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.

I've sworn at it a lot lately ..lol

cheers

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. ;)

What did you do to your stagea today!

Results fkn!

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.

What did you do to your stagea today!

Results fkn!

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

Lower ball joints done

Steering cooler remounted

Catch can's in

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!

So Today I took this

To this place

I have also either just got or am waiting on this stuff and should all be here before the end of the week for a weekend install

About 3 weeks ago i also put these in my car along with soctty's actuator mod. and have his coolant mod sitting there waiting to go in.

This is the car

oh and i will just leave this here also :D

Thanks Craig (jetwreck) for all the help. Looking forward to more powers this weekend. And also scotty for the other go fast bits

    • 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.
