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.

    • 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.
