Just make sure the thread isn't stainless, two of Jase's plugs nearly seized in the head. I thought I was going to have to helicoil it, luckily they freed up with some WD. I have never had this happen before with NGK's.

My next set may be NGK racing plugs in 8 heat range. Can you suggest anything else that cold?

Your bed?

What effect does E85 have on plug range? I would have thought E85 would have allowed for a hotter range (colder than stock, but not an 8) plug due to its Octane rating.

The high octane rating means more oxygen in the fuel = burns hotter. The 7's seem fine but the tuner wants 8's to cool the combustion chamber down more. There is certainly a lot of heat in there, imagine the heat 8L of ethanol can produce when burnt (within a minute.)

I would hate to think how much crank HP it's putting out, this auto is leeching power like crazy.

Installed swaybars last weekend now I have a knock in the front. Any idsas.

Hey Josh,

It will probably be the Lateral Locks fouling.

Get front of the car on some ramps and loosen the lateral locks so that you can index them to have the maximum amount of clearance; they are oval in section, so you should be able to get them in the right spot.

Don't forget to nip them back up when you're done.

This part needs to be done with the suspension at your normal ride height; the sway bars change their index position as the suspension droops.

I think some people have linished a small amount of material off them in the past to get some extra clearance; but you shouldn't have to do this, as the Locks were redesigned a while ago to give more clearance

If you have any more issues; please let me know, OK?

Good luck, .

Cheers, Dale.

Seriously who cares ! But on a more interesting note I fixed my quad phaser tri bandwidth flux compactor by re triangulating the Zion crystals . I can now pick up the mars space rover and control the volume from my steering wheel . It's increased killa wasps by three bees dicks

D1 spec boost and oil pressure gauge coming, quality looks fairly good for the price. Factory boost gauge is in a stuoid un practical place.

Ordered kakimoto r from streeter

Then too harass scotty for parts...

You're certainly having a bad run with it Ryan, is it set up for map or still on the afm?

Just drive the damn thing over here one weekend mate. ;)

Almost ready to do that Scotty, but it seems like once you've got the bastard setup right the tuning is easy..

These idiots didn't listen or do as I asked, so it's setup to use the AFM. Once its retuned on the HKS MAP and IAT sensors, it should be right.

RTR dyno day, managed a 290kw run on their Mainline dyno. Very happy to get within 30-40kw of a tuned 35 gtr though with my stock baby VQ. :)

The tuner had issues with 3rd gear kickdown, he would have nearly shat. Then wheelspin from not being strapped down well enough.

Many sad people, it isn't a happy dyno.

Bit of an update.

My cars been off the road for about 2 weeks getting all the little problems fixed.

Oil leak above the turbo fixed

Wastegate gap fixed

Steering rack fixed

Engine oil cooler remounted

Venting in the guards done

Ducting to the coolers done

remounted boost sensor restrictor

**cough - Blitz sonic mounted

So just waiting on my new Nismo exhaust and the front bar and the car's back on the road.

Looking good mate.. suprised you went with a pod :P

Also suprised your still running stock bov? Hasnt given you any leakage problems with high boost?

Hate pod's(this one has gaides).....but I'll see how this goes.....lot's of ducting going to it and I've made some addition heat shields. My standard airbox has fallen apart due to the race radiator crushing and frying it so if the pod doesn't work I'll have to make up a complete new one.

The standard BOV is fine.....It's run 26 PSI with no hassles at all.

All things going well on the tune I should gain about 10-20KW's safely on the dyno. Then it's track time again!......with gay 8.5" 19's!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
