Been running it on united 100 since i've been back, its the same price in Qld as 91 octane is in Tas haha

It's been pulling to the left since i nudged a kerb pretty hard even after a wheel alignment or two

and has a rattle over uneven road that i swore was sway bar links but its still there even (but quieter now) after the new whiteline links

so i took it into Pedders today for a $14 check

rack bushes and caster bushes are soft apparently and thats it

so will go for some adjustable caster bushes and nolathane rack bushes

other than that, the front sway bar is going pretty well, rear bar may be on order soon

found a seller in the us who can do it for around $220 delivered: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/370691983118?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_6027wt_1055

took the stagea out yesterday damn have i missed driving it, going to retune it to put it on bp ultimate though

Moving from E85 to BP Ultimate - why?

Lots.

Needs more info.

I fixed my coolant leak, and refitted the strut brace. Car is f**king awesome.

Dropped past Autobarn to pick up the rest of what I needed for the radiator install - coolant, distilled water, a drip tray, fan controller, adaptor for the BSP fitting, and a couple of hose clamps.

Headed home and started to fit the fan controller before I realised it was a POS. Cables are retardedly short, and the BSP temp sensor fell apart. Returning tomorrow.

Also pulled the front bar off, and the lights out to fit the LED parkers I've had lying around for ages. Found it was easier to spend 2 minutes pulling the bar off to replace the parkers than spend 20 minutes trying to dick around in the front wheel well. Looks pretty awesome.

where i live there is no e85 its totally outa my way considering we use the car everyday

Good reason, but begs the question why you set it up on E85 in the first place...? I bet you spent too much time talking to Scotty, lol.

There is a United on Princess just near your place apparently, otherwise it's just down the road in Springvale, or Blackburn road... Sounds like excuses to me. lol.

Threw a new pair of rear tyres on mine today; the new turbo definitely sorts out treadwear...

I know your fastidious, but if you haven't had a good alignment lately, might be worth checking one out.

I had a shed load of rear toe in, and it has worn my rears quite significantly compared to the fronts. Swapped them to the fronts to try and get some more milage post alignment.

Lol, by the time I saw how much wear there was on the rears, it wasn't worth rotating them.

I've got a set of SPC toe & caster eccentric bolt kits to go in, but haven't had time to fit them...

Might need to book a slot at the Nismo bro Stagea workshop to get up on the hoist with a die grinder.

Once they're in, I can set toe & camber to somewhere slightly more neutral.

I have a set here too but i'm too scared to wreck the subframe. (even though I have a spare here.) Make Craig take pics like the bi*ch he is.

I did mine with an Ozito replica dremel lying under the car on the floor of my driveway. :O

A hoist is a great idea, let me tell you.

What's your worry?

You're only elongating tue slotted holes that already exist. A man of your skills should be able to sort that.

If you don't like them you can always refit the OEM stuff.

Spoolin - ive got a bit of a bone to pick with you over those RSR springs.. they squeek like f**k and make noises daily and you charged me more for these crappy second hand springs than they even were new from import monster with shipping...

again.. watch out for dodgy f**ks on here.. selling you shit thats simply not worth it.

Did you wrap the top and bottoms with coil tape? This is to stop squeaking springs you know...

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
