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.

past week stag has seen new Tein coils courtesy of streeter, ganador mirros and ordered my new headunit with reverse cam, digital tv, nav ect ect :-)

What did you order? I'm still looking for something with similar features...

i have a spare throttle body if you want one off the car to play with?

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.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
