Correct, no use going to a DYNO unless you have a method of tuning.

However, reset your ECU so you can more easily feel the difference made by the exhaust, rather than waiting for it to adjust slowly as it learns.

The 25G was driven out of the garage yesterday. It has all its bits on. I am going to call him Joseph. Silver guards, white bonnet, S2 rad support and when I get time a red rear bar.

Have completed all the paperwork to pursue the matter for costs, it goes through QCAT here in sunny Qld, which has replaced the Small Claims Court. When and IF I get a settlement I will have it "refinished". I think that is newspeak for respray.

Thanks to all the guys who helped This Forum has saved me heaps over the years.

This post is useless with pics!

Show us Joseph!

Anytime. Glad to hear it's out of the garage.

On Friday, I decided to remove the foglights mounted on the bumper as they are just slowly getting stonechipped and I never use them.

After removing the front bar, I was shocked to see that my front reo bar was damaged. This was damaged when I got reversed into, and was not replaced by the repairer. I have taken photo's and will contact JustCar and see what is the go from here.

Anyhoo, I have always been interested in where the AC get's it's outside temp reading from but could never find it. Well I found it while the front bar was off didn't I and I moved it ! But to where you ask ? no ? ok fine....

Well I want to know what the air temp is my engine is sucking in so I placed it right next to the air filter.

The only thing I can think of as a downside is that the Auto AC setting will be going off that sensor, but i even have plans to get more of these temp sensors, wire them all in earthed to a rotating or multipole switch and then I can choose the sensor and push the button to see the readout :D All will be sweeeeeet

Oh and I painted my grill black. Ugly grille still ugly, just black :D

You can see the damaged reo bar on drivers side, and i also brightened the air temp sensor location

New position of air temp sensor

Tadaa

Looks good mate ^^

Put in new platinum plugs and hardrace adjustable castor rods. More response with the plugs and much better steering response with the new castor rods. Will be doing new rack ends and tie rod ends soon along with slip on lock spacers as the stagea can't turn for shit. Already smoothed off the steering knuckle knob which made a big difference with lock but the rack is out if travel so these spacers will help. Cv joint angle looks ok still while spinning which is my biggest concern.

Thank you Davey. CV angle is a concern of mine too with the amount of k's I do. I recently just put in bcpr's and tapped em to .8mm car runs so crisp. Will look into platinums though for next change. You are spot on about the hardrace adj. castor rods. They are indeed the next thing I am purchasing handling wise. I unfortunately know nothing about "smoothed off the steering knuckle knob" so I will look into this. Do you have any more info on this and the slip on lock spacers etc ? I will go searching now :D

coppers give better spark than platinum

iridiums come close to copper but with the service life of platinum

also, that black grille looks pretty good

i might have to get some plastiwrap and do mine similar to that

i love how even the reo is yellow lol

Oops I ment the lock stops. Grind them off the steering knuckle. I am taking a guess and got the slip on lock spacers from GKtec to suit Nissan. Should be the same as silvias/skylines

I changed from .8 to 1.1 may have some difference?

First oil change since new turbo went on, and fresh oil in both diffs.

Diff oils came out very clean, but both magnetic drain plugs had a decent amount of filings; possibly not cleaned at last interval. :unsure:

Wats new in my stagea life. Well just got home from picking up my second stagea. The auto my fiancé will be driving. So those in adelaide if u see her don't hesitate to wave. And I have just purchased a manual one. Pics will be up when she gets a clean. And then I'll be looking into wheels for the new girl :)

Yea it's a s2 rs4s. :) and yea looking around but thinking more akin lines of 9" rather the. 9.5" but I'll see Wat I can afford at the time. As not going cheap

18x9.5 +12 for the manual stagea (assuming c34)

/wheel dimension dilemmas

Seems to be the perfect fit for a stagea!

Has anyone had problems with these size wheels and hitting the front inner guards? (When lowered)

Yea it's a s2 rs4s. :) and yea looking around but thinking more akin lines of 9" rather the. 9.5" but I'll see Wat I can afford at the time. As not going cheap

a set of rota wheels will set you back around $1k + $500ish for tyres in that size for some cheapies

in a 9 you'd want something like a +10 but anything around there will sit well

I run 18x9 GTR wheels with 235/35/18 tyres and they lightly rub the inner guard liner at full lock. Not enough to worry about though

your an auto are you not duncan, so you'd be pretty flush on the rear but inset on the front, going from a +30 (stock gtr offset) to +12 would probably make it flush and stop the rubbing

in other news, i just ordered a cusco rear strut brace and a mate should be picking up my new front sway bar for me soon :)

Then i'll only have to wait till mid november to drive my car again, getting pretty bored with just driving the gf's R31

Spent an hour or three pull off bits to get down to the knock sensor in the V of the block in my ARX. Computer attached to car to diagnose why it was running very rich and had retarded timimg came back with - "faulty knock sensor". Was assured by mechanic it was definitely faulty not a loose or otherwise bad connection.

Have a look at the attachment and you will see a nest made of firewall material and chewed conductors. The mouse trap is artistic licence.

Thanks to Scott I found my way down to the problem and now know a bit more about how it is put together. Hope not to have any left over parts when it goes back together tomorrow - once I repair the cable.

    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
