Got the battery replaced in the remote. No more green flashing key symbol on the cluster and the return of the inane joy of unlocking the car from 20 metres away. So joy.

Just getting the car back on the road after a long period of rebuild and decided to replace the craptastic factory gauges in my 260RS with something a little more accurate and informative...

Left to right: oil pressure & oil temp, boost & fuel pressure, voltage & water temp

Was bored and instead of working the long list of things to do/maintain the stag, i threw it on the Dyno instead to see if it's running fine, not lean as i got Impul Ecu in it now ........

Confirm it's all good, still running Rich as but better than lean i guess.

Dyno in 3rd gear, have 2 pre-run to make sure everything is safe, 3rd run is the power run for fun. 

Was going to run in 4th gear but the gear box was heating up so we scrapped that and so now i really have to get off my ass to fit the trans-oil cooler.

Drill out a broken bolt in the intake manifold, replaced with high tensile grade 12.9. 

Clean out the throttle body while at it, did play around with the butterfly and lucky enough, the idle is still fine, didn't have to do a re-set.

So some of you (most of you from Facebook lol) probably know that the stagea was involved in a crash about a week ago.

Damage was as follows:

Honestly not too bad damage for how it was hit, I'd consider myself lucky lol

Today I got some parts (thanks Liam!)

While the door isn't in pearl white, silvers good enough for now..

I'm going to most likely respray the car in the future anyway.

Here's hoping I can get this subframe in and the old one out ASAP

previously posted pics of LED High beam install, had my guy put in some LED fogs while I was out of town a few weeks back, no install pics just in action 

 

Fogs with headlights off (just the daytime running light inside each headlight housing)

All of the lights (factory low beams, LED fogs and LED high beams)

So it's been a pretty successful few weeks or how ever long its been lol. I'm going to try and do this in chronological order but dunno how easy that will be. This will also consist of lots and lots of photos so I apologise lol

First off, I swapped the door over. Only thing is that the inside door handle wasn't working and now after about a week with the door on the outside one isn't working... rip. Lucky I have a donor door :P

The ding still needs to be removed and painted.. got quoted $1200 which just about killed me... so dunno what i'm gonna do there, door still seals so maybe I can live with it till I can get it done and the money bank has some dough. The silver door just gives the car personality right?!?!?

Annnddd the solid Hilux to carry the parts lol

Now. The goodie. Subframe removal and putting the new subframe together but not in,

Considering my uncle and I didn't really have much to go off for directions besides the quick google and got the base stuff figured out we just went straight into it. Didn't run into any issues sides the handbrake cable cover thing getting pulled out and the metal bit getting a bit bent around the edge, but we aren't too sure if we did that or if it had happened from the crash.

Check out the shock though >.<

I think all up it took us 6-ish hours, we took our time I guess, 

I picked up some V35 coupe rims?? 18x8 30p, my old wheels were 18x8 35p. I honestly don't think they will look that bad.

So that's about it... Subframe should go in the weekend after next. 

They will look great on your car, I've got them on mineIMG_0369.JPG.622067ee0ab1416658792ec948a86111.JPG

Yeah they look pretty good on yours, I kinda want to get them powder coated but I'll see how I go lol.

Can't wait to put them on! [emoji2]

Yep, I'm guessing because your car is white, a slightly darker colour would work well. I've never been a fan of black wheels, though - what's the point in having or buying nice new wheels if you can't see the detail in them.

Whats the part number and where you got them from? Mainly the SS lines.

That looks like some decent bite there.

    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
    • Yes, well. Mine are less than half that. ARBs are not set to "dumb" either.
    • I would hope. But, we all know even the best companies have an issue sporadically.
