Not so much a what have I done but a what I will do when the wife and kids give me 5 minutes of peace!

attachicon.gif2015-11-29 09.27.43.jpg

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?

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.

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.

not much but bidding (nengun) "new" air conditioning center panel
I bought already 2din player

xenon reverse lights :rolleyes:

still should put the engine heater.. now outside temprature -15°
:mad:

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. ;)

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

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.

    • 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.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
