i used a product called Glassylite to restore my headlights.

i used to use Meguiars PlastiX but found that they would just yellow up after a couple of weeks.

with the Glassylite, you are basically cutting back the polycarbonate lens, polishing it with lighter grade compounds as you go, and the final step is a nano-sealant which seals the plastic again. 6 months on and no yellowing, they look brand new. best 40 bucks i've spent on the car.

ive heard about glassylite, if your saying its the goods i might give it a shot

Scott's hi flowed turbo and injectors are now on my car...he probably cursed my name all through the 3 days he was working on it LOL.

Emanage installed by Cihan last nite, trans cooler installed by Aaron last night in the rain...thanks guys!

Got my shift kit installed today at RVO Auto. Rob's done a good job. As per everyone (Scott, Cihan, Aaron)'s advice, I asked him to make it "as firm as possible".

He said he'll do it after checking out the state of the tranny.

Opened the sump, no metal shaving, trans fluids look almost new. So he made it firrrrrrrm

Haven't been able to enjoy the car too much in its untuned state...hmmm

Also dropped the oil and put in Motul 8100 Xcess. Was too tight to pay for 300v Chrono :blush:

I head to Sydney on the 6am Qantas flight in the morning to pick up the car! Apparently its a train to a ferry, then Ben from Northshore will grab me from the ferry.

First bit turned up today, a Nismo Veruspeed oil filter. Just waiting on the Blitz air filter and Denso plugs, and I'm ready for the service. My local Repco stocks the whole Motul range, so I'll pick up some 300v and the Motul RBF600 brake fluid Iain recommended. No Nulon trade dealers in SA according to the Nulon rep who called me Monday, so my only option is to get Repco to order it in (was about $120-130/20L trade) or go to Sprint Auto Parts, which was what Nulon recommended.

Looking forward to the drive. Didn't take the day off work, worked the hours Monday and Tuesday instead. So while I'm a bit tired, I don't really have anything to stress about and can just enjoy the 1,400 km drive! Have packed my 7D, tripod and remote for some happy snaps along the way :D

i got my my new rear exhaust section fitted up today.

started off with 2 x 500mm sections of 3 inch pipe, 1 x 3 inch y piece and a 3 inch flange

the y piece is actuall 3 inch inlet into twin 2.5inch outlet so the pipes will need some adjustment to fit

old vs new, just needs some paint after the test fit

all fitted up, clearance is all good, just need some paint, it is a bit loud now at about 3000rpm, i'll prob just throw a hot dog in the system further up

Hey Ironpaw, that's a long list of work you've had done to you car over the last few days. I love it how everyone chips in to help. I feel all lonely up here with the only M35 in the area.

Anyway, it sounds like you're progressing well, and fast. Look forward to the reading about the rest of the mods.

how much to make me one? i was thinking about buying on

in other news, i grabbed some of the GW syn-x 3000 this arvo, $32 for a semi syn - will see how it goes tmrw

also grabbed a meguires clay bar kit thing, should have super shiny paint soon :D

Ha ha, yeah the gaurd rail won. I actually felt really good at the time, straightened my back and neck out. Anyway time to get rid of it though i have to drive the gtr to work now til i get another daily.

Kinda ironic cause i had new wheels and tyres (volk ce28n in other post) that ive been holding of fitting cause i didnt wan2 scratch them, if i didnt have bald tyres on at the time it would of never happened.

Oh well shit happens.

well i got up late this morning, and was already late for work so thought f**k it, im gonna fit this grill

looks good, im kind of happy i didnt colour match as now it works well with the ARX gaynus styled moustache :ph34r:

tell me what you think?

I also think the ARX has a gay moustache...thumbsup.gif

    • 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.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
