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;

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.

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
