They installed a Turbosmart Boost Tee that day because the EBC was playing up... I can't really tell you how it is hooked up sorry :/

Other mods are:

Greddy Front Mount Intercooler

3" Full stainless steel Fujitsubo exhaust and stainless steel front pipe with 3" Venom 200cpi hi-flow cat

Nistune ECU

Nismo High-Flow Volume Fuel Pump

HKS Panel Filter

well it is definately an issue with the boost controller or it's plumbing, hopefully they aren't getting you to pay for labour while they learn to do it properly. Boost control is a pretty simple system

Just got some Michelin Pilot Sport 3s put on my car and a full alignment - it already feels like I'm going to love these tyres! More compliant than the Federal 595s, decently quiet (roughly the same as the Feds), and very confidence inspiring so far. Can't wait to put some kays on them and give them some more stick and also try them in the wet.

Lol dude, same here.

One of my all time, least favourite bike tyres...

+1 for that had them years ago on zzr swore i would not have them again then when i got my old gsxr it had them on it but not for long.

Running kuhmo ku36 on the stag at the moment 19s and i really cant complain they stick well wet or dry bit noisy but after gate has been opened a couple of times i cant hear s@#t any way , and they where cheap to boot

Havent done it to it yet, but I bought a new high pressure hose from bunnings which also came with a foam lance... the only rare occasion that I have been excited about cleaning the Stagea..

So it is most likely a leak somewhere? I would be surprised if they didn't install the Tee properly, but then again stranger things have happened...

^^slight leak from turbo manifold gasket?..thats what mine was, never held boost up top since i imported it

thought it was my faulty ebc,as it had been sitting around for 6 yrs , put on bleeder, same shit

cheers

Installed a JVC KDR736BT deck in the Stagea. A big thanks to Kenwood and JVC for using the same loom plug barring a single pin which is devoted to the (not in use) remote button/steering wheel control. I had the soldering iron, heat shrink, electrical tape and other bits and pieces out but all I needed was a phillips head screwdriver. :yes:

JB Hifi have 30% off headunits so it was hard to knock back this unit at $122 vs $178 or the alleged rrp $349. The neat thing about this deck is it can connect two phones at once and a more modern IPod/Iphone control than the previous Kenwood deck.

I picked up my new M35 last Friday :)

After a 6-7 year absence from owning an import I am back and happy as Larry.

I'll post some pics after it stops raining and I've had a chance to give it a wash.

The storms here have been arse up. The worst ever.

Had to get the SES to come and chain saw the trees in the driveway so I could go to the bottle shop.

Damn inconsiderate of Mother Nature.

Was so blest the tree that came down just missed the Stags in the drive.

inconsiderate? but now you have fire wood for winter and someone came and cut it for you

hope everything is ok up there, pretty wet down the bottom of the hill but not much happened here

Damn those Swedes and their keenly priced flatpack temptations.

And their carpark.

I resent that.. ;)

Too bad about the paint though.. What was the cause?

    • 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.
