Dead as a doornail, just people fishing and shit, besides what the f**k you wannago down there for? I have 65mm ride height, I ain't beaching my shit on the crazy high speed humps down there!

you mean 65 from the lowest point on your car. measure height from the back chassis rail.

Yep sure is.

Can anyone clarify info about R32/R33 bovs.... are the mounting flange the same size/shape? Would one with 32 adapter bolt directly onto my 33 crossover pipe?

all fits bro. same pipe

Excellent, thanks a lot.

Can anyone tell me if there's any adjustment to be made on this version of HKS SSQ? Doesn't appear to be any visible screws or anything, but it comes with a couple of different springs... and I've been told you can go get some different size/strength springs from a hardware shop to get your own 'custom' tension.... can anyone agree/disagree?

If it has the nut on the top. this will apply.

How do I adjust my SSQV?

  1. First you should know that the usual tight/loose rules do not apply here.
  2. The adjustment only affects the outside black valve, not the inside purple valve.
  3. No matter how loose you adjust the bov, it will not leak. However, if you adjust it too loose, the parts inside will come apart and possibly jam the bov.
  4. For most applications you want the loosest setting, which allows the bigger valve to open faster loosing all of the compressed air
  5. If you adjust the bov more tight, the air will only come out of the small valve first, then the larger valve, depending on the tension. This will create a louder high pitched sound for the small valve, and a smaller deep pitched sound for the large valve. Some people like the bov tightened all the way for maximum "shreek" upon release.
  6. You need a 10mm wrench to adjust. Loosen the nut closest to the bov slightly. Now you can adjust the top bolt to your liking. Go for a drive. Once the bolt is where you like it, turn the nut to the right to "lock" that position. Do not over tighten the bottom nut. Again, be careful not to over-loosen the top bolt. If you loosen it too much, it will come right out.

Only just got home from car wash!!

I imagine the pom will hit home in about 40 mins.

Dan B - Thanks for the ride man!

Danski - Thanks for letting me ride in the 34! :P It was the only model I hadn't been in, and as most of the guys know are my favorite. It didn't disappoint :)

Colin - Thanks for the lift home!

Martin - Thanks for the AFM

John - Thanks for the fuel pump.

Right now, I'm cooking me up some fries. Then I'll get some tomage happening before I sleep. Hopefully I don't wake up stupid late, because as well as work on the car tomorrow I need to Christmas shopping, and move some furniture and set up some computers. Oh, and see my sister for dinner I think. Gonna be a busy day :(

lol got home at 4:31am. I was a good boy

Poor lil ranga. Has not internets too. Carpark soccer awesome. Watching you airswing was even awesom-er. Had maccas before going home but I'm pretty fkd now, so probs time to sleep. Oh and f**k x-mas shopping and dinner, get that afm and fuel pump into your beast! Proirities mang! I'm out....

Haha yeah car park football ftw.

ATTENTION EVERYONE!

This is Important, AND ontopic. (Outrageous I know)

I am sure you are all aware that next Thursday is Christmas eve, and we determined last night a number of us wouldn't be around. The Thursday after that is new years eve, and I'm sure we all have better things to do then too.

I'm still keen for a meet though, and Thristian will want to show off his new CA powered 180, so I am therefore proposing that for the next two weeks we bring the meet forward, either to Wednesday or Tuesday.

Thoughts? Yay or Nay? Please comment.

Thank you for your time.

Will keep an eye on the thread I might make an appearance next week.

VRRRRRRRRRRMMMMMMMM KSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHH

SCRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECH

my mother's neighbours now hate me, but there's shade at her place to work on the car

It was the AFM!

*dance brigade*

I'm off to the shops!

Nice mang!

Got my letter from QLD Transport. Suspension starts on the 11th January 2010 and I will be driving again by the 11th July 2010 :( I got another 5 month suspension but that will run concurrently with my 6 month suspension which is absolute win.

Good news kept coming yesterday as well I got my Christmas bonus which was a goodly amount and I got a promotion and an awesome pay rise. Went out celebrating last night with all the guys from work after our work Christmas party. Started drinking at midday and had my last drink at 12:30 am. Got home at like 1 lol. Was an awesome night out.

What's everyone doing for New Years? We normally have a party at our place but Mum n Dad don't want anything massive this year. If you guys are keen you're welcome to come round drink all our beer lol. Just thought I'd throw it out there to see if anyones interested.

Sweet thanks man... don't think it has the nut on top though. I wanna find out before I buy it, cause I really want to be able to adjust it, cause I get bored easily hahahahaha

Sounds like a plan, depending if my girlfriend is coming down will depend if i come

    • 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
