Cheers

Andy

It finally showed up, in a very well traveled looking postage satchel with no padding :|

Everything looks to be in order, no damage to the box or the components.. looks like its all there and brand new. Fingers crossed theres no dramas!

I'll see if I can photograph some of the setup/install and screen options for this thread (and M35Stagea.info) :) I should really learn japanese; the manual has 91 pages of documentation for them, and 20 for us. Im pretty sure their language isnt THAT inefficient, so Im guessing they just get more details... bastards!

Got around to installing it, the missus came over and wasnt too keen on me sitting in the car for 30-45mins last night :P

Never mind, I had a good think about where would be practical for the unit and initially tried zip tying it on the right hand side of the steering wheen; that proved to be an awesome sun light reflector in to my face - so I settled for it on the left hand side.

The display itself is nice and clear, very easy to read

I used the double sided tape to mount it, wasnt possible to get it completely flush but I think it should hold

Didnt take any photos of the wiring, but I went with the Red - Orange connection, turns on and off with the car. I tucked the cables up into the opening in the panel next to the OBD plug, havent cable tied/taped back the cables flush yet but its out of the way for the time being :rofl:

Hi Dunc

Nice job.

That is the same spot I put mine. You should be able to tuck the cable up next to the main console next to the air vent.

I managed to bend my mounting pad so it sits flat on the curved surface.

Cheers

I contemplated trying to bend it but figured Id probably some how break it, knowing my luck :D

Theres already a cable running down there for the fog lights, I'll sort something out eventually.. Im thinking those little square stick on patches with tiny cable ties built in; one or two of them should keep it nice and flush.

Interesting thing I was oblivious too initially, the branding on mine! RE雨宮 (RE Amemiya), as in the tuning house for rotaries. Weird. Everything was new, in box. Protective plastic film still over the screen. Who knows :)

i rekon the mishi would have fitted with some cutting

but these ones have the mounts in the wrong spot and they hold the AC condenser out 10mm away from the core so the entire unit doesnt fit in

anyway, it will be sorted with more time and money thrown at it :P

Thats about how far the condenser sits out from mine...

how did you get it to fit without cutting too much of the reo away?

bah, dont worry actually. gotta get the radiator modded anyway so ill get them to move the mounting points forward so it WILL fit

then ill just shorten the hoses on the back so they dont kink up

      Ball bearing turbos

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.

      Ball bearing turbos

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist

      Forced Performance Hta Turbos

      By jdniss · Posted

      Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.

      Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
