When did u get the emu Leon?

What EMU? It's more like a kangaroo lol.

I think I've been misunderstood somewhere along the line. I've only got the stock ECU & no Emanage. In fact all my testing is done on a stock car except for a turbo back 3" exhaust.

I was trying to beat the throttle restriction via a DIY "backyard" mod and I thought I had it beat last night after a cracking drive. But this afternoon when I took it out again I had gremlins in the system. So now I'm not convinced.

As you may appreciate, I've been thinking, measuring, researching etc this for some time & so when I come to write up my findings it's taking me a while to type it out.

Since I don't have a magic fix for everyone right now (like I thought i did last nite & this morning), I've decided to throw it open to others for their input & I'm happy to do more R & D and testing.

I'll be starting a new thread a bit later (tonite I hope) with all relevant info & we will see how it progresses.

Cheers.

Yeah, that might prove to be a good idea. I'll get back to you if I need it.

Thanks.

Took the Daily to Winton instead of the usual Track car, did a 1:48.5440 which was great fun, though it drinks like Fatz when being punted hard :P

mate sent me a pic of your car parked near his (Grey Evo 8MR)

good to see stags getting out on the track, might have to put mine out there soon

Pretty good time for an overweight barge! :worship:What tyres are you running?

Crappy ones that came with the car :P Supercats I think, not exactly grippy, but meh, good enough to roll around on and I wasn't there to break records. Car is VERY safe to drive on the limit, but with more grip and more roll stiffness I reakon I could get it down to maybe a 1:45, shift kit and LARGE transmission cooler with water spray might also be necessary, so not gonna happen .... yet ;)

Informeter turned up, wired up and ready to install.

But best part is...

MY FLANGES ARE HERE!!!!!

Being the first M35 for AM Performance, I've had to wait for everything you usually wouldn't, including getting the flanges laser cut. Making it easier for the next person through!

Should be ready to pick up tomorrow or Sunday (might have to beg Brad to give me a lift to pick it up :worship: ) and sounds like it'll be worth the wait. Straight through 3" no restriction :banana:

Iain, AM Performance wanted to start doing M35 exhausts, so they're using my car to develop the jigs etc. I've asked for an exhaust which doesn't drone on highways, and have been told not to complain if it's too quiet :whistling:

They're custom making the whole system, from the turbo back, and will sell it in sections so you can buy a dump, mid or end pipe. I'm really impressed with the way Andrew makes them, he can make a straight through exhaust and uses special sound deadening material to make his own muffler around the outside (or inside, depending on what you want, this is what he does on R32 GT-R exhausts and it looks amazing!).

I'll have photos when he's done if you're keen. Best part is I know its great quality, and I can spec it how I like, so I'm getting it slightly customised.

You got an external wastegate Aaron?

He wishes. :P

He went for a stage 2 Sierra highflow, now he has boost spike issues as the stock wastegate was way too small. (so is the housing) I opened it up for him a few mm and it made no difference, it needs a larger wastegate flap.

lol. I have no idea about external wastegates, seem pretty costly. Can't he just fit an external wastegate if the stock wastegate is way too small?

Hurry up with the Garrett Scott! I'm going to need a new turbo, and your route sounds heaps better than a high flow!

It is, but I have a T18 in the driveway getting a vvti 1J shoehorned into it. Lots of fabrication work to do. Perhaps I will push it into the street and do my fuel system first. lol.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      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.
