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.

Your drugs, I would like to sample them... LOL

Yes the road falls away a fair bit into the gutter. I live on a big hill basically. Sorry for rubbish pics the battery must have been going flat.

Batteries dying shouldn't have any effect on how the photos turn out. User error? :P

Car looks good though, and I reckon some wheels just look better without the centre caps

Yes standard turbo. No afm cut. Running only 16/17psi.

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?

Got under the car to see what was making the bumping and knocking sound in the front and rear.

Front - swaybar 'u' bracket bolt slightly loose and driverside laterial lock not square so knocking on frame.

Rear - ox underbody brace bolt loose, sway bar adjustment screws have come loose and were total wound out causing the sway bars to knock on rear lover control arms.

All sorted now. Just have a slight creak in the front nismo suspensions (sounds like creaky spring)

Also reinstalled the front underbody tray so all looks back to stock if you didnt know better looking at it.

It's always a good idea to get underneath & lean on all the fixtures about 500km after you do major underbody work.

Particularly with Powdercoated parts like swaybars, as the coatings flatten out around bolt holes; & bolts can have more clearance when previously, they felt quite tight.

Ive npticed its spools quicker/earlier. Goot mid range. Nothings defined without before and after dyno results which I dont have as my car has not been on a dyno as yet

So josh is there more mid range, top end, all through the rev range? Can you advise what difference if any it makes?

Thanks

Sprayed coolant all over my engine bay, exact source is yet TBD.

Thankfully the informeter beeped its arse off at me as temps rose up above 104 - let me know there was a drama before the cars temperature needle moved off 'centre'. I was able to pull down a side street and let it cool off, I was near enough my destination that I could just leave it there as well and then topped it up with some demineralised water to get it home safely.

Doing a pressure test tonight to verify its the radiator thats decided enough is enough or if I've got lucky and its just a hose.

Kakimoto r fitted this arvo as well as 80mm front pipe.

Not attempting dump at all craig can do that :P

Boost increased boost is peaking at 1.3 for a split second and power has increased.

Rear wheels now spin on stall and can load up 1.1bar to launch.

Can only see dump as improving what I have now.

Interesting looking at the stock exhaust setup. It has a pulley that goes from the car to a butyerfly valve that looks like a throttle body/cable that opens for the 'sport' mode.

Pics soon

changed the oil, found where the oil leak is, happy it's not the engine, sad it's the powersteering line below the aircon compressor, aircon clutch blew and looks to have nicked the power steering line

new spark plugs for me

interested to see what the difference will be on the cold mornings

old plugs were 60,000km+ old iridiums with a heat range of 7, new plugs were bcpr6ey-11's

God that pod is ostentatious.

Oh, it was my radiator that was cracked. Standard top plastic section. So I replaced that over the weekend. V35/M35 one off ebay, received it within 48hrs of placing the order and no modifications were needed. Good result, aside from it being a pita to bleed - but we all knew that.

My dodgy temporary fix involving a soldering iron (Apparently I'm a skilled plasti-welder) and some silicone sealant held up perfectly well on my 50km trip to my mate with a hoist too!

      Blue/grey smoke after idle

      By Duncan · Posted

      I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!

      I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)

      I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
