Got the brakes machined today.......... feels so much better!!!

also its first oil and filter change and done the sparkies just for good measure.

only thing im waiting for now is my new rocker cover gasket cos its leaking like a sieve,

otherwise its all good :D

came across this and was wondering if anyone knew any more info on finding a guage holder that mounts in that exact possition where the TV unit goes...........

was hoping to hold 3X 2" 1/16 guages............

cheers :)

That's got to be custom.

I reckon you could roll a piece of sheet metal to fit there and mould some gauge cups in fairly easily.

start searching around the G35 forums.......are the defi gauges? If so there website my have that mount to suit.

some good ideas there but still no closer unless i make my own i guess.................

ok im going to build myself a custom guage holder to fit 3 guages, ive already got boost and am wondering what the other 2 should be......

im thinking oil pressure and .................???..................... (water temp is already on the standard cluster so not sure if i really need that one)

other choices are oil temp, trans temp and air/fuel ratio..................... (have i missed any?)

or if the others arent to important i'll just make a 2 guage holder instead!!!

EGT and Trans temp would be my choices along with Boost.

where are you gonna put it. i might be interested in a 2 gauge holder with some$$ wanna make mine abit neater

yeah oil temp and trans would be alright.

Exhaust Gas Temp................. why do u say that ?

i've pulled out the box where the tv goes seeing as i dont have one.

will be sorta like this..........

EGT is very useful for a number of reasons.

1) In general driving you start to see how the ECU manages fuel and helps understand the whole car. ie, on the open road car leans right out and EGT is up around 600-700 degrees.

2) If you start (I think you already have) moding the car and the various components you can see the direct change you have made and in particular the change it makes to fueling which is very important to avoid leaning the motor.

I am sure there is more than this ... :)

How does EGT compare to AFR? reading wise...is one more accurate than the other?

I would think the AFR is a lot more accurate and if the device measuring is accurate enough will give you a much better result but I would imagine a very different cost.

Probably better than the EGT is the Wide band O2 sensor. Fester and more accurate and able to use for on road tuning.

yep make me one.

my TV is out of order as my emanage took over the dvd players spot.

pending price obviously

Myself and a panel beater mate are gonna try and put these into production, i'll make both dual and tripple guage holders............. fingers crossed!!!

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
