All set for the dyno and tune Tuesday... Fitted new walbro 255l/ph pump new fuel filter, oil change and some nulon long life engine treatment... Already feels better kmopact biv going in Monday then off to JEM

Totally disagree. Its suprisingly a quiet system. I was expecting it to be worse than the varex system i had on but very little cabin noise what so ever.

Each to their own i guess. iv had mine on for over 3 years now, tho it seems to have quietened down a tad over time. personally i think its on the louder side with cabin noise.

That may change once i change the front pipe. I just purchased a kakimoto silencer for it just incase.

Got started with my mods. Installed my HDi Intercooler, was a simple swap

Here is the old vs the new

Sitting nicely with a few extra brackets to make it more rigid

You can hardly notice it behind the standard front bar

Also had time to install the GReddy Profec boost controler that i have had for a while and my GFB Deceptor blow off valve. Now i need to tune the boost controler

Mounted the profec in exactly the same place as mine :)

Place it makes the most sense... which makes sense :P

Its the spot i liked the most, i can access it while driving and can easily glance at it while on the move. I did think about mounting it just behind the steering wheel but it would of been had to get to imo

yeah i agree.

My M35 will be on the hoist this week. Main reason is to replace Caster rod bushes. I figure while it's up there might as well lay all the 350z manual bits i have out and get started on that :P (with a lot of help from others)

Did you fit a New thermo for the aircon?

Finished of the transcooler install today on the m35.

I like that positioning Josh :)

Would it not be better if you just removed that fog light blanking plate and put some kind of vent behind in the plastic wheel arch the trans cooler?

Doing it that way would guide plentiful amounts of air to pass directly over the entire cooler whilst driving instead of forcing it through just one spot on the cooler.

Of course, if you like the plates on your aero bumper, disreguard what I suggested.

I was thinking of cutting the rear of the blanking plates and replacing with a grill as you mentioned but dont want to cut up the plates. I am going to try and get a mold made up so i can make up fiberglass ones to trial and error a design.. i was going to use them for brake ducting though

Notching the recess out of the blanking plate would work perfectly for the cooler; IMO brake ducting would be better from underneath the car rather than through the front bar, but on a street car is almost redundant.

Scored a cheap rear whiteline sway bars with a few chips in the paint. Cleaned it up and sprayed it to give it a new bill of life. On the stagea it goes this weekend. Also scored a carpet boot mat. Sourced a new boot hatch button unit as mine has stopped working.

So on Sunday i installed my TEIN's which i bought back in April on an impulse buy even though i didn't own a Stagea. I was adamant i was going to buy one and i couldn't complain with the price.

I wasn't sure how to go about installing them but as i took the wheels off i saw how easy the install was. Took me 3 hours which included me changing the oil.

So far i'm very impressed with them and it is sitting 50 mm lower at the front and 25 mm lower in the back. It is very low and i will raise them up a bit and drive on them for about a month and then i will re set the height

    • 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.
    • 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.
