Well my car got all that much closer yesterday.

Brake master cylinder in, bled & suspension all done. Wheels went back on last night and I expect it to be going to the exhaust people either later today, or next Tuesday when I'm on another day off.

All is going to plan at present.

Im pretty sure Cazz has been putting inmany hours of 'covertime' at work, getting everyting ready etc!

Im still trying to figure out if the cars will be in n Arc or Line....

Im thinkig of asking the boss for the whole of next week off, otherwise this car will be both shit lookin, N/A (as in no turbo) and a 3 inch stanless exhaust and scuffed Z31 rims... TOOO loud for a total of 3200km trip...

AND

another let down.... blown headgaskt. sure it only takes 10 hours to fix, but I only ave 32 hrs to spare, and 30 of that is bolting on go-fast bits!

arrrrrrrrrrrggghhhhhh. should just buy that shabby GTSI and give it a detail....

Ive decided to keep the go-fast bits for the long weekend we have coming up....

So im going for the growly N/A option.

Still to decide on what to do with the exhaust though.

The turbo exhaust setup (which will likely be a bit too loud for N/A):

3 inch stainless from exh manifold to the 'cat'

'cat' is now a 3 inch I.D. (4" O,D,) stainless hot-dog, about 40/50cm long

then to a 2.75 inch mandrel section from the 'cat' to over-the-diff,

to a 2.5 inch inlet oval muffler with dual 2.5 tips

Still contemplating chucking in another muffler in the 3 inch front pipe

versus a 2.25 mild steel jobbie from the local workshop (at a cost though...) in which I will be chucking in a few months for the turbo setup....

although i could re-sell it to another member>>>>????

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      I've got a 2011 J50 that I imported six years ago. The unmodified factory AV system date and time has always been correct ( Japanese timezone of course ) up until last month. About two weeks ago, at engine start, the system wished me a happy new year ( in Japanese of course ). I can't think of anything that would make the system think that the date had changed, unless the GPS component has failed/reset somehow ? I checked the GPS reception in the system settings, and it can still see the satellites. Has any other J50 owner had this happen ?  It's no biggie, just annoying that it tells me the wrong date anytime I start the engine. 😅

      Love following your adventures on IG, hopefully if you're still around in Japan when we visit again wouldn't mind going for a few beers with you (that's if you're keen on hearing how I hate Nissans).

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
