OK all,

Throttle cable is done,tail shaft is on and radiator ect is in,we even put oil in it. Have a small issue with the plenum to fix but thats about it.

For the first time in 5 months the car is off the stands and sitting on its tyres. :)

I have booked the car in for the week after next to get all the piping done.

Plenum problem now fixed,and installed the Greddy catch can.

Just got to hook up all the vacuum lines and put the bonnet back on.

Also added finishing touches like the Nismo oil cap and Nismo radiator cap.

Im getting rather excited now as i can see the light at the end of the tunnel, i even spent 10mins sitting in it getting my driving position just right lol

No doubt the night before it gets tuned it will feel like the night before xmas when you were a little tacker.

Yeh, and ill feel like a worried parent when its out in the shop for a few days lol

I do have a little concern about my new clutch.

I had an Xtreme cushion button before,now its a Jim Berry custom jobbie.

With the clamp load now being 3700lbs its feels sooo much lighter than the Xtreme one.

We have bled the clutch but it only improved it ever so slightly, so im beginning to think that its the way its suppose to be.

Just a bit weird knowing a have a monster clutch but it feels almost standard compared to the last one.

lol...

I went from a 1.2 tonne Xtreme clutch to the heaviest I believe 1.2tonne Exedy and the exedy felt like a feather compared to the super heavy Xtreme.

However; I felt a fairly new Extreme that was around the 1tonne mark and that felt fairly light so maybe it was just their old school clutches that were super heavy on the foot.

Dont forget, as clutches wear, they become heavier, thats why new clutched always feel lighter than the old ones they replace

pressed in

I thought as much. Looks like ill have to make do with the stock ones.

Anyway here is a new pic i took with the coil pack in bright silver:

post-32255-1214773843_thumb.jpg Looks like a Tomei "DERIVE" engine lol

Looks awesome in the sunlight.

Im getting a sticker made to replace the 2500 24valve logo.

they can be pressed out pretty easily

then either tap some threads or press some fittings in the covers and you can use earls stuff

ive got a set here that have had the stock fittings pressed out and earls 90 degs pressed in

Will be going to the exhaust shop in a week or two,then its off to the tuners so it will be on the road in a month id say.

On a side note my throttle cable is now too short for the plenum and trottle adaptor.No matter how i run it,it wont work.There must be people running the same setup as me who have got around this problem. Any suggestions??

R31 cable replaced mine :(

Ah the end is near!! Looking good, can't wait to see it in real life finally!!

The smile won't be off your face for at least a month :) Nor your ass out of the drivers seat for about the same time.... lol

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
