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:

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.....

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
