Sand blasted the front gaurds at work yesterday, glassed, bogged and etch primed today. Tomorrow it's the sills. Someones already done a poxy bog job on them in the past so i"ll have to grind it out, rust treat it and more glassing. Got given a GTR XU1 boot air dam and guess what? it fits quite nicely strangely enough. The curve is so similar to the 210s boots curve that it won't take much to have it sit nicely. I'll put up a pic at the end of the day. Not sure what colour to paint it, the car will be white and the cooktop light assembley will be changed from grey to white also. Should i paint the dam white or black?

Sometimes the rust has just gottta go. Thankfully I work with some very generous sheetmetal workers.

This area had been badly bogged, thus the rust had a field day. Now it's been rust treated and sprayed with zinc it. The new sill will be welded in with a bit of glass and putty on the sides.

The sill in, Wish i had more room. Having to stack doors (bloody heavy too) on the boot, they must weigh about 40kg each. shame you have to have them,love to replace them with fibreglass and hope never to get hit side on.post-44326-1220689133_thumb.jpgpost-44326-1220689133_thumb.jpg post-44326-1220688909_thumb.jpg

Started the main priming stage today. Did the bonnet,boot,and guards in etch primer and put a coat of filler primer on this avo. Typing this with red raw fingers,bloody sanding aahhhh

Looking good man, nothing worse then sanding back a car, then priming, then sanding, then painting, then repeating :)

Dreading repainting mine, but liking some of the pearls on ebay at the moment :)

Cheers Dan

Primer filler on, my wife has the worst headache ever from fuming. :) Guess you gotta take the good with the bad. My mates compressor worked itself so hard it hemoraged oil. I think a bigger compressor for the top coat will be required

Without cutting anything a 205/55/r15 will go under there with no worries.

I remember that V8 skyline man ran 17's on his C210, but I don't know how much work it took to make them fit.

Yeah VSPEC32, that's exactly what I'm after. I don 't like my chances of finding them here in Aus. The guy who gave me the air dam also has some A9x bolt on guards and I'm going to check out how they fit and look on my 210. Has anyone seen these overriders for sale anywhere? Ricky.

Have you considered buying from Yahoo Japan Auctions?

I've previously purchased off of there via Slidewize Imports who provide a service whereby you specify the maximum bid on an item, and they provide a calculation on getting it to your door. They then bid on the item for you, have it shipped to their depot in Japan, repackage if required and ship to your door in Australia. I did this with a tail light cluster for a 200ZR Fairlady and that landed within 10 days at a cheaper rate than buying from Victoria. Also used them to buy an R34 GT-R drivers seat for my Silvia.

It mentions in that article that he uses S30 ZG Overfenders (possibly modified to suit), so based on that this search would certainly be of some assistance:

Hope that helps.

VSPEC thanks for the info, I'll try the A9X over riders first and if no joy there I'll try slidewize.If any W.A members no of a decent rear bumper, I'd like to know otherwise I'll rip the chrome of and paint it white.

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
