Picked up the stag after new plenum install.

Sex!

Just ran a rag over it, so she's not detailed properly :)

Is that my throttle cable???????????????????

Why 66, yes it is! And its thanks to you I have the stag now :))

Incidently are the cam covers polished or chromed? My Gready look alike is chromed so i want the covers to look the same.

thanks mate, havent seen u for a while, and im on 2 weeks hols atm too so it will be a little while...though maybe not looking

forward to the roughness of annangrove road :)

Yeh it has been a while, Annangrove road is shocking at the moment i have been leaving the skyline at home most days and using the daily hack, hope they fix it soon.

badly when it rains down that road it looks like a mine field....

hi flow turbo and WB o2 sensor is in, max tp limit so no more fuel cut, pulled some fuel out, added a few degrees of timing and now its standing up when floored. Damn AFM is maxing out now though, will put my z32 one on tomorrow.

Also noticed when i took the standard turbo off that the impellor is all chipped, explains the noise when it was on full boost, (i was chasing a boost leak, it sounded like air squeeling). Looks like it wont be going back on the r32.

Whilst loading a case of beer into my garage beer fridge, accidentally dropped one on the floor. Bottle hits the ground, smashes, then to add insult to spilt beer, the broken end with the cap still attached, bounces 5 feet, hits the door of the Stag and put 3 little scratches on it!

F##k this for a game of soldiers, going to drink a few of his mates, that'll learn 'em...

found out why it whines on high boost :worship:

getting the turbo off was not the most enjoyable job tho

will fit the new gasket tmrw and bolt the 3inch dump up

also, lolz at the stock dump pipe, i'm surprised that the wastegate can even open

i also have a sneaking suspicion that the rest of my exhaust is 3.5 inch cos the front pipe on my car is a bit bigger that the 3 inch dump/front pipe i have and it necks down just before the dump->front flange

So after having my replacement engine in for a few weeks with a hi-flow on it, it is now back to a rebuilt std turbo, (my old one) with a ceramic impeller. The difference is HUGE. The hi-flow didn't come on until 3200 rpm. It was at max boost at about 3700rpm. The newly rebuilt std turbo is on boost even lower than it was before the engine was replaced. It starts coming on a 2200 rpm and pulls hard to about 6000. The car now has a Nistune and will be tuned before the weekend. The hi-flow was not for me, that's for sure. It was slower than my wife's Maxima, until it got to about 60kph, then it was doing over 100 kph before you knew it..... crazy as far as I am concerned.

I'll post up the dyno sheet after it is done.

Replaced the plugs in my Stag and replaced the coilpacks too. Checked the CAS timing and reset the ECU while I was at it. :D

Also chasing why my brakes makes this loudish acoustics noise when its moving backwards (rolling back or reversing). Makes no noise moving forward. Got new pads and bedded them in on the track. They were fine up until I had to reverse out of my driveway for the first time with them. NOTHING is rubbing the rotors except the pads.

Mine does the same thing.

Jetwreck gave me his old r32 disks complaining bitterly about the squeal they had but I must have put them in backwards. ;)

Should have tried swapping them Craig...

    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
    • Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
