I'm having trouble locating some mesh for my new front bar (minimum purchase from one place was 12m by 24m, yes meters :thumbdwn: ). Do you guys have any suggestions? I am after diamond style mesh with the diamond being about 2cm by 1cm.

Thanks in advance.

AFAIK, its just sitting down there.  

Perhaps give Mark a call.  I will be going in this arvo to have my exh cam dialed in, I can ask for you then if you like.

Great, that would be good mate. I need 1m x 1m I suppose. Let me know.

Just checked with Mark, he said no probs, just go down and see him - although grepin was down there and I noticed the mesh I had was a little smaller than his, so may not be exactly what you are looking for.

1mx1m is a fair bit, are you doing making a front bar our of mesh?:(

Thanks for that. I thought he'd prefer to get rid of larger portions, so smaller is better for sure.

You got good grunt from dyno runs today I hear, are you happier?

I have had a good run in the last day or so, basically tidying up tune and boost leaking from stock BOV. I've gone from 250 to 265 at the same boost (1.2 bar) and heaps more mid range. Car fells totally different, feels like it's ready to kill me!

Sounds good. Its amazing how much difference a small boost leak can rob. I got my boost in about 3-400rpm earlier from blocking the PCV valve, tidied idle up a bit too.

I spent nearly 3 hours dialing in the cams only to find the original setting was close to right. It is amazing, the difference was only minimal going from 0deg to -5deg on the the exhaust.

I am happy considering the setup. The exhaust is definately killing power up top, but that is what you get for a street legal, quiet exhaust. I knew this would be the case, as when I put it on it killed power/spool up when compared to the N1 system I had on previously.

I made 270 at 1.1 bar, 285 at 1.2bar, (not that great when I was making 256 at 1 bar without cams, but the engine has been decompressed) and there after the car starts choking. Final figure was 309. Also, I think I may need to change my intercooler to throttle body pipe - its only 2 1/2 inches diameter, so I am sure a 3" pipe will help it breathe a little better (it was 3" before the trust plenum went on, mick seemed to think it would be worth alot to upgrade). I will get it up on the rollers again when the pipe is sorted, and might just rip off the exhaust to see what happens.

Sounds like its time to get some decent rubber if you havent already, normal street tyres just dont seem to like much over 230-240rwkw.

Group buy for RE540s anbody?:(

Thanks Whats, much happier, Shaun at Boost Worx really put in the effort and care needed and the important thing is the way it drives not the numbers so much.

Steve and co., no more RE540s in Oz left!!! Running them out for the new RE55 which is CRAP, just ask Chris32, only lasted 3000km, whereas Grepin's (and Whats's) RE540s are not quite as grippy but have lasted a long time with a good old caning. Fantastic tyre the 540, pitty.

Bridgestone comming out with harder compound RE55 to address durability issues as there are a number of race categories that are really pissed off with the swapp from 540s to 55s. I think late March for new rubber. Other dissapointing thing is the new RE55s are asymetric.

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
