lol at steveo

lucky I got a passenger ride before I ducked off for the day at texi

awesome car man :thumbsup:

awesome day, really good chance to learn how the car properly handles after the engine change. needs over come some under-steer, new suspension raising rear spring height and lowering the front a tad. well that and more grip!

after a little experiment, i found out my induction hood actually inducts air! from as little as 40km/h there positive pressure trying to make it way into the engine bay from the windscreen. now all i have to do is find a way to use it.

Becareful with just letting air flow in from the bonnet, it can cause too much air pressure inside the engine bay and limit air flow through your radiator.

I've already noticed it, it behaves it self a lot better at texi's than it does on the road. it gets hot, not too hot just a tad more than normal, and it starts idling at 1500rpm to speed up a clutch fan that no longer exists. I'll have to block the induction hood up until i find a way to use it.

next on the cards is suspension work mainly involving putting the R32 GTR cradle in, and get new rims, thinking 17*8 front and 17*9 rear. needs a lot more grip!

3.7 ratio diff is in! lot more legs now and more fuel economy. has a cool diff whine that increases as your speed does, kinda sounds like a straight cut gear set. hope this doesn't mean it'll go bang though.

    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
