More work done by Craig this arvo.

The lower front control arms (or are they ball joints???) were replaced due some very worn rubber. Endless clunking on every road,

probably would on glass if I could try some.

Exchanged them for some new ones with purple natholane or urethane rubber. Can't remember the name of the product.

The car has been transformed yet again. Just like a new one, even better. :banana:

Craig has a great setup with the workshop, so as Molly Meldrum used to say....

"Do ya selves a favour and check it out!!!"

Needless to say, this is a very good replacement and the workshop setup is excellent.

I might just get him to do all the work on my car :worship:

Rear rotors turned up today, another set of DBA 4000 Clubspec T3s :banana:

Now have everything for the brake upgrade, just waiting till the shocks turn up. Which I'm still waiting for.

Wish I'd done a bit more research before I ordered. If I'd known then what I know now, I never would have ordered from STT. It's $100 saving, and it's a total joke. Not worth it. :spank:

Just made up a cool air box as the rb26 runs a bit hot and under the bonnett is pretty high temperatures

It is fed through the vent on the nismo front - I made a sealed ducting in glass fibre and enlarged the size of the hole up to the filter area.

Fabricated a barrier out of carbon sheet so that the pipes and filters go through and are sealed with heat reflective gold on the engine side

I have never liked the sealed top so spent a fair amount of time cutting the top to the profile of the bonnett and then used a door seal which slips nicely over the cardon and seals to the bonnett "carpet"

BTW the washer bottle was replaced by a tank that also is an alloy catchtank.

That is now where the battery was which has relocated to inside the rear wing - fits a treat

I'm sure they will come - sucks to hear about everything that has happened but I don't think the guy is a scammer.

Picked up Slippy's r33 gtst brake kit last night. Not sure when they will go on.

Yeah got the tracking number this morning. I don't think the guy is a scammer either, but he is an absolute joke. I can't recommend highly enough that people stay away.

There goes your fuel economy Iain! Is the AFM the same as the PNM35?

lol just a short drive to the city this morning and i used a lot of fuel

nah its the same as a t30 xtrail - 22680-6N211

thats for the hotwire only, not the whole tube - which isnt required anyway

You might want to post that in the info thread or on the Awesome forum, with a key word to make it easy to find.:thumbsup:

Cost of the Entrail AFM?

ill be doing that mate, also with a diasnosis and what to do when it happens to you in the middle of the bush in coffs harbour on a dirt track :P

Crank it till it starts, put put along at 2200rpm till you make it back to home? :P First time I killed my AFM I'd been on some dusty roads not too long prior to it letting go also incidentally.

the mechanic suggested i put some vaso around the airfilter to stop dust getting around the rubber seal as its not 100% sealed.

when i opened the airbox yesterday, there was dust inside, after the filter.

so when going on dusty roads, do that i rekon!

is this FYI enough for everyone??

dont joke about that! i think i set the record for longest journey without an AFM on an AFM equipped car lol

No doubt, you obliterated my 100km trek back home! Still dont know how you managed that!

550km+

the nissan dealers said the part was overnight from sydney, so i decided i was heading there anyway.

you will probably find it was "the exact" part that they were going to ship to Coff's as what you have in your car atm......$350 shipping...LOL!

Has anyone on here done a track day in their M35?

I know Craig has, but I'm doing one in November and I'm trying to work out if I need to fit an oil and trans cooler beforehand. I know it's a good idea to have them anyway, but I need to work out if I have to or not.

Anyone run round a track without these coolers?

Give me a call....I'll talk you through it ryan.

There is a few things that I did to ensure nothing broke or cooked.

Had an alarm fitted to the M35 today by John at Marveytech. Great price and quality work as usual.

If your in Adelaide and need an alarm fitted to your M35, go see him as you won't be dissapointed.

Sittin here watching "Late show with Craig Ferguson" thought I'd share

Bought a couple of Drift seats a while back, recently bought some universal seat rails off RoadsterGarage. Thanks Adam.

I'm in the process of fitting the passenger side, with custom mounts. Slow process cause of my accident but I'm enjoying the whole process of finding what works and what doesnt.

Below is one of the seats.

first attempt at mounting brackets.......Too high (FAIL)

Left rear mounting bracket (I know my welding is shyte, but thats what happens when the power keeps tripping out) :angry:

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
