Finally got my AMPerformance intake fitted, straight away noticed the extra flow.

Throttle more sensitive down low, less throttle needed to get the car rolling.

Haven't tested high rpm yet.

Thanks to Craig for fitting it, wasn't easy.

PITA to install. Money well earnt for Craig

Do you have a tunable ECU? I have a AM Performance Intake sitting in my garage and from what i have read they will max out injectors if it isn't tuned right. Will be interesting to see your results, what other mods have you done on your car

As most of you know, 7 weeks ago my car was stolen and written off. It has been a stressful and frustrating time, to have your car stolen from your driveway while your home is a felling I cannot describe.
I have tried to put it behind me and turn my negative into a positive, I tracked down another Stagea, while salvaging my old wreck. Got it through roadworthy and now it is registered in my name

It has been a roller coaster ride that I don't want anyone to have to go through. Now looking for the future

I do have an E-manage but not installed yet.

Also have fuel pump to install still.

Car has ATP high flow, 100 cell cat, Scottys dump and Legalis R straight through.

Goes pretty hard.

Once fuel pump is done I'll get it all checked on the dyno.

Way to go Luis with your new wagon. You're unstoppable

I had the am intake and did not max injectors. (Untuned). Its amazing what you car 'read'

Your not wrong there, but reading through the comments bellow

I would rather wait until I have a tuneable ecu before installing it, it's not worth the risk imo. The standard intake works fine for what I have now

Can anyone confirm if the V36 Y-pipe is a bolt-in affair with the rest of the PNM35 exhaust?

I doubt anything V36 is bolt on. The flanges on the Y pipe were supposed to be in the same spot, but they are not.

I have a set of V36 headers here, they would be a great upgrade over the stock log manifolds. Custom cat pipes are required though.

Bugger. Off to Yahoo Japan auctions then. I only need a Y-pipe at the moment, the outer wall on mine's rusted and the tinny rattling noise is driving me nuts.

I am not sure it would be accurate if you are basing it off my install.

The reason being that we first tested it on my PNM35 with V36 headers and aftermarket Z34 de-cat pipes which didn't marry up with the OEM V36 cat-back on my car. Then the V35 Berk HFC's were modified and made to fit.

I reckon that the V35 and V36 y-pipes would be interchangeable if using the OEM headers and cats. I did have the V36 y-pipe and exhaust on my PNM35 with OEM headers and V35/G35 Berk cats.

After the y-pipe? Can't be sure, but since the V36 y-pipe bolts up to PNM35 cats, I would be surprised if it didn't fit the rear section as well.

Do you have access to a cheap V36 y-pipe? If so, why not give it a go?

If not, you could just get a cheap stainless V35/G35 Y-pipe off ebay or maybe an OEM unit from a wrecker?

I don't have one, no. Unfortunately where I live I can find anything I want for my Commodore, but talk about V/M-series Nissans and everyone thinks you're some kind of weirdo.

I've found a V36 pipe in Hamilton (http://www.partsworld.co.nz/parts/nissan/skyline/3312_v36/67_engine+components/270111510) so I might send them an email and get some measurements. No doubt they'll charge a ludicrous amount for it.

Soo finally got scottys dump in, what a great bit of fab work, definately reccomended.

Changed the fuel pump/filter/oring in the hopes it would clear my lean code ( 0171 ) sadly it hasnt but still yet to run a constant supply, maybe that will do it.

And picked up a set of r34 gtt front brakes to keep me busy for the long weekend!

So not a cheap week for my stagea but damn it's good to drive now.

Got bad fuel so took it into work to have the mechanics drain it and also do a service cause I was feeling lazy.

A week later and many many $$$$ later the car has had the following done, some needed some preventative.

Found and fixed a small boost leak

2 front wheel bearings

Steering rack rebuild

New control arm bushes

New diff bushes

New sub frame bushes

Spark plugs

New compression rod bushes

Also found a faulty cool pack.

Plus a few other bits.

Now it is all done and wheel aligned just in time for double demerit points so it has been parked away for the weekend haha.

josh how much did they charge you for labour on all the bushing mate? Looking at getting all mine done to. Did you run with OEM ones or superpro or the like? Will feel amazing to drive now mate I bet.

    • 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
