I wouldn't worry to much about the upgrades Anthony,

No ones going to overtake you, they would ruin the view - your car is just too goodlooking.

Matt, It sounds like that dyno reading has just about made your day, if not year.

Haha nice one, cheers!

Anyone going to the low down showcased this weekend in Sydney? was thinking of organiseing a cruise down, but because my car is entered in the rooftop, I may have to get there anywhere from 9-12 I think, which is a fair bit earlier than the 1pm start! My time slot isn't confirmed yet though.

Will be heading down to Sydney on Sat but not sure what time yet

Melisa is doing a fundraiser on Sunday at Windsor and taking the car down to put on display with a few other classic cars etc

Oh and take it easy on the roads today, was applying some right foot coming out of a roundabout with a bike in front of me and traction control took over. Gutter was looking close at one point til the application of some opposite lock.

Hey guys, random news....

My neighbour just acquired on of those new guard roller thingys and said if i had any SAU mates that wanted to try it out they can do it at my place with our heat gun and guard roller for $25 (cover maintainance and power etc only)...

PM me if you want more details, saves doing it the old fashioned way... :D

Not sure if that helps anyone, but in the spirit of SAU i thought i would chuck it out there ;)

Some more random news

Just finished pressure washing under the car and painted the calipers and rotors while I was at it

Used an old pad I had in the tool box to clean the paint off the Nissan logo and they look all nice again.

Was sick of looking at the shitty calipers and rotors

Pics of said news ;)

I forgot about the vaso/grease trick but the pads semi polish as well

Can't post pics but can text them if I had a number to send then to

If your not coming on the 8th send pics to 0434353292 mate, or just a g'day and we'll catch up... If anyone has mechanical issues etc let me know, I have a minor workshop slowly setting up so I can help others, and if it's anything tune related etc I'll recommend the Jez ;)

On an unrelated note, I am so excited about my car!! Power figure was one thing but seeing the dyno video made me so pumped!!! :yes:

^Nice one Matt..

For any one that was interested, i will be heading down to Sydney way before the the low down showcased starts at 1pm as i have to be there for 9.45am.... going to be a long day!

Forgot i commented haha.

Woo!!! Awesome!!!

I got some great weekends coming up!! Piss up in cronulla this one. Then meet up. Then Texi! Then nothing, then get keys to my house!! Thennothing for the next 5 years Lololololol jks.

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
