Nah nothing's up man

Put go kart together

Hillclimb

New axle and springs in boat trailer so it will make the trip north at Xmas

Fit radio and whatever else I need to boat to make it sea worthy

Xmas parties

Track day for go kart at Wakefield

Fix axle seal in Melisa's car

Fix skyline and service

And want to try and get house painted as well

Just a few things to do

pretty quick!

benji theres a socket you can get that makes that a 2 minute job. a socket with a cut up it so the wire doesnt get tangled

yes used that socket but ABS booster is in the road and the heat shield for the manifold. Had to use a hole heap of extensions and joints lolz.

ended up having to take off my strut brace to screw new one in (I hand screwed it in as didn't want to risk cross-threading).

I will keep an eye on any beers (if its an open invite :) )

My car is off to Nathan @ Newcastle Dyno tomorrow for a tune and boost controller! Not expecting numbers much different than standard but hoping to get a mid range improvement.

Have you got adjustable cam gears? they beef up the midrange quite alot, they did for mine anyways.

Only mods are -7's, xforce dumps (I was told this is helpful when changing turbos), upgraded fuel pump and splitfire coilpacks (prob don't count as a mod).

It doesn't feel as responsive since the turbo changes and I am concerned about running these with standard ECU and boost control. The only reason I have made any changes was due to the possible failure of the ceramic turbos and everything else has kind of flowed on.

It is getting a PFC and Greddy profec-b tomorrow.

After this I plan on keeping it as stock as possible, well for a while at least :)

Edited boost control reference

haha yeah, probably should have explained that.............I know the standard boost solenoid does its job, but keen on running a low boost and hi boost with appropriate tune.

I may have been misled but a few people have said running -7's can see boost spikes with standard ECU and solenoid.............and its a neat excuse for the wife anyways!

The only things i would have added to that list is injectors and cam gears, the cam gears should improve response (only if its tuned properly aswell etc)... with the above you should be able to get 300+ kw at all 4 i would think...

your injectors (if there stok) will probably limit you to around 260ish and stop you from making best use out of the nice turbos you now have :)

hope that helps, although sounds like it may be a little bit late if its going in tomorrow.

Thanks for the advice.

I did consider making more changes but budget and trying to figure out what my plan is means that a couple of small changes now and then probably wait for the inevitable bang before doing more.

On a side note I am looking to change the color of the BBS LM rims, do you guys have an experience with anyone locally? I may just do it myself but if there is someone good then lazyness will prevail.

Nathan does great work

Rims are something you can do yourself but would be better left to the pros

Paint is one thing you get what you pay for and if the finish isn't spot on it will detract from the rest of the car

I can pay t but it is a 1-2 metre finish

That is it looks great till you get that close then you can see the minor blemishes

Is okay for racecar but not my car

Find the best painter you can afford wether it be a panel shop or bike repair/custom shop and get some quotes

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • 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.
