Lol, but how would I get the cams to work?

VQ25 FTW... :thumbsup:

Just sleeve yours out! Wouldn't that work? Then just use some of the darton sleves with some bigger pistons / tomei rods and bolt it all back with your heads.

Work or not?

Your growing an engine farm down there, so just build one of the spare short blocks!:P

I could sleeve it out, I have a 3.5 engine here too, but why would I want a longer stroke or a larger piston when i'm making 335kw already? C'mon mate you really need to catch up... :nyaanyaa:

I will probably drop the 2.5dd in if this engine ever retires. High comp, e85 and direct water injection to control the piston temps. :whistling:

Did you want the dyno queen status, or want me to go faster than 13.9? tongue.gif

Hahaha. Think your car is good for it Alex? Wind the wick up and see what she will do, you got to beat 13.5. Can you take off with wheelspin yet? >_<

My takeoff would be fixed by simply opening up the stator on the torque converter but I don't want to go down that path. I want a fast street car not drag.

Lol. Yeah it actually does it I launch it with full boost. Maybe a product of the single spinner buttongue.gif

I have too much mechanical sympathy to flog it hard. I'm going to order some stuff, and then back to the tuner. Might go to the track in between though. Craig has to get to the tuner- cause he want to post a time too with the emanage in.

Was looking at my rear badge i removed and found a better spot for it

Painted the slats after the side rear windows black and the lower section of the dayz rear bar black also.

and in an attempt to get to the bottom of why my rear sunroof doesn't quite seal all they way, i fully stripped my rear interior. Haven't started looking into rear sunroof yet LOL

Car needs a bloody good wash now but i'm buggered. fk it

Be interested to see more photos of the roof when you get time. Don't you hate it how you have to start from the bottom and work your way up.

Haven't fully removed roof lining yet but am going to. Here is shot of the rear roof section that i've removed the lining from.

I was a little frustrated at first and then I quite enjoyed stripping everything out as there was alot of heavy stuff !! I also found a japanese receipt under the rear seat (anyone know what it is from ?)

post-58831-0-44875800-1333965787_thumb.jpg

I also sanded and polished my neo badge as it was unrecognisable !

what did you use on it? mine looks pretty crappy too

also, i think that receipt could be for fuel

I first used 1200 sandpaper on a block of cork. Then I used a scotch brite pad with autosol, lastly autosol and a rag. I also polished up a dull front head light with autosol and a polish mop on my 18v ryobi drill.

Fuel receipt eh ? cool !

Before with tomei M7655 twins which were laggy and very tame onto boost

Now with the GT3582R (.82) rear, precision 48mm waste gate ,Platinum Pro ecu, 044 fuel pump and ID1000's. Should be a big improvement. hope the clutch holds up

Booked into Tuner on the 24th may

New hi-flow turbo in transit to me so was under the car to pull out the old one with the blown oil seal. The first thing I see was a split drivers side CV boot & the grease spun out everywhere. Great just what I need - more work.

Then, over on the passenger side I see this:

post-76144-0-55482900-1334376817_thumb.jpg

I wonder how this got knocked out of centre?? So, what's the recommended fix? (Big hammer, lol).

Found a small stone chip in my drivers side headlight today. Fuuuuuu.....

Considering the $2500 cost from Nissan, I've live with it. Its small and over the indicator, no hole or anything just a little crack.

Felt so sorry for it, spent the next 45mins or so polishing up the headlights to keep that nasty yellow shit away. :rolleyes:

That is exactly the same as my passenger side. Im putting in new ones tomorrow I just had to wait to get on a hoist. I wouldn't bother hitting it I hit mine back and within 2 days it was back.

Yep; the centre has been torn out of that bush. She's f**ked.

Leon, I've got a fresh set of Whiteline ones that were due to go into my car shortly; if you like, PM me, and I'll send 'em up. :thumbsup:

    • 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.
