Let me correct you on this one budd. I own this car. It is running a nitrous Ls2 with a tricked up auto and lock diff. It has never seen the strip in this configuration so the times you mentioned are false. The car is not a show car, It gets driven daily hence its not always clean. The front bar lets the car down, but the rest of the car is clean.

Not having a go at you budd, just giving you the facts. :)

Ahh ok, yeah I wasn't so sure on the strip times as I can't even recall where I heard that lol, but good to see I'm not completely insane and was at least right about the engine ;) Also good to see the owner is at least a member on here :) I quite like it myself, though I'm not really a fan of the pearlescent paint - as awesome as it does look, just not my thing.

Yeah Trozzle - You should've known bud ! GOSH !

SIR. MY f**kING BALLS. YOU ARE BREAKING THEM. LOL

I'd just got up (still asleep really) to take son to work. Wasn't really with it.

34 was warming up so couldn't go fast - as I wanted too :(

Don't do what I do coz not a good example :unsure:

As per the bolded text.

When do I know that the car is ready to be opened/ warmed? I've been looking at the heat gauge (Bottom right) and waiting for it to go to it's normal spot (Just under halfway) however, I have 3 gauges in the middle. (One is turbz and the other is battery volt.) but the other one (Middle) is oil tempeture(?) - do I go off this to know that the car is warmed up? - it sits on 70 for quite awhile.

Just drive conservatively until the car's at operating temp (temp gauge ~halfway or so), then drive as hard as you want lol.

I'd say once the oil temp is above 50 deg you're fine to drive it however you want really, but that's not a professional opinion :)

Water temp is a terrible gauge to tell if the car is ready to drive hard. If that's all you have keep going easy for a few minutes after it reaches normal temp.

If you have oil pressure, notice how high it is when cold, and how low it is after a long drive. When it comes down from high/cold to low/normal it is ready to hoon.

If you have oil temp, anything over about 60- 70 is ready like trouble said

The important thing is it might take much longer than you'd guess to warm up, esp on a Canberra morning. The stag is not getting anything near warm on my commute.

Dont thrash a cold engine! It is way bad for it!

And don't shut down an engine that isn't at operating temp after a short drive :P if the oil isn't hot enough, the little bit of fuel that slips past the rings etc won't evaporate and in turn will sit in the oil and ruin it.

Cheers guys !

Yeah - I tend tp not thrash the car (if at all) but I don't use my Turbz until maybe 10-15 minutes into the drive and after that I wait until all gauges are lifted from the bottom of the gauge. I do wait 2mins or so (idle) of a morning and have a turbo timer set to 30seconds but will sit with the car running for 30-60 seconds before the 30 sec timer engages. I just thought I'd use the gaugges instead of them looking pretty haha

The middle gauge sits on 70 from cold and I wait until 85'ish? (it won't go any higher).

Should sit on the needle below 70.

When it raises to 70 then it's go time

Should be capable of going over 85 tho ?

Edit: Can drive after a minute or so from cold. Stay off boost till oil is warm enough.

I don't thrash mine, but I don't let it idle too long or baby it either. I don't take it to redline or launch as it's not just the engine that takes time to warm up. I certainly get it on boost (under load) before the oil is 70+ and water temp is at 'normal'. won't hurt them to be driven realistically!

Thanks for that Richard. Very Cool. :cool:

Temps? My oil Temp was getting up around 95 on my work commute a few weeks ago... Doesn't get much over 70 now. Ambient Temps affect things more than you think.

I don't sit idling on cold start but I change gear no higher than 3000rpm til over 70 on oil temp. Well, a combo of oil pressure and temp.

Need to hook up my water temp gauge properly for more information. Just can't be stuffed cutting Radiator hose etc... :)

Spotted RS4 or whatever your username is at your place of employment in Fyshwick ;)

Also spotted the person that has the dark blue 300ZX on Gladestone Street about 4pm.

And a silver R33 GTR at Dan's Tuggers. Guy was wearing HI VIZ.

    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
