Took mum for a drive in Rosie - she was superisingly pretty good haha. She used the turbo twice (barely if that) kept gear changing at 2,500RPM - she was pretty feaked out when I took her for a spin and I barely put my foot down :( But a good drive nonetheless. :D

Hahaha! Cool. :cool:

I had both Mum n Dad in my car a couple of weeks ago, we were talking about turbos and relating it to how Dad drives everywhere at low revs. (3 L V6 Navara)

So I showed them the difference between doing 80km/h in 5th and 80km/h in 3rd. :laugh: Certainly got a reaction.

I've been a little Freaked since Friday cause my car started making a weird whistling noise.

Thinking maybe the worst (turbo) or split hose, belt squeal etc but it was really inconsistent.

Speed seemed to contribute towards it but it would also do it at low speed or stopped and idling.

Free reving or Boost didn't really seem to affect it in the way you would think. :unsure: Puzzling...

Sounded like that whistle you get sometimes with a roofrack or something outside the car whistling thru the air...

:whistling: Turns out, one of my dash vents was closed and the air rushing thru at speed or even with the fan being on was causing it. :whistling:

:rolleyes: Thank F**k!!! LOL

Spent ages making a perspex box... and snapped it on install. >_<

Got a few more bits in the engine bay, got my oilcap today same as robs.

Spoke to Award diff and gearbox, no 1.5 way diffs for 6 weeks, Kaaz is behind in manufacturing, and Nismo got fked up by a tsunami.

Going with a Kaaz 2 way. 1800 and something dollars for a properly installed 2 way, thankyou. Couldnt do it cheaper if i did it myself.

Should be ready monday, which means ill have it back and installed by friday. :banana:

Found an extra 20 wasps hiding in the top end.!!

Had Safc2 tuned, plugs gapped at .7, and no air leaks found =)

A little disappointed that no correction below 4000rpm, so no better fuel economy around town, but i guess that's a good thing..

Happy days! :woot:

Now just need to save $2k for new new turbo.

AWESOME!!! SAFC FTW!!! :thumbsup:

They should've done the low throttle map too. :wacko:

You got 0.3 kw more than my first tune too.

Nice one James. :ninja:

Hiflow from Hypergear for $1000.

Doesnt matter lambada sensor will control efficiency.unless you drove at wot all the time

Got the Final tune done.... She is complete. Extremely happy. No more work to be done at a shop until a throw the haltech in later this year/next. Next: Engine bay pretty up.....

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
