Most shops are not specialists in 31's or 13's. SOooooooooooo Chances are you'll pass easily.

You boys hsould just get a mobile roady guy to do it for you. They care not for such discrepancies

R31 tie rod ends into S13 spindles looks spectacularly dodgy. You either have a castle nut with no split pin in it, or an upside down caslte nut, either way you don't get many threads on it. Thats the sort of thing I would expect to fail a RWC, but hey, I may be wrong :banana:

be careful where you say that... that's enough to be stripped of your 31 club membership :P

Not if he re-uses oil and a filter from his GTR or something

Anyone who's not working/busy on Thursday and wants to come on this drive:

let me or Jason know. We'll be leaving from the BP at Aspley at 9am.

hmmm... might take a 'strayen day...

GTR filter didnt fit :P Had to use an old one of dads...

Yeah tie rods will look dodge. I'll see if I can find a rubber cover for the castle nut lol

looks like a decent drive, but I will have to sort out my camber a bit before i do any fun runs, as the tyres scrub lightly on hard corners.

Man up. My tires scrub heavily on light corners, doesn't stop me :P

so do mine. I usually just steer with the back end instead.

The noise drives me nuts though.

And having 225's on 10 inch rims, I really don't have much confidence in the tyres staying on the rim if I corner particularily hard

I might get some gtr guards though, so will be able to put decent sized rubber on the fronts

ps. still got the flu, so another day of ps3. got god of war last night, so will give that a workout. just gotta summon up the energy to go for a bourbon run...

skip the boring highway bit...

Go from Aspley up through Petrie, head to Dayboro and then over Mt Mee...

This will bring you out at Woodford...

This way you skip all the boring highway bits and Mt Mee is an awesome ride/drive...

As from Woodforf the rest is good stuff, out to Kilcoy down the back of sommerset and over Mt Glo & Nebo and home...

Looks like my average northside Sunday ride...

    • 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.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
