sex on wheels is was I call it :wub:

you have convinced me to purchased some nimso lmgt4 as well for my car....only question is where can I get them from :wacko: ?

Please buy these then :) - I have my eye on them but I really should not be buying more wheels...

Any chance you could post some photos up fo the new front and rear window seals...

Also, did you run new rear quarter windows?

Will see what I can dig up.

Yep went with some new quarters - the stockpile of new parts I have been dragging around for the past few years are finally getting used.

Funny you say that....I was just looking at import monster :turned: I want them bleck though.

I also spotted these

I think they would look great and just need nismo stickers to suit (would fit them on my 17in advan AO48 semi's rather well)

It's the same seal front and back - sits down in and forms a channel. The urethane holding the window in is what really stops and channels the water down the pillars.

You can see here at the corners how it doesn't work - it's only cosmetic, and the other aftermarket seal options sit up over the whole thing. Going to try nicking it with a knife on the front and see if it sits ok, if ok I will do the back as well. You can see the urethane sitting behind. I would probably go the factory seal my time again - but this being a track car I will no doubt have the opportunity to change the windscreen soon enough!

I do have the same seal on my 34 and it works fine, the corner isn't as hard, but I also think it would help to bunch the seal up a bit around the corners so it wrinkes on the glass (as per my 34), but doesn't leave a gap.

Otherwise now you just need some big anodized calipers. :) Settling for R34 AP/Alcon combo?

The 34 setup makes the most sense seeing I have hats and caliper mounts to replicate - however given the v8's have changed rotor size I am having a think.

I stocked up on ex v8 rotors so I have 4 spare pairs. I guess I can always go new however but somewhat defeats the purpose.

I need to have a look at those special ones you have there again now I am ready to talk brakes, and work out what you want for them and weigh that in. Chat next week unless you come up to DECA.

Off to Racepace for a check over, fluids, start up then tuning.

Should be ready to go around lunch time tomorrow - looking forward to seeing it fire up to put it mildly.

Nice seeing it out in the light as well and not cooped up in a corner! Wheels have been swapped for the 9.5 wides - will get onto getting them re-painted in the next few weeks. Also need to get all the clips or whatever to put the side skirts back on.

What's that rattling noise though (valve train?)

Nah it's something around the belts - I have my suspicions I may have left one of the bolts for either the p/s pump or alternator belt tensioner loose.

But I left it with them ... I know it's a little annoying having customers hovering over you while trying to work something out.

I thought it was coming from the belts as well but obviously hard to pick up.

Yes, let the pros do their job :)

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
