What rails are you running with these?

I think they are S13/14 rails 3 out of 4 bolts lined up I just made a bracket to line up the last bolt

Took out the crap Febest bits tension rod bushes that only lasted 50,000ks. Replaced with oem. Bit expensive but they'll last 150 probably. No more wanders!  And new sway bar links. Oem. No more clunking! Drives nice again.

When replacing valve cover gaskets I decided to do a full clean and paint of both covers as well as the intake manifold, gonna throw away the plastic engine cover now it's actually a kinda nice looking engine 20200324_152506.thumb.jpg.1cf7234ef72a5062ec8957dc22fba16f.jpg20200329_123928.thumb.jpg.454c0e283455b9da435fbe4dcc09360f.jpg20200329_132216.thumb.jpg.246365a18e1ba3ba08466afb8ba691f5.jpg

Looking good!

After a month of toing and froing between the engineer and the road worthy inspectors the ATTKD 6 piston brakes on our  '05 PM35 Axis Autech have been passed (the engineer was awesome, and so are the brakes).  More of a challenge was the rear track - 1565mm which was 5mm over what is allowed.  At the end of the day standard ARX wheels on the back did the trick but looking for something more suitable.

Why was the maximum track 1560? Did the wheels stick out of the guard or was it an arbitrary number?

Wheels are inside the guard - allowable track increase is 25mm and can use the widest track in that model of car - we used 1535 which is a PNM Axis and that gives me a limit of 1560mm.  My wheels are 18x9 with 25 offset - still getting my head around offset but thinking that 18x9 with 30 offset might bring the track in.

Yeah, +30 means it'll sit 5mm inwards compared to +25

so its about time i have written in the topic. my stagea journey started roughly 6 years or so ago when my mum was looking for a new car and had always liked nissans but wanted something practical and she decided on a m35 that she kept for a few years and i had always had a thing for wagons and i had decided a 260rs was what i needed in my life. late last year i put the plan into action and i was able to get a series 2 260rs.

first thing to sort out was the clutch i knew the clutch was on its way out when i bought the car but it didnt worry me all that much as i was planning to change it anyway for increased power. i went with a nismo twin plate and took a couple of days off work to get it sorted. luckily for me im a mechanic at a nissan and we werent all that busy so i was able to come in and use my hoist as i dont think i would have been able to do it on my own on stands.

the car sat on display in the showroom at my dealership for a period of time and while noone really knew what it was it was interesting seeing people wonder why it was in there with all the new cars and reading the plaque i had written that sat beside it

from there  the parts collecting began. i noticed while doing the clutch the front pipe flex joint had torn and was the source of an exhaust leak so that was on the list as i knew i was keeping the car on twins. i ended up getting -9's, hks cam gears and timing belt, genuine waterpump, tentioner, idler cam and crank seals, nismo fuel pump, 950cc injectors, nismo afms, prp r35 coil kit, nismo short and solid shifter with a power fc to run it all at this current stage.

while sadly i dont have any photos of the shifter install it went quite smoothly apart from from getting the selector cup to seat into the gearbox however perseverance and the occasional swear made it go in eventually

the coil kit install was a breeze i decided to change the plugs while i was there and lucky i did the plugs werent old or anything but were a 5 heat range and simply not up to the task of the power i was about to throw at the car. the old coil loom looked tired and was very brittle as expected. i retained the factory igniter box even though it isnt plugged in with the new coil kit as the car had a couple of ground connections running to it

so next is the car is booked in at racepace to have everything fitted and tuned so hopefully ill have a nice looking dyno sheet to post in a week or so

Have you done that 1000 km yet 

Sure have, I found a heap of small fixes that needed to be done like vacuum leaks cam cover oil leaks & stuff but the big one was the 3" exhaust & JDM mufflers were not as well flowing as they needed to be, so after having issues with back pressure I had to get a full custom 3 1/2" system made up with 3 1/2 inch Hi Flow CAT, plus I had the screamer pipe extended & plumbed back into the exhaust so I don't get booked, after an oil change I took it back to Maatouks & had another run on the dyno to make sure all is OK. found out the standard CAS doesn't like anything over 6500rpm so I'm saving up for R35 coils & bracket & a cam angle sensor to go in when I go back for the E85 tune after all this COVID shite... so its still running on great 98 octane at just over 500whp so reliable everyday, very happy & the idle is much lower now & the car shakes a bit at the lights..;)

I'm still working on wiring my Haltech in. Making some progress but now the thing won't start so (on the stock ECU) I can't test my latest connections!

I did however just purchase a hypergear ATR43 ball bearing turbo... should be here next week ?

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
