Installed Hicas lock bar on arse of the 260 and then had a full wheel alignment done.

All the extra Autech bracing made it a rather frustrating job.

Feels a lot more solid around sweeping bends/ bumpy stuff.

forgive my ignorance.

whats a seat ram? coz I wanna take the black seats out of my sisters V34, aswell as the front door black bits...etc. im guessing I cant do this?

they are cloth seat's in Steve's old car!

P.S. What's a V34....it that like the two door version of a C34?nyaanyaa.gif

BTW. Thought I might mention.....the weight of the seat's(which are the full electric ones) in the M35 is stupids! I recon there about 30-40KG each......noticeable weight saving to be made there straight away! Taking them out would probably push us to a 50/50 split!

Look under her seat, is there a yellow plug? It connects to a sensor located in the seat which is part of the airbag system. If that's disconnected, in the event of an accident your airbags won't fire; and you'll always have a blinking airbag sensor.

The Neotech arms are a nice piece of gear. Comparable to jap stuff easily.

Spoke with Cihan today. He reckons I don't need bigger injectors with the stock turbo...maybe just change the fuel pump to a Walbro 043 intank unit if I'm looking at upping the injectors later...which I won't have to do if I'm going LPG.

RE shift kit and trans cooler - probably beneficial but not necassary at this stage...he said he's going to experiement with using EMU to control the gearbox to make it hold better and prolong its life? I can't remember exactly what he said....

gah he's moved to Campbellfield...would've been sooo easy if he was still working at RE or Dandy...ah well...small price to pay I guess!

3 more weeks...hmmm

Oh BTW need to get my spark plugs done before I do in. NGK or Denso? iridium or plat? Cheapest place to get em?

With Motul 300V does that last for 10k km or do I still need to change @ 5000?

NGK iridiums.

if your winding up your power, i'de be doing every 5000k.

It is still reccomended every 5000k as your car is almost 10yo

FYI people, i put a 2002 transmission computer in my 2001 car. it holds gears slightly longer and doesnt change up as soon as i let my foot of the throttle.

it has a different revision number. probably new programming too

Yes, it will last 10,000kms for sure

NGK iridiums.

5000km changes? Bullshit.

10,000km with a Group V oil is no problem... unless you are tracking it.

    • 215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.  
    • That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
    • I have been looking at some setting on the alarms for the Q60 and what buttons do and so and also been looking for details on the alarm in my V37 which is a standard issue with the car. settings like window roll up and a few others seem to not work at all. i cant seem to find exact info on V37 alarms so Q60 is all i can really go off i have not tried 400Z alarm settings or info yet so that will be next. any one got like a sheet of info on the alarm system in the V37 as all my documents are in japanese but i thought the system would basically be like standard through similar models? 
    • I had a fuel smell coming from the drivers rear and pulled the tank out to inspect where it was coming from, turns out the breather hose from the tank to the filler neck was perished. I’m going to Japan next week and I’ll grab it while I’m there  pulled the oil tank apart and started cleaning this crap out of it, some brake cleaner and rags got it looking new again 
    • Hmm. Was quite a few years ago now. I think I bought from a crowd in the US called CDT Audio. The speaker is the HD-6. The HD-6CF would have been the better option (based on T-S parameters), but they were discontinued in 4 ohm at that point in time. The HD-6 is a better driver in almost every other way (than the CF) - just not as good in IB. They still do the HD-6. They might even have a more suitable (for IB) option here.https://www.cdtaudio.com/cdtnew22/products/components/woofers/midwoofers/midwoofers.htm But, here's the rub. I was working in the US a lot back then, so I got them delivered to my US office and then just brought them back to OZ myself. I don't know if they will ship to OZ, and it probably wouldn't be great cost-wise anyway. As to results. They're driven direct off the rear channels of my headunit, because the headunit can be setup to run the rears as subs. So, not a lot of power being fed there. Nevertheless, there's no shortage of volume - the sub levels don't need or want to be boosted at all. The bass is definitely not what you would call "tight". It is definitely a bit delayed compared to a proper sub. But, with the great front soundstage and really good 6.5" woofers in the front doors, I'm getting most of the bass detail from the front and the rear is really only to extend the bottom end a bit. Works for what I'm doing. I mean - until recently you couldn't really hold a conversation in my car due to the fuel pump, and for many years I had tyres so noisy (Kumho KU36 at <50 tread depth) that I had to drive with earplugs anyway!
