flashy brakes bro

Yep they do look flashy,,,but you know me by now,,,they have to fit perfectly. Remember I'm anal so the caliper has to sit perfectly in the middle of the disc. I machined up some spacers tonight but I don't think I got them right. Someone has built the dog-bones beautifully so it's just a matter of me making the whole package work to my liking,,,I don't want un-even pad wear or pad knock off big fella. Time and work will tell if I actually use them.

Cheers

Neil.

Cheryl has now been semi retired, most of my focus is on the Radical. I have two planned events for the old girl though so she's not getting off being thrashed again. Saturday night at Bathu

So it turns out that is indeed what happened, and as Mel is not taking up racing and nor is their only child Lizzy the Great Dane, I am tidying the car up for sale.   As far as I can tell it is p

Update time, I've actually finished installing the Radicals rear spoiler on to the Skyline, what a fun job on your own getting it exactly in the middle and correct front to back. At full adjusted heig

I've been stuffing around with my cold air box and thought what the hell am i going to do with this hole which used to be a factory intercooler inlet,,,

So after a bit of thinking and a little trip to Bunning I thought why not buy these bits, They cost all of about $15 bucks.

It's far from finished,,,as I think I should put some mesh over it,,,just to stop the gerbils from getting in but this took stuff all time,,,not like trying to re-fit my R33 GTR snorkel to the top of the box,,,that's still a work in progress.

I finally finished my cold air box,,,it all went great until trying to make my R33 gtr snorkel fit properly,,,lots of heating and bending took place and it's still not a 100% but I can live with it for the moment. The reason I made my own and didn't buy one is they are all made for street cars that still use the carbon canister which has a big cutaway at the front. Mines made of 3mm fibreglass sheet and covered in stinger roadkill sound and heat deadening insulation. The deadening was supplied by my good friends at Metrosound in Artarmon http://www.metrosound.com.au/ and I recommend them for anybody looking at stereo upgrades. If you look closely you will notice all the allen bolts are blue anondised aluminum and as usual my fetish for carbonfibre has extended to making washers as well. No sense waisting off-cuts. My next box will be made totally from carbonfibre but the funds are not going there at the moment. I really need bigger injectors and a turbo upgrade. Anyway here's some pics of my latest creation:-

I used the DC60's from Matt at RBS great stuff BTW.

I used RDA and never had a drama, no cracking or warping very happy with them

Okay my bad,,,I should have clarified my dis-like for RDA. I actually don't like the way they run their business and until it changes I will never buy their product.

Love

Neil.

So now that I have my flashy 244 killowasps,,,this has bought me a new set of issues,,,

1/ My standard injectors are at a 100% so I need an upgrade,,,so I bought these 2nd hand ones off another SAU guy

post-29-0-22432800-1406714814_thumb.jpg

555 Nismo's and tomorrow they are off to Unigroup for testing.

Issue 2 is my turbo,,,now I'm not going to move away from my high-flowed one but it's not right as boost is coming on at 6000 rpm and obviously that is not right. I and now Duncan have been driving around it but I now have the shits with it and it's time for fixing,,,again Unigroup will have the job of fixing it.

I'm not really after anymore power,,,just better drive-ability,,,but 300 will be on the cards for sure.

Cheers

Neil.

yeah mate I reckon she'll be even more fun with that huge hole fixed in the power band.....it comes on boost like a 400kw car :(

and call on the injectors...I saw 100% on the PFC which is never good

love how it drives though, it is super predictable so you make the most of it.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
