32 is booked for the painters, finally some slow progress. She's getting this colour http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/59/2005yzfr1lavaredjpg.jpg/sr=1

Not for ages i don't think. Hopefully end of the year. It's an on going project thats been 2yrs so far. Slowly buying engine parts and suspension goodies atm. Nissan Japan just finished remaking my door seals which took 3 months to get

Nice colour Corey!

Pulled the turbo off the wagon yesterday arvo.. looks like a pretty big highflow (it's unknown and came with the car), there's only a couple of mm of snout left.. keen to see how it goes on the 3L :D

the only thing i dont like about the 4 doors (this goes for 32/3/4) is the tail lights. If it was easy to put the coupe ones in i would go for it. I understand that Nissan wanted them to be different but they just look like @ss to me.

Got my clutch yesterday :thumbsup:

Sent turbo off for inspection and possible rebuild (leaking a bit of oil), on the plus side I may have found who built this unknown highflow!

Handbrake shoes being collected today and hopefully injectors.

Went to wire in my resistor box and new injector +ve's and was left scratching my head over WHY the standard loom is laid out the way it is.. (injs 1,2,3 on main part of loom, injs 4,5,6 on sub loom that bends back on itself) seems rather pointless so I've traced back the injector earths and the common feed all the way back to near where the igniter plugs are. Not running the IACV so can actually piss off the whole front sub-harness.

Going to Jaycar today to grab some more wire and will run all the injectors earths through the new loom I've made and my mate is bringing round a nice sealed plug so that the whole injector loom will be removable.

I think it's purely for spatial reasons, it's pretty cluttered under the standard plenum what with TPS plugs and IACV plugs in the same area. The only thing that is subject to noise is the CAS but that runs in its' own heavily shielded cable.

My way will be a lot neater with the loom hidden under the plenum.

I'm already excited for it :)

Imports and bbq.

2 great things.

Going to ditch the cable ties this weekend hopefully and secure the front lip properly.

On another note. Welding internal gates (I think that's what it's called) is it a bad thing?

    • Not that I know from experience, but in theory you'd want your gate spring to be as close to target pressure as possible, so you'd go with the higher gate spring?
    • Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.
    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
