going to have a look at a 31 on monday after Martins hot tip. Apparently it needs a new left wing, front bar and grille, headlights and a cat. He says hes not selling his rims with it so I'll have to find some stockos if he can't find any.

Anybody got a car trailer or know how much it would cost to get a car trailered from Church Hill to Jimboomba?

hey everyone, just finished working on the car today - 7:30 till 6:45 and i still havnt had lunch yet, so f**k :) the people who give me grief about when my cars gonna be done.

hey man, sounds good.

i can do u a deal on 4 rims with the 20 setup :) inc tires. i towed my car home from nsw, cost me a deposit off 200bux at kenards but 24hr hire was 120bux in the end, was a good trailer and very nice to tow with, dont bother with servo trailers. otherwise ring up a tow company and ask em how much per km.

I just tell now. It works better in the long run.

so car is running like a dream..

cbf putting the oil cooler on.. :)

handles like its on super rails now..

:nyaanyaa:

but they f**ked the wheel allignment today

The fuel pump works dave, but when the T88 comes on boost around a corner the clown of a car surge's, still more sorting out. Going to throw on that one way valve (tech threads on here seem to think they shit out from time to time).

Might go buy wire and go nuts with earting the pump better too; saw a few tech threads re that as well.

Id rather be sanding and knocking back rough spots than chasing ghost elec problems!! Seems to have fuel, but almost like an elec cut/short. Oh the joys of dionogistic work.

Time to reset the ecu... again

Let run in the shed for 15-20mins after replacing little valve, all was seeming to be ok; then BAM rarp rarp rap rough as guts and stall.

Hard to start; started left run for a bit and it seemed fine. This car is the devil, I wish not to test drive it.. just yet haha

    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.      
    • It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...
    • Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator. 
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
