I need to find a cheaper than a $1000 Carbon Fibre bonnet with no ricey vents,,,maybe a cheap S2 factory or a fibreglass bonnet. It will be painted so if anybody has one thats needs some work I'm your man.

Cheers

Neil.

Neil, can you send me the details of where to got the bonnet catches please I want to get a set. If you find a cheap bonnet let me know cause I have been looking for one for a while also.

Got them from uk ebay mate,,,heres the link,,,he is not the only shop,,,there were a few,,,but I've used him before,,,I've bought stuff for the Radical off him.

Yea bonnets are a bloody pain,,,I only just missed out on a slightly damaged Carbon Fibre one from Just Jap,,,Duncan sent me this joint,,,very ricey place,,,but it might be worth a look for you. I'll keep my ear out to the ground for you,,,you need a S1 don't you?.

Sweet thanks yer my car is a series one, the bonnets are very cheap I will let you know if I get one. I just want something light with minimal vents and shit.

Ryan,,,their shop is like 5-10 minutes away from where I live,,,so if you need me to go and have a look for you thats cool. Just ask mate.

Have you had a look at www.musecret.com.au

I believe they may have what you are after and most of them are under 1000

The mail man's been getting a work out lately and so has ebay. I paid $271 landed saving $108 bucks. Roll cage foam here I come.

Pity seats are so bloody expensive to ship,,,looks like they will be a local buy.

Cheers

Neil.

hey Neil, your steering wheel is not round. how do you expect to do sick drifting?

any progress this weekend?

Correct Duncan my new wheel is not round,,,did you what to drift Cheryl???.

No actual work on the car this weekend,,,Nice to have a rest,,,lots of researching work done though.

I can tell anybody that wants to know that buying roll cage foam out of the States at a good price isn't going to happen. Unless you want it sea freight(12 to 16 weeks). This was looking great,,,till we had a talk about shipping.

I've decided on an ECU for the moment,,,we are going power fc

Cheers

Neil.

Picked this up tonight,,,I spent literally hours on the net looking for a good one,,,found one on e-bay that I liked only to be out-bid in the last 15 seconds,,,sucked in to whoever beat me,,,you paid to much money.

Hge disappointment,,,so I logged onto SAU and what was sitting in the "New Posts" another bloody PFC. Quick call and sold,,,nice bloke to boot with some really cool Staffie dogs and pups. He made 230 kilo's so it will have a good starting point.

This will do for a while as I really do want motec.

With an LMA-3 Data Logging Kit...

PM me if you would like to make an offer. It's just sitting at my Dad's house. I'd say replace the O2 sensor with a new one, as O2 was always in the dump pipe, but unit was rarely connected...

Lemme know and I'll try bring it on Sunday.

Nice,,,but at this stage,,,a simple cheap system will do for the time being if I even bother. While it would be great,,,in my big picture using Motec will do everything I need after the engines are done. The entry level M84 at rrp of $2420 is great value I think.

Cheers

Neil.

Wow I want that ECU!

More pics are need though Neil!

Here you go mate,,,the price I posted was out of Auto Action last week.

Spent Saturday,,,researching again. I'm chasing a 2nd gearbox so I can run an after-market gear set. Bloody hell every bastard wants them,,,for SR powered cars and VL's. $1500 for a second hand un-known one is serious rubbish money,,,I'll keep looking but,,,I've just about decided that I have 2 options,,,ask in our wanted section for a crunchy one or look at importing a car.

Sunday,,,started at 8.30 and had to stop at 2.00pm,,,I'm getting way to old to put in a full day in this heat. I started with cleaning up again,,,it's so easy to make a mess. I decided I needed to start covering the holes left after the sound-deadening fun we had. I found 3 of the 4 big steel plugs and after removing 5mm of crap off them,,,I welded them in. I couldn't find the 4th one so we ventured down to Clark Rubber to buy some rubber grommets to block the firewall holes,,,floor holes and the hycass hole in the boot,,,or should I say I bent over and got raped. $40 buck for 13 grommets just isn't fair,,,What would they cost them,,,20 cents each. Anyway as Mel said on the way home,,,"You needed them so cop it on the chin my love".

Started looking at removing the carbon canister and all it's pipes and hoses,,,but I need 2 peeps to do to properly.

Cheers

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
