Back from stanthorpe....it was a beautiful 17 degrees this morning when we woke up for the drive home, then back into the humid closed terribleness that is my loungeroom of an afternoon.

standard is 16x7 with a +40 offset

mine are the 33 GTR wheels, which are 17x9 with a +30 offset.

they fit pretty darn well imo and i can fit my hand between the caliper and the spokes :whistling:. all depends on the design of the wheel itself whether it will clear the brakes or not, but anymore than 25-30 offset requires some work. head into the wheel fitment thread on this site man.....its pages and pages of randomness, but you should find your answer in there somewhere.

what wheels you looking at, link??

just put a front pipe back exhaust on te skyline and being auto when its full throttle and changes gear it makes a weird noise like the FG xr6 turbos do

is this normal??

sounds like you had a nice little break there bodo, and thanks for the info, not really looking at particular rims, just wanting to know the off set and things like that but i was thinking something like the following http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/190622246547?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_1638wt_1002, just getting sick and tired with the rims that got put onto my car with the wrong offsets.

on another topic, did a rather long service yesterday, changed oil, oil filter, fuel filter and air filter, then found the sump was leaking (FYI when doing the sump, advise using a engine crane), so fixed that up, then got the boost system fixed by installing a boost gauge and boost tee peace, got it running at 9 PSI at the moment.

also found that the timing belt will need to be replaced some time soonish, plus while pulling off the sump, found some disturbing information, looking like the engine will be needing a rebuild, as it looks like the previous owner didn't really look after the engine to well as there is metal file-lings through out the oil, so now i will be looking around for a mechanic that will do a rebuild at a reasonable price (anyone know of some?).

Does it make the wicked exhaust burble on gear change? if so yeah that is normal.

randomHero yeah its a wierd exhaust noise, kind of similar to the rev limiter noise

if you have heard an XR6T or G6E turbo change gear at full noise it sounds quite similar

glad to hear its normal:)

next up will be the dump and front pipe and an intercooler

can I just remove the vacume hoses from the boost solenoid and put a straight through connector on there or a boost tee wound all the way closed (havn't got a boost guage yet)

so it gets the full 7psi all day long??

yeah man those wheels will fit fine, you just need to put a set of slightly tight tyres on it, mine has 235/45/17 on that size in the federal and they dont look to stretched at all.

metal filings are not a good thing to have in your sump, sucks that you had to pull the whole thing off.....mine has no leaks other than the little drip from the rocker cover at the back on the passenger side. is it having any issues with oil pressure etc? if not, just keep the oil fresh, and check it everytime. maybe even grab a magnetic sump plug so you can judge if its getting worse. or if it was just leftover crap from somewhere else.

No idea on the engine builder sry. but i'd say drive it till it dies :P

yeah i might look into the magnetic sump plug, and with those rims i would probably go 225/40/17 on the front and 235/45/17 on the rear, had another look on ebay and came across these ones http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/200670919165?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_1760wt_1002, reckon they would fit?, as for the drive it till she dies advise, i don't think that would be wise as it could mean a completely new engine instead of a rebuild as there could be a risk of blowing a piston through the block, as for the oil leak you got on your rocker cover, i had a leak there as well, but fixed that up last week, spent a fair bit of time and money this past week getting her running nicely, now looking at upping the boost to 10 maybe 12 PSI

randomHero yeah its a wierd exhaust noise, kind of similar to the rev limiter noise

i assume you mean so it doesnt run the low boost before 4500rpm, then up to 7psi from there on?? if so here is the thread you want. high boost solenoid fix

On this site there is a Guide under DIY on how to ground out one of the wires on the stock solenoid so it will run constant 7 psi ( if you would like to keep it completely stock looking) The also saves on playing the find that vacuum leak game.

G'day all,

Was just curious if anyone could point me to a place where I could get a new A/C Belt & the tension pulley or might have a part number on hand, just had a look at mine and its completely seized and belt snapped off prior to me buying the car.

Days like today of 40C, I wouldn't have an issue if I was still living in Perth but the humidity is a real butt kicker.

Cheers.

Chris Rogers is the parts number god, Alternatively ring Repco they can usually source parts like that without too many issues.

Dunno, Haven't really thought about it, work has been hectic and I have had the car in the shop for upgrades so I will probably be attending more club events this year.

im keen for more wed nights after Feb. far too much on atm.

got my leather gater and handbrake boot. fits looks and smells nice. new brake pads are in for happy laps on the weekend.....the ones i pulled out were the original Nissan items...look like they had never been touched.

got the gearknob too, but its the wrong thread size...add clearly stated 10mm, but it's loose as loose can be.......messaged the seller already, hopefully have this sorted soon, but not before happys :(

no idea on the NEO's sry Joe

xmas come late this year!

those look nice there mate, been thinking about getting a new set of boots for the gear boot and hand break, but haven't been bothered as of yet, are they eBay special for like $20 odd plus like $5 for P/H?, if so, can you let me know how they go please

    • 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.
