haven't changed anything....And I don't get a constant figure either...jumps from as low as 11.x to 13.x as a rev higher

Below 2.5k rpm its like 15-6ish :ph34r:

WTF is happening...

You got a leak somewhere?

Just installed the USA-spec pa15-nis. Very easy plug and play set up, only 3 plugs.

The sound is awesome as I expected. I can't recommend this enough to anyone (like me) that's wants to keep the factory single din stereo to keep it intergrated with the factory tv screen and wants to add in an iPod/iPhone to it. You can also add another audio device into the unit.

Music is all control either via the factory head unit or the iPod/iPhone itself and it charges them.

Only $160ish delivered via eBay out of the US.

Just took the car in for a wheel alignment, front bushes and ball joints are knackered.

I know SuperPro do the bushes, but anyone know where I can get the replacement ball joints?

Washed my filthy car today.rolleyes.gif

I've been looking at foam lances for a while now for my Karcher; prices ranged from $200 odd blink.gif to just under $75 delivered (UK). These are pro quality items, and you can adjust how much foam you actually get.

Anyway, I saw this at Bunnings; http://www.karcher.com.au/aus/Products/Home__Garden/Accessories.htm?&sdp=ac&pid=26418480&accessoriesGroupName=Special+applications&pn=Foam+nozzle%2C+0.3+litre&title=Foam+nozzle%2C+0.3+litre&refP=%2Faus%2FProducts%2FHome__Garden%2FAccessories.htm%3F%26accGrNm%3D10011604__Special%2520applications

2641848_popup.jpg It has a 300mL cup and was only $15!

It works great! Took a little fine tuning to get the mix right; and you need to work fast in the foaming stage, (the cup empties fairly quickly) but now I'm foaming like a rabid monkey!banana.gif

For anyone who's wondering; the foam softens the muck on the paint better than just hosing; allowing you to pressure wash off most of the stuff that scratches the paint when you manually wash.

The more you can get off without touching the paint; the less fine scratches you put on the car. On a black car it makes a big difference to how often you need to do paint correction.

New front upper control arms with nolathane rubbers (or SuperPro????) for my NM35 today at Wholesale Suspension, Penrith, NSW.

This was on top of replacing the lower ones abt 6 weeks ago (by Jetwreck). The knock in the suspension had gone away but came back

again after a while, particularly when under heavy braking.

Picked the car up from Pedders, rear is dumped, but only just level with the front. Weird... but can't go any lower on the rear. Haven't measured yet though.

Got my new blow off valve in the mail today, Turbosmart Nissan specific dual port. Nicely made unit. Fit it this afternoon, not too hard, just had a higher pick up for the hose. Set it up as plumb back, and set it as stiff as it went.

Gives a fair bit of flutter, but other than that is all good. Will back off the stiffness in the morning and see if that lessens the flutter. Main thing is it fixes the 'farting', guess I'll find out over the weekend, with a drive to McLaren Vale and back.

Picked up my car from All Type today. Largely happy with the job, would have liked them to touch up the car more, but I think I always knew that the job wouldn't be up to my standards..

Grille is painted and fitted. Wing will go on tomorrow when I get some adhesive rubber stuff for it.

anyone seens pics of a stag with big wheel flares?

Like this?:whistling:

Ghetto; but pretty cool...

Edited by Daleo

yep, that is indeed a good start. too small but at least it gives an idea of how they would look.

actually that looks like a well built car at a glance

Lol, I was only really referring to the exterior; rivetted on flares over the existing rear doors, etc.

Everything under the skin is beautifully fabricated.:thumbsup: Definitely has attitude.

ahh yeah, some practicality lost, but otherwise it's pretty good. I like a home built race car, they can have heaps of good ideas. Like the rear door on that one for instance

    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
    • The stock manifold is "mostly" divided. The divider actually has a notch cut out of it where it would meet the divider on a twin scroll housing. I have no idea why. But whatever the reason, it would cause some cross talk when used with a twin scroll housing. People do put twin scroll housings onto that manifold. But I'm of the opinion that proper twin scroll internal gating is...not really possible at this scale. You'd be throwing good effort (ie $$) after bad, when you really should be doing something else. Notwithstanding that.... I am not sure what the idea that you are floating has to do with the difference in comp cover position caused by the highflow using a shorter length core than the stock Hitachi one. Can you clarify what you meant?
