1J and 2 J's are a proven engine. VQ's are only in the early stage's being a new engine. Sorry that was my toyota side. Split personallity there guys.It will be interesting to see how the VQ30 powered 300zx will go at this years time attack in sydney. should be a great event again. Ok back to topic. I guess ive only put my stagea into the gearbox place to get the slipping box fixed. Bring on the warrenty repairs.

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:

Yeah no worries its not far from home we can call in after the cruise. Id be keen to look at the exhaust. Im in need of one in the future.

Just purchased a new front diff!!!! 3.538 ratio ftw!!!! Just gotta find a rear now....should make it punch out of the hole even better :P

3.54 appears to be the standard ratio for your cars. Have you bought a different one or is your car not currently 3.54 final drive?

OK looks like n/a had 3.54 and turbos 3.13

Let me know if you have trouble finding a rear diff as the majority of NM35s in this country are n/a and I'm sure I could find you one if you want.

thanks for the offer on that.....but I will be chasing 3.538's with LSD and I am pretty sure that the only Stagea that came with a 3.538 LSD was the PM35 AR-X!....If you find one of those that's wrecking it would be great......the 350Z MT and V35 MT both have the diff I need so hopefully I should be able to trip over one soon.

I am hoping this will ratio change will give the gearbox a little less of a hard time.....and also give me some more mumbo all around.

I got my car back! :banana:

Exhaust and dump have transformed it. More low end pull, spools up faster, absolutely hammers. Looks the goods too with twin 3" titanium outlets.

Only issue at the moment is its too bloody loud! But we will fix that shortly.

Hooked up the informeter, pleasantly surprised it just works.

Will get some exhaust pics when I get home from work (and we have some daylight). Then in goes the Nismo dash, and a proper mounting spot for the Informeter.

No idea... I definitely won't be complaining about it being too quiet! It can be heard from Japan!

you shouldve gone a Jazma cat back system from Jap and had your exhasut shop make up a dump/front pipe.

mine is 80mm straight through from the turbo to tip. and its still really quiet.(FWIW) .. lol you can actually see from one end of my exhaust to the other lol.

I'll video it tonight..

even cam's noticed it and Cam's picky with this stuff, but he even said.. for a straight through its fairly quiet.

sounds nice on full throttle as well.

    • 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.
