I replaced my castor bushings with superpro ones. When getting an alignment done, the castor was slightly different between the wheels but it hasn't proven to be a big deal. However if I were to replace the bushes again I would have just bought adjustable arms.

That must make it Adelaide cruise time! There are a few people keen for a Feb cruise.

I did really exciting things to my car: I retuned the throttle. *YAWN* Feels better though.

Omg a m35 has new wheels def time for a adelaide cruise lmao

Nah they look good dunc cant wait to see them on .

But all jokes aside def time for a adelaide cruise

Considering he's had the car off the road for months and missed a years worth of cruises, I think it's warranted.

Lol i love stirring 35 boys up always get a bite, hey my car was off the road for 9 mths came back on with engine transplant 19" wheels an 340kw. So hell yeah lets cruise lol its warranted lol.

This :) (yes my car needs a clean, and yes its black, Haven't looked for a matching grey paint yet).

I run one of these on my head unit.

Micro SD to USB adaptor.

So neat and out of the way. Less likely to knock it and bust your usb input port. It barely sticks out lol.

Neat job you did on the gauge intstall and surround.

I received a red and yellow box today with the same two letters repeated. Wating on another box to arrive with HKB on it.

Thanks guys :)

Yeah made it up, was quite a bit of work.

Just a few pics from the weekends work;

@Jezboosted Thats handy :) I'm going to a difference system all together so no more of this front usb crap I can't stand it getting it the way of my cup holders when i throw a maccas cup in there haha.

Spent 3 hours with a red sharpie permanent marker fixing the sun-bleached red stitching because my car has spent soooooo much time sitting in the sun at my mech having work done. That, and the fact that I only have a carport available until my under-house 4 car spots are ready...

On a brighter not, my internals arrived on Monday and went straight to the machine shop, where my block is waiting: hopefully I'll be looking at an almost complete engine in the next week, then it's being on the run-in week of driving pleasure!!

Destroyed a new $1600 clutch at willowbank last night! Whatever holds the throw out bearing in the pressure plate (pull type clutch) decided to fail

So started the process of pulling out the box, had to cut the front drive shaft bolts with a grinder because a un named favorite business on here who fitted the clutch rounded the nuts off.

took out the gauge cluster out of the m35 (volts boost torque) removed the boost and installed a 30psi autometer one in its place. works a treat and for the first time since scotty did all the mods i know how much boost its running hahah

get a hdi EBC with digital gauge.

Craig had nothing but problems with his HDI and I am now of the opinion a good mechanical option is best. He already has my HD actuator fitted, and the manual bleeder is a solid performer. No need for the defectable electronic options imo, even though they allow slightly better response. (due to the little spike they give.)

Although, some EBC's have an overboost warning, this is more important than a boost gauge I feel.

+1

No difference in performance between the hdi and turbosmart T.....Ive been swapping between tge 2 for weeks.

The only really difference is the hdi spikes like a mofo and the T maintains control.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
