I miss the stock turbo's response sometimes. On the other hand the engine now gets run through a larger rpm range, for better or worse. I could basically run the car under 3000rpm all the time. The hi flow is very much on light duty for what is essentially a stock replacement.

Urgently needed some pads for my 330mm D2 brakes and fitted some unknown street pads - lasted just one track day at Hampton Downs! Will go to Race Brakes and get something better...

Racebrakes sold me some Pagid pads which I will fit now and then take the old pads to them for a street lining which I will then put in the car and save the Pagids for track days.

Had a smoke test done on my car today to confirm why it's making a strange hissing sound from the intake side when on boost, and confirmed that the gasket between the top and bottom halves of the intake plenum is leaking. Hopefully once this is sorted, it will also reveal why my power and torque curves flatline at around 5,400rpm and max out at 235rwkW. Should be capable of at least another 30kW with the latest round of mods.

The proper (Turbosmart style) ball valves actually work in a similar way as the electronic controller, and they do a great job of holding boost pressure off the actuator until the desired boost is reached.

I still prefer an electronic controller for the simple fact they have an overboost warning, and the ability to run a 4 or 5 port MAC valve.

Looks good Toby. :)

Thanks Scott

your help and being available to discuss any entry level issues have allowed for a direct and proven modification pathway.this stops money been thrown away several times on the R & D rollacoaster of fortune or fail...

P.S attempting to knock over as many mods at home here so hopefully theres less time spent on your hoist and whilst At your performance Garage.

Maybe then I can bring the whip and junior along to.

I'm not sure this should be in the 'what have you done to your stagea lately' rather than 'what will you be doing to your stagea soon' but I'd prefer not to start a new thread.

n00b alert

Quick question - I've warped my front rotars and will be getting new calipers at the same time. I'm about to get my hands on RDA slotted front rotors 296mm by 30mm for my nm35 - the seller is saying they suit R34 GT-T but I beleive the GT-T came out with 310mm by 30mm and the R34 GT came out with the 296mm.

Should I be asking the wreckers for front GT-T calipers or GT calipers. My knowledge of brake system is zilch to none.

Years ago when I used to come on here, I think I remember people buying the V35 Skyline GT cat-back exhausts as a cheap direct replacement for the NM35s big heavy resonator. Am I remembering correctly? what about the 350z exhaust - that also works but needs a minor mod?

I think you are correct James, it's the larger disks you will need. Best to ring GSL rallysport, they know their brakes backwards.

I have a decent cat back here atm... How loud are you wanting though?

Just sent back front set of RDA brand 296mm (doah!) to change for the correct 310mm to suit a 2nd hand set of R34 GTT callipers ive purchased threw just jap after they measured up to a front cut NM35 they had sitting there apparently straight boltup.RDA Dimple drilled & slotted items via ebay also were a very competitive priced for brand new, a new set of Intima SR street/circuit rated pads will bite into them.

Cheers, okay got my hands on some RDA 310s now. How much were GTT Calipers from justjap?

I paid $320 inc. freight to adelaide.

Im not sure how many sets they had but otherwise i recall gumtree had a front & rear package advertised.

my painter mate used the good weather oportunity to resray my front bar and cleaned it up. looks much clearner without the scrapes and wear.

also managed to get my tires fitted to the new wheels ready for the "lets make them fit" game.

happy with the amount of stretch

The V35 coupe mid pipe is a direct replacement for the Stagea one...

The 350Z one is basically the same but shorter, efectively by the straight bit fitted to the engine end of the V35 coupe one..

Mine was $120 from Niss4x4, and took about 20 minutes to fit. 2 months later took another 10 minutes to remove the brace thing on the tranmission tunnel, prop shaft catcher thing, as the exhaust was hitting it..

    • 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.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • 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.
