did some electrical work on the weekend - always so time consuming because I've learnt the hard way over the years that taking shortcuts and rushing the job will always cause headaches down the track. So i spent two days installing my reverse camera, and installing the amp. See pics below:

1. Alpine PDX-V9 - this is a 5ch amp that will run my entire system. It has 4x100wrms and 1x500wrms but birth sheet shows a fair bit higher numbers. It should pack a punch. But not only that, it's smaller and about half the weight of the mono block it replaces. I love it. I mounted it under the floor for a clean stealthy install. Took the TV tuner and mounted it where the Bose amp used to be, and put the Alpine where the TV Tuner used to be. Used all stock brackets, no cutting or drilling - so 100% reversible (the best kind of mod).

2. Even though it's a digital amp and runs a lot cooler than a traditional A/B amp - it's still a very enclosed location. Decided to install a little 12V computer cooling fan to extract heat from that compartment into the spare wheel cavity. It's hooked up to the remote wire so it comes on whenever the amp is on. Had to cut a hole in the plastic trim - but I reckon it looks pretty sweet and functional.

3. All hidden away from prying eyes and protected from flying boot fodder. . Maximum boot space. That's a win in my books!

(ignore spider grill thing - came with the car, and ironic because i'm hyper arachnophobic - that will be going once i decide on a new sub).

R6n350GT :

When you go for the dyno, do a run with and without the plenum spacer in. I did a test on my car and actually lost 3-5 kw through the mid range with the spacer in at 6psi. Spacers are designed for NA cars, I'm not sure they provide a benefit when turbod. Test it out.

I will do, wonder if i even have the old shorter bolts.. ? can i use longer bolts still ?

I thought g35driver had done dynos showing good for FI?

Cant wait to get it done !!

Turbo be arriving this week so its getting closer :)

Need to find guy that does custom piping in goldcoast

Yeah, I got told it was good for Fi too, bought one, and installed it on the dyno. Didn't gain shit, lost power.

You might be able to use those bolts, but you'll need to find some bolts for the middle 6.

What's the plan? Gt35 or t51?

HKS 3037Kit but modified so FMIC and 3582 CHRA inside the 3037 housing

Fully built engine with S2 BC Cams

Nice.

will be interesting, but surprised you didn't go to a T3 housing. I think the 1.12 housing in the kit is T2 isn't it?

i was talking to scotty about that, seemed there would be alot of fab work changing adapters, making room etc and didnt want to risk it not fitting :/

There would be.

At the end of the day - it has a 60mm gate for excess pressure, and should have enough flow to keep the GT35 spinning at a decent rate.

Dyno graph when done please :)

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
