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...

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
