A bit of a pictorial wrap up of the first round of the Nulon Nationals at SMSP. Held on a wet skid pan, it's a Motorsport event that pits 9 forum based car clubs against each other in club level Motor

And here is some in car footage of the day, showing the wheel work required for such tight courses! Sorry for my fat melon being all over the pics

Stagea's paint looks bloody good Alex. Nice to see some more pics from the Stagea meet. Scrolled down for more, only to be greeted with the red crusty that fouls up this thread

M35 does have a factory Bov. Similar or same as gtr Bosch units.

Hay, where is it, I couldn't find it on my car. Got a picture?

My engine bay is one page back.

thanks.gif

I assumed he was asking about a nm35 when he said v35 , since no v35's are factory turbo.

"Yes but what are you saying? "

I was simply pointing out he could use a GTR bov as a cheap option if he didnt have one.

Oh..........thats cleared it up! The problem is pluming it in somewhere.

Between the intercooler and AFM and plumbed back to the bend just after the mushroom.

Pipe goes right underneath so pretty easy.

yup....so why haven't you done it on the V35 yet? :P So are you saying to cut into the HKS cast alloy pipe?....I'm not sure Alex will want to do that and any further up the pipe might affect the AFM signal!

He likes the flutter.

I'm a bit at a loss as to where to put a BOV. We all know that if you vent to atmos, it makes you a phag, as well as messes up the AFM readings, BUT, thats with the AFM just after the air filter. With an AFM all the way near the TB, I don't know what effect positioning will have? I have to qualms about drillin the pipe - if it stops compressor surge! ATM its not effecting me much, cause I'm not putting the boot in!

Might wait a couple of weeks, and have a look at the HKS 350z that should be coming on a cruise. I think he has a BOV.

I'd put the BOV on the underside of the pressure side pipe; just in front of the throttle body. This keeps everything out of sight.:ph34r:

You could then pick up the turbo intake pipe directly below; weld a nipple in at a 30 deg angle, providing a nice merge into the intake pipe. Better yet; weld your nipple into the intake pipe so you get straight shot at the compressor wheel.

Its a great idea Dale, but there is stuff all room there. I'm running about 4 or 5 hoses in the area already.

What I really need to know is does it matter being before or after the AFM?

Just sorted out the front bar, that fits on nicely now, and also fixed up a little wastegate issue. Tomorrow I'm going to chuck it back up on the hoist and check for leaks. Also hope to mount up my trans cooler, fit some long lost swaybar bushes, and make sure everything is tight, and also take some pics

Question to you guys - What do you want to see photos of? Is there anything in particular, or I'll just take some general snaps of the whole thing?

Fair enough; sometimes hard to gauge space in pics. :blush: Hadn't thought about the AFM position; but you won't be feeding it unmetered air so it should be fine.

Good to hear it's all working well; must be encouraging.:thumbsup: You STILL haven't fitted those swaybar bushes?:blink: Me either; lol...

Pics; LOTS of pics.

Bushes went missing for about 10 months or so... the Mrs "filed" them. I came across them in the Garage about a fortnight ago! Couldn't believe my luck rolleyes.gif

Copy that on the pics....

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p

      Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!

      So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
