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 :)

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

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
