Next on the list will be coilovers, looking at MCA, Blitz ZZ-R and BC BR RS.

Anyone running the Blitz or MCA or anything else they are happy with?

whats in the innovate box mate?

Going by that piping it goes all the way to the turbo hard pipe doing away with rubber hose that the hdi piping attaches to.

Whats the fitment like with the blitz kit? Hit a possum a few months back and have been having random boost leaks since and I've narrowed it down to the cooler itself being warped and not sealing properly, with my current HDi cooler.

Thinking to just replace the core but the blitz kits tempting whats left of my "JDM yo" honda feelings

Thrashed it at the Snowy 1000

Ran 22.49 @ 233.5 kph, better ET than I expected but was hoping for a quicker trap speed.

Was quite happy the wagon was able to drive home as many cars didn't survive the day.

Man I'd love to have a go at an event like that one day. A quarter mile always seems to be a bit of a tease.

[Beregron]

Ok so as promised....

I had more time to spare to go check out the M35 as we get closer to the end of this long job,

I managed to take a few happy snaps of a few bits.

Clutch pedal is sorted.

Manual box in place

Centre console test fitted

Tail Shaft not in yet...

But the best bit is.... IT STARTS!!! The 4wd light is on + the auto light flashes a few times on start up but it stars perfectly and idles fine.

Next the hand brake will be sorted + clutch line and then all i am waiting on is the tail shaft which i was hoping to be done before this week ends but looks like next week.

There are heaps more photo's that have been taken by the mechanic but they will sorted once all is done.

fitted nismo low temp thermostat last night

no fault on stock one, just want to let the big fat man be cooler.

[iamhe77]

Holy crap that is a butt-load of corrosion on the stock thermostat!

[KiwiRS4T]

It won't run cooler with the Nismo thermostat - it will just take longer to warm up. Stock is best.

[conan7772]

hey maybe we should rename this thread to " What have you hidden from your missus lately "

so far I've done high flow, ( she knows that one but not the total cost ), brakes, rotors, pads, bov, boost t and sway bars.

sitting in my cupboard I have two Greddy BOV's, new set of plugs, intake coupling and clamps, new fuel pump and strainer, an AMPerformance intake with heat wrap, and lastly an E-Manage Ultimate in a box.

Add it all up and it's a holiday to Thailand.

if she knew I'd be a f**king grease pop.

Not true actually.

OEM opens at 86deg, so you'll never see it colder than that in normal running.

Nismo opens at 74deg, so my car routinely runs around 80 deg; except in very hot weather.

OEM does keep temps more stable, but only when using an OEM radiator.

how about your car with heavy traffic on 40 degree day?

Your thermostat is not like the unit on the wall that controls your central heating - it just increases the flow through the radiator and once its open the Nismo is no different from the stocker so on a hot day both will be open but the amount of cooling done by the radiator will be exactly the same i.e. a thermostat that opens at a lower temperature will not cool your engine any better than one that opens later once that temperature has been reached.
