I get the SAFC, and do the shift kit, I'll run 13psi and that'll be it performance wise. Like I said earlier, its for that reason that I can't spend stupid money getting stupid power. Been there, done that, many times over. If I wanna go fast now, thats what my bikes are there for :P

... but I have no quarrels riding in the cars of others who have done it :)

Another day.... another defect :D yay.....

That sucks! :(

Me and the GF were out getting takeaway last night and a cop car ahead slowed right down so I caught up with him (me in the LH lane, him in the RH lane). Then the cops took a long hard look at the Stagea ... I turned into the takeaway shop I wanted and I saw them pull across the two lanes and park up the road. They must have given up, by the time we got our order they couldn't wait :D

Yeah, i was down arndale way. There was a holdup of some sort at the chemist down arndale and were millions of cop cars. Got pulled over by Hanson rd

by 2 old dudes in a police Toyota Landcruiser. Got done for spacers on the rear. Not happy about it since all i was doing was driving but yeah ..... Anyone

have a stock R32 steering wheel lying around??

Yeah Steve, i have been TOLD were going on Saturdays cruise...lol. Send me the details on PM or sms or something mate!

Hmmm i wonder what else i could do when iget my tax cheque back........ :D

Not what you think baby... lol!!

sorry to hear Min

Amanda has he taken the top off the brake fluid reservoir that will help release pressure

is there a certain way of pushing the brake cylinder to put the new pads in?

coz my dads having a bit of trouble and yeah

Yeah it sucks but everyone is lending a hand which reduces my anger by alot! Adrian is helping with wheels and suspension which ive already collected!

(Cheers bro :D) Luke enr34 is going to lend me stock 32 steering wheel :) and yeah i might be getting a stock uncut front bar from another friend!

I am slightly worried about my exhaust though, is there anyway of quietening the exhaust?

You have to squeeze the caliper pistons back into the caliper either using a proper tool, a G clamp or two screw drivers....

MIN, a baffle plate between the cat flanges will do the trick.

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
