it hurt? We got a new cadet today. flamin mongrel is doing civil engineering at griffith and has a 6.6gpa. Super cadet..

any time i got higher than a pass i got upset with myself that i worked too hard, not that i ever did any work anyway

too hard to get parts for it mang

Parts? What parts?

Suspension? I'll bet a quid S13 gear fits up front. Rear end will be similar to HR31, parts are available.

Brakes? Nissans always have options

Engine? ESSS ARRRRRRRR

Interior? Gone... who needs parts?

Exterior? looks like its got everything it needs

I really just want a shell...

What about overnight from Japan ?

:)

glass, panels & lights for starters. I'm sure there's other bits too.

You know I love the 200Bs... but I don't want to see you stuck with something you can't fix for 8 weeks because you can't track down a specific ball joint or something

can't be any harder to get parts for than that f*cking alfa :)

I dunno man... euros always seem to be easy to get parts for... that's why all those old alfas, volvos and beemers are still running in the poor countries. endless parts supply.

Whats wrong with using the 31 as a track car?

Bonuses: you already have it

Negatives??

My understanding is he wants something he can kill so he doesn't have to worry about killing his 31

ahh i see

Martin you already know 31s, so you wont need to adjust to how the car feels much, and you already know what does and doesnt work alignment wise ect, just buy a shitty one of those body wise and whack a good engine in it

and he doesn't want a second 31 for some reason :)

I personally wouldn't mind a garage full of sexy 31 coupes

Hard man to please! I guess i am old and jaded, now the words 'project car' are almost enough to make me vomit, I would much rather go with a known quantity if i was going to make a track car, the sooner,cheaper and easier i can get it out there on the track the better!

    • 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.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
