Some more goodies turned up in last couple days

Not 100% happy with seats at moment, there a little dirty so will take them to detailers to have professionally cleaned before fitting and the drivers seat has one very minor little pin hole in it so will get trimmer to do something here so it doesn't get any bigger

The superstreet Teins arrived a couple days ago but only unpacked them this morning, whilst unpacking the courier also turned up with my new Whiteline adjustable sway bars :)

New corner lights have also turned up but not 100% sure if going to fit them now as i like look of N1 lights with orange corners, guess i'll just have to fit 1 and see which side i like better

Picked up another ECU for it also but no pic, you know what they look like. Nothing wrong with miine just bought it for the casing to mount the Vi-Pec unit into :yes:

Had pleasant surprise this afternoon, my new Cusco bars are already here from RHD in Japan :woot:

I'm usually hesitant to use online foreign companies as you hear some horror stories from time to time but i highly recommend this company, very fast shipping and good service

Hey Whizzn,

When are you getting the Abflug carbon under tray as I want to get one too?

Going to wait until i get all the suspension in to see how low it sits in the front to make sure i have enough clearance. After what Chris said in earlier post he got me thinking hence decision to postpone the purchase for bit

Finally, the bushes have all arrived and i now have everything needed to fit new suspension into car

Going to pull the rest of the spare front strut assembly apart this week and send to powdercoaters then take into somewhere to get all the bushes etc pressed into place, bring home and bolt back together on bench then take these along with car to somewhere to have fitted (dunno where yet, anyone have any recommendations here in Bris?)

  • 1 month later...

No updates as of yet, my parts guy has gone MIA on me so trying to figure out things without his input (especially since he has the FAST program that would be real handy at moment)

Taking front suspension to a powder coater tomorrow and ringing another workshop since Elite has closed down to get car booked in for fitting the suspension and fixing the snapped gearbox cross member bolt

Hopefully will have more specific updates in next week

  • 4 weeks later...

All suspension now fitted, didn't need to fit the Whiteline rear frame bushes as someone in Japan fitted solid mount items in there already so left them in there

Coilovers set in softest position at moment and feels stiff but not too excessive so still rides relatively nicely, going to wind fronts up a little though as wheels do scrape on plastic inner fender on some bumps so i think a little stiffen up will solve this

Car site ridiculously flat around corners now with no body roll at all, can't wait to get it to track to test it's limits though

Looks like i might of scored a set of HKS GT RS turbo's with not even 4k km's on them for sweet price, looking at them next week

No photo's as car is dirty at moment due to sitting in workshop and getting wet on way home lmao

Post some up when i get home in couple days

Just quick photo of how it looks now with all suspension in place

Absolutely love the way it handles now

Ohh and had windows tinted while back also, definately an improvement in not just looks but cabin temps also

Still waiting for the front & centre covers from RHD, 3 weeks and waiting :whistling:

Don't think i will fit them to this motor though, think they can sit in room until i build new motor, that way everything will look brand new when motor goes in :yes:

Car looks awesome mate.

I got the N1's myself and am in the process of getting them fitted up.

Makes the car look so much nicer!!!!

Can I ask what the rims, size and offset they are please? They look good :)

Will be good to watch this car progress.

Don't buy the GTRS' mate they are junk

Get yourself some -5s too many documented issues with the GTRS' will save you a lot of headaches down the track

Saw somewhere last week whilst flicking over net the HKS Racing 3071 twin top mount kit

Now trying to find it again

The wheels are 18x10 with 265 tyres, can't remember offset off top of head

Just couple more pics now i'm home again

Front and rear strut bars, wasn't climbing underneath car to get photo of one underneath though lol

Rest of the covers arrived this week, the centre cover is ever so slight different colour but you REALLY need to be looking at them to see it

P3290431_zps9f412bee.jpg

Now to go find that damn turbo kit :miner:

OK i found the turbo kit, although it is 2nd hand and not brand new which i thought it was, it's still a good setup being rebuilt around 5000km ago

So now have a Twin HKS 3037 Hi Mount kit on the way to me :yes:

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
