If you guys do hook up, do you mind if I come along and have a stickybeek and learn a thing or two. I have tones of questions?

Fine with me.....will let you know!

I washed my stag last night at 11:55pm whistling.gif

god damn I need a good detail..... is it worth buying the stuff and doing it myself? or better off letting the professionals do it ?? teehee.gif

worth buying and doing your self, and having the stuff to do it another 3 times down the track.

you can spend near abouts the same amount to get someone good enough to do a good job.

Comes down to you being bothered or not.

Did mine the other day, came out alright for my first time doing it

looks good :) I'll have to have a think about what I want to do! there is a good satisfaction I suppose when you do it yourself! cheers.gif

I know there is some pretty good instructions on how to do it on here.. using those magic bar things after the wash

have attached an rtf document a made when I copied the instructions off one of the posts long ago :D

Can say the sore back and arms pay off when you look at it n done well.

I clearly didnt copy that outline lol, i use a microfibre sponge. its a sponge version of the chamois. Never scratched my car.

I just used that 3 step maguires stuff. but whatever works and last's i gues.

Have fun being sore for the rest of the day :whistling:

lol....so your the one that bought it aye!!!.....I was watching it.....should be good for a plug and play IMO!......just go for a quick run up on a dyno if your worried!

I can not see it being anything too radical and if it is with your turbo you wont be leaning off anyway!....but then again I could not find anything on the web for it!

The problem with mine was I was running an Impul at the time and it had no boost cut!.....I also didn't have control of boost at the time and with all the little bit's I had added on it leaned off fairly quickly.....+ I had the standard fuel pump!

For e.g. at the moment I am running the Nismo with all my little bit's and pieces I am hitting 97% duty cycle at 4,000rpm on 8PSI boost and with 70% throttle application. Cannot wait for 18PSI, 6,500+RPM and full throttle usage again!

I'm pretty sure he was talking about the "nasty" sponges and not the microfibre ones haha

yeah that outline is a bit bloated and some might say "overkill" but that's how they get the car show shine apparently! thumbsup.gif

will work up a good sweat when detailing I'm sure.. I think I'll give it a go! (maybe this weekend)

Craig are you gonna beat me to a tune? hurry up and come down n do ittttt! wanna see what the ARX will be like all tuned - SAFELY

Bit of a late Christmas for me :)

Got this in the mail today!

Now its time for the rest of the exhaust and highflow :)

Im really tempted to plug it in and drive, but don't want any Jetwreck type problems....

ahhh very lucky!!

i was going to bid on that myself but i was away and forgot all about it, nice work!!

plug it in and let us know. beware of the throttle restriction :P

It will be fine... I am running the Impul with no problems... other than hitting 100% duty cycle at 7000 rpm. Fortunatley the ECU is running the car rich so this is not an issue.

:thumbsup:

I'm just waiting for Scott to tell me when to come down....as soon as he gives me the go I'm on my way!

What did i do lately?

got pissed and watched a STIG DVD in the car!

climbed out at 2am (go the cupholders!) and left the interior lights on, had to leave it on charge overnight to get enough back in the cells to start it.

it was discovered by the mrs who called after i had already made it to work complaining that the doors wont open and is making a siren noise... oops!

hpefully the cahrge will build up again and i haven't killed the battery, i'll find out in 3 hours when the mrs goes to leave from work LOL

ahhh very lucky!!

Well Took it out for a quick spin at lunch today. Plugged in the ECU and everything started and ran perfectly! which is good news.

gave it a little bit up the main road and it has a bit more top end actually - infact in auto it shifts out of 2nd at 7,500rpm! pulled hard all the way and I was going over 120km at that stage so didnt want to keep the foot planted. It feels the same at low revs, mid range seems a little stronger (could be my imagination) but definitely pulls better up top and just keeps revving up to 7,500 - which is weird because the sticker on the ECU says 7,000 rpm.

Anyway I think I got a good bargain there!

Now its time for the high flow and dump so I can really make use of this ECU.

    • 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.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
