Very Happy today.

Finally got to drive my Line today. Went to the compliance place to have a look and take some digi pics. The guy says, here's the keys, take it for a burn - Just don't let cops see you (no rego / plates) .

Started her up - sounds sweet . Cat back 3" (Maybe 3.5") system - very straight too. Looks like it has 2 resonators and no muffler - Also Apexi type pod filter.

1st gear - whooosh second gear (standard BOV vents back thru the pod) - I plant it in 2nd - boost cuts in......, then rear wheels lose traction (is this normal) ??? Was on a normal road.

Decide to take her back to the shop (only got to third gear)

Took a look around - Luv the wheels 17" 6 spoke - R brand (R in Red) too dark to see it properly. Suspension very low & hard - Front spoiler has been scraped a little.

Rear bumper has mark on it - looks a like rope mark where they tied it down on the ship.

The car is filthy - needs a good detail.

Apexi S-AFC included - I think it is an old one - It's got 5 (or so knobs on the front - Dunno if this is any good.

Alll in all very happy.... And I get to tak it home in a week after engineering - Can't drive it tho, gotta wait for comp plates to come in. But while I'm waiting, the stereo will go in, and it will be getting a mega detail........

Cheers all - It's been a long wait !!

brendan - yeah with a good clutch you can snap thirds quite easily... hitting third hard in my car will send the back across the next lane. :D

the S-AFC, yeah thats the older model - still a VERY good unit, take it to mark at hills (see my sig) for tuning, he'll look after you.

Christian.

Oh and congrats.

Very Nice... I really wanted a silver one... maybe next time.

I know what you'll be going through now. The last week, week and a half was the worst for me. It had been SOOOOO long and there was SOOOO little time left... it seemed to take as long as the 2 months before hand!

Look forward to seeing it in the metal!!!

Ha , I don't even have the car yet and I'm already buying stuff for it !!!

prank - what sort of mods have you got???? I can't even get wheelspin in 2nd when driving it hard (I only have a cat back exhaust) - is this normal?

Black33,

It depends on plenty of things.

I have 162rwkw and can spin second sometimes third in the dry but my tyres are now pretty shot... when they were new 255/40 17's I had to push pretty hard to spin first (ie, give it 5 grand and sidestep the clutch!)

Do you only have zorst? do you also have wider wheels on the back? more rubber on the road means harder to spin.

define "hard"?? :lol:

Seconds should be easy...unless you have some very good quality rubber on the back

    • I had a similar situation with my R32 GTS4. I replaced that solenoid, but it hasn't solved the problem. So its possible the pump is failing. It seems you need to drop the diff in order to do anything that might fix this. So its important to know exactly what the problem is. Or just replace / repair everything while the diff is out.
    • Yep, I was supprised. Its all about flow rather then housing size.  Doing G35-900 Vs ATR45SS-1 Next. 62mm V 61mm. 
    • Of course sometimes you cannot go with the cheaper alternative but I try to weigh it up for the application - am I competing or am I going to the track ten times p/yr. As long as there’s enough information out there to back the cheaper alternative as a good option I’ll go for that.   I’m a bit of a bastard though as it’s my job to reduce costs, particularly on non income generating assets. EUR 500 saved for the diff + EUR 1,000 saved on BC racing over Bilstein and then say EUR 300 versus EUR 600 on an off brand windscreen versus OEM (for example) soon accumulates. I mean, I’m probably gonna put the car in the ditch anyway. Absolutely do not take this as a justification for always buying cheap shitty parts, just a rationale for doing your research and considering what’s necessary for your application.    
    • All the above effort, time, swapping out parts in the dark (i.e. no O2 data). You're literally running in the dark.
    • Looks like both of my cars have pressure switch issues. The R32 GTR has 18 flashes on the ATTESSA controller which is "ETS pressure switch circuit". The 4WD light is intermittent, and often just restarting the car clears it. There is an $300 replacement option https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/285675135148?itmmeta=01HXN3YKRGKQ08GRZ5KFKKZWJT&hash=item428390a0ac:g:6CcAAOSwWxBltMEG so if it becomes a permanent issue and I can confirm that the switch is the issue, i have a solution. The NM35 is reporting C1208, and disconnecting the switch causes the 4WD light to go away. Translating from the Japanese shop manual "when the pressure is reduced to 2.6MPa (377 psi) or less: conduction occurs when the pressure increases to 3.8MPa (550 psi) or less: conduction is present. Reference: • Immediately after the E-TS actuator motor stops, the pressure inside the accumulator is high and there is no continuity." Not sure how good the translation is but from what i can deduce this means the switch is normally closed (NC) and as the pressure builds from 0 to 550 psi the switch stays closed, then opens and 550 psi. As the pressure drops from 550 psi to 377 psi the switch stays open then closes again at 377 psi. Is that how these things work? These pressures are a lot higher than the R32 ("control pressure 0-228 psi") but i'm hoping i can find a generic switch (like they've done for the R32) to use as a replacement. Maybe something like https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/355586397452?epid=1676016964&itmmeta=01HXN534AF22ACTG6TGDDQGEQ7&hash=item52ca99d50c:g:mAEAAOSw8ilmBcMh&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8LtWdNlWHgyJ%2F3cbw25S2A1lde3qBi3fJii4T3lQavCz4kpqiD42SmBa4FocMvXCjcxiowHjb8vZ8%2BWxc53BkHv781tkStSnCDaenfGKC3bIp0keK20dfsn9LoPa3TfqaEmAydqqyKobgTdXsGGzsl%2BRjOVGuD8OIpOv%2B0wMl7aUtHg0iJtojbtzA%2BRS8Xfm8Ufjuvz4niwrqglAXFUbkL6J%2FGuHPeeECZhLBBN3iNM1Swl94Fv5zE95YK%2B5O6dxDN1ySNOjdMxkA8yaprbuwRHFQv1nlGh%2FWjekj6EUFR2%2FO4HTsoKtSAkY0Mj1w1uf1w%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR6zFjKXtYw but with a lower close pressure, and thread adapter if required. Am i dreaming?
