Looking good man,

I haven't "done" anything lately but I am about to install a whole bunch of goodies.

Here's what I've got going on in the next week-

Full service on the car which includes: Oil and filter change, diff oil change, gear oil change, spark plugs change, MAF clean, fuel sending unit clean.

Oils I'm using-

Motul 300v chrono 10w40 engine oil

K&n oil filter

Redline heavy lightweight shockproof diff oil 75w90 gl5

NGK Iridium spark plugs

Genuine Nissan gear oil

Mods and such happening soon-

Installing BC BR Racing coilovers (purchased should receive them soon)

SPC Front camber kit install (purchasing next week)

Front and rear wheel spacers (purchasing next week) decided to get a set again and put them on since I'm sick of this wheel gap

Changing my bonnet hinges as one is bent and rubbing on my fender causing paint chipping.

Aaaand that's about it I think. Lucky me got another week off holidays to get all this done, apart from the camber kit and spacers because they're coming from the US.

Chrono... high roiling for a street cargot to do a service on mine this sunday tooFYI go fortune auto over BC

Indeed it is, but I want to give it a shot I've been reading some really good reviews on it and I like knowing that my car is running on high quality products. Well I figured the BC BR coils are perfect for the type of driving I do with my car, which is daily driving and once or twice every few months a run down the strip and that's it. Plus I got them at a good price locally so I don't have to wait 2 weeks to get them from the US providing there isn't any AUS sellers.

PhillB.. If I decide I can still go lower while on 19in without raping my subframe on catseye that what i'll be going

got the motul 5w-40 in mine atm forget the name just a left over bottle a I dont use it in the 14 anymore,might go it agin, or something different

Castrol Titanium 5w30 in with a k&n oil filter.

Also snapped 3 wheel studs - so while I wait on replacements and the car is undriveable - figured as good as time as any to put my BC coilovers and spl arms in.....and paint the calipers.

So far pulled all the suspension out, rears took maybe 30 mins. Fronts about 2 hrs.....had to angle grind off the brake caliper mount to strut after both 12mm nuts rounded off grr.....reinstall Sunday.

One wheel rocked up today as a teaser

Good:

-look brand new... like less than 1000km on them

-dish is epic

-looks amazing

-should easily be able to mod the center cap to get rid of the fake racing nut

Bad:

-comes nowhere close to clearing the brembos on the rear and need at least 8mm spacers to clear

Thus that makes them 10.5-3 effectively so fairly Mexican :(

As its just on wood its running more camber than it does with a tyre

To have a hope of fitting them need to get a 7/8mm spacer, extended studs and run a 245

Would you Consider switching to a non brembo caliper??

By the way- what do brembo guys use as a spare? Mine has had brembos fitted post factory and the stock space saver does not clear front or rear.

Just take a rear off, put it on the front, and put the space saver on the rear.

Doesn't clear the rear either. <br /><br />I assume sport pack v35s have a full sized spare? I will either throw a stock wheel under the floor in the boot or just get some tyre weld.

havent even checked to see what the spare is like in mine :lol:

Other 3 rocked up today

Looks like the guy guttered one of his brand new rims and sold them off as all are perfect except for a gutter rash on the front

They went on without too much hassle.

Ive already got extended studs in the front, but the rear there is no listing. But looking around the front and rear studs are the same on these, so I will try my luck with the same part number as the front and do one as a test. Then just need a 8mm slip on and tyre and ready to go

Had Mitch's / Sheldon's Motordyne Exhaust fitted yesterday and could not be happier, has such a nice tone and doesn't drone unless going up steep hill's. Now just need to get me some wheels and ill be a happy little Vegemite =)

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
