Ok this is baffling. How do I pull the left rear inside off to get to the TV tuner?? M35. Plenty of info for the older stags but none for the M35. If I ever successfully do it Imight put together a pdf of the M35 install.

I took four screws off the top panel, easy slip off. But the carpetted panel beneath it won't come off. I can see one black plastic plug, hard to remove without breaking it but the whole thing sems pretty solidly attached and I'm scared to pull too hard for fear of breaking something.

It can be difficult to get the panel off with out removing the floor. It will come out though with a bit of effort. I think you will have to remove the cover for the tools but this one is reasonable easy.

On the carpeted side panel, there is a black plug that needs to be removed by popping the top out (or maybe screw it), it is a bit difficult and you will need remove the panel next to the passenger seat over the rear wheel arch.

Hi Andrew

If you are only doing the TV tuner and not adding any other items at the same time you have all that you need. You didn't mention that you have Chooks TV tuner but I take that as a given.

I would say about 2 hours to do it all.

If you can remove the whole panel in the boot it will make it easier. Make sure you have some thing to secure the 2 TV ariel cables into the new mount. I used shrink cable covers but tape will do it if you are good at wrapping it.

You need to find your power and I can not remember which wire I picked up for that. Craig may remember.

Chooks instructions are very good and very soon you will be enjoying your TV in your heated leather recliner. (perfect for the Vovo driver)

Cheers

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.

      Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts.

      Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha

      Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
