Here's a quick vid of my previously mentioned exhaust. Couldn't make too much noise because I cbf driving miles away from suburbia 

 

Holy that sounds mint!

Sound deadening in spare wheel well, makes big difference to resonance on the highway, more of the stuff coming to put in the door skins and rear quarters very soon, then the big banana will be cosy quiet

Where did you get your sound deadening? Cost? I'll hopefully get a vid up of my exhaust this week 

 

Got it on Wish, took a few weeks to get here but bucketload cheaper....

One sheet big enough to replace the bonnet card and wheel well was $36 delivered, its 10mm thick and compresses to 6mm.

I'll try finding the link to seller and Chuck it up on here for interested parties.

Just picked up these Rohana RC10 wheels. 20x9 and 20x10 with about 43 offset I think.

Ended up needing 5mm spacers on the front because the offset wasn't quite right, so chasing up some longer studs now I think. Not much thread left with the spacer and the wheel.

Both ends sit out of the guards about 3mm, so should look perfect when I get some lower spings. (anyone got spare lowered springs??)

I could sort a deal out with Springs if your in nz? I'm going to put in adjustables in the new year

Good improvement.  I couldn't bring myself to sell my Autech rims. They are just sitting in the garage "in case" 

Spot the Easter egg....

Chopped? :P

Got the shits with stock afm and instability in the nm25 so trialing the z33 r35 unit. 

So do you have to (can you) retune the ECU to suit?

Are you saying the Z33 is the same AFM as the R35?

And will the same unit work on the VQ35DE?

Installed the RS-R lowered springs from eBay, plus some new 20x8 Vertini rims which fit properly without dodgy spacers. I won't admit how much time it took me to swap the front springs, but in my defence I had about 1ft on either side of my garage to work with. 

Pretty happy with the outcome!

So last weekend I did the lower arm bushes , radius rod bushes, sway bar bushes,  lower ball joints and the AFM . My press groaned on some of the bushes. Those things are in there very very tight. The ball joints are a prick! 

Ride improved but it also highlighted just how bad my shocks/springs are. Midday today picked up a set of nearly new Tein GT Wagons and a R33 boot brace to make up a front under body brace. 

Fitted the fronts gonna do the rears tomorrow morning, got late for the rattle gun to be going. Took it for a quick spin around the block , holly crap the difference is incredible. 

 

 

My IT monkey hands are hurting and im cut up but it passes the shoe test.

Rear springs and shocks done, front underbody brace bolted up. Its now a totally different car. Why did I not do this sooner :huh:??. Drivers rear shock was completely buggered. Could squeeze it down between  my hands and it took upwards of 3 min for it to extend. 

I set my heights on the bench. Will let it settle for a week and then set again. Just need to buy some C spanners , anyone know where I can buy some in Perth?

Of course all this effort has brought my attention to another clunk. Passenger side tie rod has play. So now need to find a set before I go get new shoes and an alignment.

Suspension sorted now set my sights for go mods:)

I'm long overdue posting an update.. don't even remember what the last thing I posted was lol 

Anyway, some stuffs has happened, most important one is that my car no longer pings... Took it to E&H Motors out in Pukekohe and they found that the timing was off, which is what I had suspected. A fair chunk of money later i'm happy that the car is now 100% better. 

On a cooler note, I bought a LSD diff which I was gonna chuck into a 4WD stag casing but I derped and forgot about the ABS stub axles.. so now I need to try and find some 3x2 LSD ABS stub axles that I can use... otherwise I might try find some 5x1LSD ABS stub axles and put them in it, but that involves buying the axles as well...

Also got given a spare casing, but I can't use that anyway.

You can see the ABS ring on the stub axle that I need, apparently the open diff one that I have is too short to be used in the LSD unfortuantly.

Also changed out my coolant and changed spark plugs/coil packs to brand new ones.

Other than that nothing cool has happened haha

Just pressed in a new bearing for the AC idler pulley. Statewide sold me a 6301zz for 5 bucks cause they had em on shelf but not in the POS. :3_grin:. No more howling AC huzzah!

Looking good! So what offsets work on the 8 in rims? Different front and rear?

    • 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
