Morning Mangs,

Monday :(

On the bright side though... 2 day week! :D

how??

I have tommorrow and wed off (sort of) would love to know how you score a 5 days off..

heaps winning. Strayan as f*ck.

nah. What you needed to do was go "well now that you've given me those 2 days off for a 5 day weekend i'm hardly likely to turn up on monday and tuesday, so why don't you give me those off too"

Unfortunately, I've got a workshop to go to next week :(

T minus 4 hours and counting

similar setup here. last day of the week. tons of work....

is there noticeable improvements in ride with hubcentric rings? getting some longer wheel studs from gktech and wondering whether I should get some to go with my wheels and spacers?

you should, but 10mm slip ons are thicker than the hubcentric rings so they probably won't do anything.

What you really should do is get custom spacers made that match the hub center bore on the inside and the wheel center bore on the outside, then no need for rings!

what you should do is get the right offset wheels. Failing that you can buy hubcentric spacers.

it's not the offset of the wheel that's the issue, it's the fact that one sits flush with the guard where the other noticeably sits about 10mm in, and it's giving me the shits.

will google hubcentric spacers

but in general, are hub centric rings recommended on aftermarket wheels?

Heard that misso, It is very common with skylines. I dont think I have seen them the same yet.

ARC are a bunch of smart cookies. Their sidemounts bolt in just fine... its just when you go put the wheel arch lining on that stuff starts to get distorted. But still, its bolt on :P

Nothing to serious though, it can easily be secured by the bolts/attachers that do fit, and zip ties to do the rest, so its not going anywhere, but just a bit floppy.

There isn't. Maybe the kit came with a new lining when new? It only needs to go back 5-10mm. Like i said, the standard one fits over it with a little bending meaning osme of the other mounting poitns are out.

and don't get me wrong, i'm stoked with the cooler itself.

    • 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.
