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.

    • The team at OBD2 Australia are pretty good, shoot them an email and ask them. I've dealt with them before for work stuff. I'd be shocked if it didn't work, so long as Consult can activate the ABS. But you might need to use KLine for it which would be the stopper, as I don't think that piece does KLine comms.
    • Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.
    • Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using. 
    • There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.
    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go.
