Don't break your cars anytime soon.

Nissan Motor Co said it would resume production at its Kyushu plant on Thursday and Friday for as long as inventories of parts last. Other auto-assembly plants, as well as its Yokohama engine plant, will remain closed. Nissan did not disclose the number of vehicles affected.

Nissan said transmission plants were damaged and have stopped operations because of another earthquake on Tuesday in Shizuoka, southwest of Tokyo.

what's the headcount like for this afternoon?

I should be able to manage yet another one of my brief pit stops

Will be there for a similar pitstop.

I'm in for tonight. Probably walking however :( New radiator won't be ready for another week or so and after the radiator goes in it still needs to be sent to EFI for tuning so it may be two more weeks until I have her back. At least I should have a few more killerwasps for the hive with the intercooler and new ECU and it won't go boom with the PWR radiator :)

Nice!

I fixed it!

That's my days work right there.

Good shit bru.

Good Job, Team.

Mr Motorvation right here.

They don't make parts for 31s any more anyway.

Will be there for a similar pitstop.

I now have a nice stainless dump and front pipe for teh stag.

Dump and front pipe

Bit eBay Spec, but it'll do for $120 :D

Doesn't look too bad :thumbsup:

Got the old lady out of horsepetal today so probably a no show tonight.

That seems like good news :)

Give my regards to the girls and tell them thanks for the mamarys.

Will do.

You think I sit at my desk with clothes on...

I think you don't have a desk and this is all a ploy to make us think you are someone important!

I knew as soon as someone mentioned 'that's what she said', you'd show up lol

You're right :(

It's really just a stainless table from IKEA. Looks like something you'd cut an animal up on :shrugs: Maybe I'm Brisbanes very own Dexter.

My ears where burning... What can I say!

Not the thighs of someone rubbing on them?

LOL.

Picked up some brake pads on the way home, putting them in on sunday. One thing to cross off the list.

One of the many pics of the Japan aftermath.

Not sure what the car was, but I wouldn't mind the brakes of it.

Will have to spend some time perusing japan auctions in the upcoming months :P

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
