So Tonkins don't recommend alloy ones at all. I brought it up a few times and every time he just told me to replace it with a standard one. His main argument is that they cost lots of money and if they leak they can't repair them.

FYI: Koyo V2588 from Street to Track for $545 delivered, Mishimoto MMRAD-G35-03 $475 delivered.

Still not sure what to do!

Umm, have they heard of welding?

Your cars white, it doesnt show the dirt like a dark colour. Mine had gone probably 2 months without a wash :ninja:

I guess aiming for around 8am? Far too early for a Saturday. Given they wanted to run all the AWD's first, and theres still a few gaps early on - Id suggest we may get bumped 'earlier' to fill those gaps.

8am is way early, i'll have to leave the dirty south before 7 am!!!! on a saturday!!!! GAYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!

But a new plan is forming..... finish work at midnight, drive to gillman, sleep in stagea, make noise on dyno, laugh at pitiful power figuresthumbsup.gif

A crap alloy radiator is worse than the stock one apparently, they must be multiple pass for the higher cooling effect to be considered an upgrade.

I think they are saying if the fins leak they cant braze them whereas the stock one can be?

V35 Koyo rad ordered. Taking suggestions on trans coolers. Is it worth getting one with a thermostat so the oil warms quickly on the cold mornings?

Does your new radiator have a section to cool the transmission like the stock one?

If it does when you install the trans cooler just make sure it is still using this part of the radiator before going into your transcooler and the engine will warm the trans oil.

Nope, very few of the options do unfortunately.

fitted my z32 and nistune tonight, havent started it yet as its like mid night and my wife is sleeping. hopefully it runs in the morning as i need it. does anyone know if i have to remove the plennum to change the injectors?

SAUSA Dyno Day today, made 161kW and 566NM at 15PSI. Stock bar the exhaust and Blitz panel filter.

Then sold the Pimptara while I was half way through cleaning it! Score! Sold for a bit less than I wanted but rego was due tomorrow. Oh well.

Gotta be happy with that, hey.:thumbsup: . And I mean both bits of news.

Happier with the torque tbh. Already planning more mods! MOAR POWAH!!! As for the Pimptara, not really happy about it. Grew very attached to that car, lost heaps on it, and the guy who bought it was a bit of a dropkick.

Got the Emanage Thursday, so by the next dyno day should have a bit more.

What was interesting was I made more torque and had more boost than Dunc with his highflow, intercooler, etc, but I was down 16 (I think?) kW.

That torque isn't correct. That's tractive effort not engine crank torque.

A very good power result none the less.

Is it all wheel kw or rwkw?

We ran back to back, so I wouldve thought the torque readings would be comparable? Not my forte unfortunately.

I made 177.7 awkw though, it was an awd dyno. My AFR's are essentially a flat 10, boost peaks shy of 15psi. Things to work out :thumbsup:

They may be comparable on that day on that dyno but it's still not crank torque. It's tractive effort, being the effort it takes via the wheels to turn the rollers, this is different to a true crank torque. I would assume it would be mid 400 nm at crank at that power level given stock is 410nm. You simply won't gain over 150nm from an exhaust and filter.

What mods do you have for 177.7awkw? If you lean the mixture to a safe 12:1 you will see some extra power.

Well done, nice results.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
