people feel that they're fiddly things, when adjusting gains and etc.

but everything that comes out of japan is fiddly. lol people should deal with it.

Yeah mostly I think it is people not reading the manual and/or taking the time to set them up properly. It's not quite as simple as "I WANT 20psi, K.. GO!"

Also, some think they can't handle huge boost and prefer to go for the Blitz dual solenoid units. The theory there is that the dual solenoids can handle fast ramping, huge boost setups better.

Got it thumbsup.gif I dont see either of those issues being of particular concern to me - but good to know! cheers.gif

Defiantly are not plug and play.....took about half an hour of run's to set it up in Andy's car yesterday!...mainly because it takes so long to get to 60km/h :P

thats normal though, like bubba said, you cant just input 20psi n say go. 30minutes is actually pretty good.

Did the RDA slotted rotors and EBC pads (red at the front, green at the rear) tonight; and a full bleed of the brakes. Waaaaaaaaaay more bite. Good upgrade, very straight forward :thumbsup: and, no brake squeal! :worship:

I did the same thing 2 months ago on my r32 GTR callipers, those RDA slotted rotors are great, no warp at all when you heat them up. I used the QFM A1rm's and they bite well, better than my EBC reds. Once they are hot though, my god they pull up! Better than any brakes I have felt before.

+1 for the QFM A1RM's

I wasn't really a fan of the EBC's as when I bought a set they would dust something shocking, and this dust would EAT the wheels! Pads were pretty good. Pretty average when cold though!

Dunc, just make sure you change your fluid to something with a slightly higher boiling point. The increase efficiency of the pads at operating temperature means you are bouncing up closer to the boiling point of standard brake fluids, giving your nice new pads a squishy pedal!

We bled them and put in a mid range PBR fluid; nothing too extravegant but better than what you'd get if you took it to a generic mechanic. I had the 'faded brakes' convo with my mate whilst we were doing the brakes, he felt pretty comfortable that what we were doing would be fine thumbsup.gif.

Even when cold, the new setup felt like it had a heap more stopping power than what I was driving this time yesterday - but given I changed so many components at once I wouldnt be so bold as to attribute it to 1 particular bit; as a whole - the system is working nicely. I'll keep an eye out for that brake dust though pirate.gif

The dreaded cold start ethanol issues? You may just need more fuel at cold start, do you have the Emanage software working yet? See if the temp sensor is hooked up to it mate. Not hard to fiddle with it...

Why is yours clogged? What's the symptoms?

I'm having cranking issues in the morning. Do I need extra volts to the fuel pump? New filter?

nah no problems for me.. just wanna get one so after the 2nd tank of ethanol i can change the filter, it cleans the tank..

well we all were having cranking issues and popping on Idle.

get some air flow meter cleaner, and clean the AFM.

Fixed my problem instantly.

    • 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.
