Had noble intentions today of fitting up the LSD rear end & the Scotty dump, front pipe & new Blitz Nür catback I got the other day...

Diff went in fine, but I was foiled utterly by the stock dump pipe... :(

I even called Scott to walk me through it, but couldn't for the life of me remove the O2 sensor with the tools I had - and as a result I couldn't get to the top centre nut to the dump pipe flange.

Fitted up the rest of the exhaust to the stock dump (will be forced to ask Craig to do it for me while I hang my head in shame) and I'm glad to report that its SUPER quiet. At idle, it's not much louder than the standard exhaust & probably just as loud as the induction roar on WOT.

Will be interesting to see if there's any change in noise levels once the factory dump/cat is swapped for the good one...

I'll be at the workshop bright and early tomorrow if you want to head down. Give me a buzz or SMS on 0406754304.

finally ive been waiting to post this. :yes:

cars tuned, very happy with the results its been a long time( almost 3 months) with issue and constantly annoying the guys on here.. but first in WA :)

it is road tuned so no dyno results as yet guys but its a big improvement and im sitting at 19.5psi :)

id really like to thank Scotty, Craig, Ryan and of course all the others for imput for helping me through the tuning/ mehanical issues ive had. :cheers::cheers::cheers:

i will get dyno run for all you doubters eventually lol

Nice work Chris.

What was the boost issue in the end?

No fault codes I take it?

Got the audio controls on my steering wheel working with my head unit. Just 2 wires to connect together & another one to ground then store the functions in the memory. No fancy conversion box required in my case.

It sounds so simple when I read this back, lol. There were lots of hours of searching, reading, prodding & measuring to get to the point of 5 minutes of soldering & crimping. Been meaning to do this for 18+ months - thanks Rich (richzx) for the motivation to get off my bum & do it :cheers: .

Had super happy family time today and couldn't sneak away. Do you work nights, Dr Craig? :O

Finally got around to fitting a full radius bell-mouth in the factory air-box. Happy with the fit and yet to see if the Airflow properties have improved performance. its certainly better than the crude OEM bellmouth IMO.

Nice Benny. Will be good to hear how it reacts to that.

You'll enjoy that mate!

Any work on the suction/intake side to aid flow?

Thats one of the next things to sort. Just looking into options. I need it before I get an emanage etc.

But so far mod list is

Sierra stage one turbo

Nismo ecu

Scotty dump

Scotty front pipe

Nismo exhaust

HDI front mount will go on this week

Looks like I have a plenum spacer lined up

Just ordered a shift kit

Also have scottys coolant mod sittting there to go in.

What do people think is the best suction pipe?

Mine works quite well. It would be fine for that turbo. Also skirts the AFM cut issue.

Is relatively cheap and made on a jig as a direct replacement for the OEM restrictive cast nugget.

Completely invisible once fitted. I have several of these in service and performing well.

Scotty makes an excellent one, and is proven at huge power levels.

AM Performance in Radelaide do a very neat replacement; Ryan (Bigkevracer) can vouch for it.

Yeah I was going to ask you about yours. What do youcharge for yours? What numbers have people pulled with your pipe?

I have been looking at the AM one but not completely. Sold on it yet.

Scottys is a possibility. But he does require the car which is not out of the question but would be better not having to drive to mexico

PM coming your way.

What have I been doing to my stag lately,

Well I put on R33 front & rear calipers with

brand new dba slotter rotor and project mu pads.

Brakes feel really good now

And just last night I put in a recaro bucket seat

With a bride super low seat rail only bad thing is

I can't see over the bonnet now :-(

Hey Josh can you be a bit more specific with the difference the intake made? I want one but don't want the AFM cut out issue or maxing the injectors. You have the standard turbo as well?

Hey Dale can you pm me the price on yur intake please?

Here's a couple of rubbish pics of my car with the new wheels on 19*9.5 + 35 with 245/40/19 tyres. The handling is much improved.

I can't get the caps on because of the hub nut things but I think it looks good without the caps anyway.

I can't stop staring at the entrance way appearing like it's sinking into middle earth.

    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
