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.....

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
