Had a 70% (?) tune done on Saturday.

No a full tune as we had fuel failure, either filter or pump :(

On the plus side, no more "boost/fuel/air flow/whatever you wanna call it" cut and a different throttle feel.

Throttle is a bit soggier at the moment, but at least I know it can definitely be modified :whistling:

Good stuff matethumbsup.gif

Looking forward to hearing the end result! Hope all goes well.

Deatschwerks 600cc, about $100 each when shipping is added on.

Wow, not cheap. I could have gotten you ID 1000's for that mate. Do these have the stock denso plug though? Im guessing thats why you bought them?

Gave the car an oil and filter change..

Whilst there also installed with the help of Craig (or should I say I helped him) a replacement actuator with spring tension..

This is a great mod... :)

Had to turn the boost down as was holding 20psi to red line.

The improvement is very noticeable with the motor being less peaky and drives much more linear from a stop to the top end of the rev range. :banana:

Grab a Nissan genuine filter and I use a 10w-40 or 5w-40 oil, the brand is up to your liking as this question starts world war 3 on forums, along with asking the frequency of changes.

Too true. The above is the general concensus, you want a minimum Group IV oil. I go for Motul 300v and Im fine with Ryco filters (445 I think is the specific model/size)

I've always found Ryco filters overpriced for average quality. I've got a Nismo filter on at the moment, which seems fine, and about to change it for a HKS one when I do my oil change. Going to try the 300v eventually, not sure whether to do it this change for the track day or use the leftover Valvoline first.

So I finished fitting the intercooler today. Not a great idea to do while you've got a cold/flu thing, but I needed to get it done and the car mobile again.

While I was at it I threw all the black clips on the front bar in the bin, and replaced them with brand new ones I bought on ebay. I also soldered the pins on the factory boost sensor at the same time, so the boost gauge works again (finally!).

Only thing is I've now got a bit of white smoke. Not sure if it's burning off the excess WD40 I used on the silicon joiners or what, but hopefully it goes away after a bit of a drive.

Paint not to your standards? :nyaanyaa:

Haha smart arse.

If you're going down the Ryco route though, there are other people who produce filters cheaper which are just as good if not better.

And if we're going to have a discussion on paint I'm not sure I'm a fan of the bright pink HKS filter :P

$50-$100 gamble over a potential $2,500 loss!!!!spank.gif

BTW - NEO is $112 delivered to you door for 5LT's!!!!.....the only other oil I would use would be Royal Purple....Motul while good fall's short of both the NEO and Royal Purple IMO!

LET THE OIL WAR"S BEGIN!!!!!!! BAHHHHAAAAAAHHHHHAAAAAAA

He runs the NEO oil.

I'm trying to work out what physical difference there is, and I can see the Motul 300v is more viscous than the Royal Purple, but haven't worked out any other significant differences.

I can't find the NEO datasheet - their own web site doesn't even list a 10w40 anymore...

I sent a snapshot of the tin to Cam recently...I'll post it up next time I remember...I also run a Nismo Oil filter......$10-$15 extra doesn't bother me either.

Are these M35/V35 specific? Is there a long wait time on them? I was really hoping to change the oil this weekend..

      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.
