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.....

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
