Got my rear tyres fitted, 255, 40, 17. Must massage the guards out a little more, 10-15mm.

Got the box made last night, to cover my wiring mess. fits good, and i didnt snap it this time as ive made it stronger.

All the little hoses and bits connected up, now i have to make some bits to mount the oil and pwr steering coolers properly.

And then more stuff to make properly, no more bodgy brackets with rivets and stuff. Radiator top brackets are going to be tricky to make look good.

Gave my back a good twist this morning, so i was like an old man all day. Last nights chilli & pepperoni added to the effect. :blink:

But i did manage to get some stuff done, a bit of fabricating, new steering cooler, getting it together.

She must be happy, you can see her Aura. :D

Tomorrow I pull out the Intercooler and clean all the oils out.

  • Like 1

Cleaned out the back seats and floor mats and door cards with the shampoo vacuum.

This was the result.

Also pulled out my 02 sensor to have a look at at, Looks to be the original one =\. Hopefully my new one rocks up before I go back to work on Thursday.

If the weather is good tomorrow i'll knock up some brackets and fit my greddy oil cooler.

I keep thinking my car is all good then i see the front =\ Fingers crossed the panel shop calls me before friday so i can get it fixed.

Fitted the oil cooler. Lines took ages to run because we couldn't work out where they were meant to go then found a picture online.

Just need to get a smaller diameter oil filter because the z145a fouls on the sandwich plate.

Once i find a filter that fits I can start it up and check for leaks and relocate one of the horns and the air temp sensor.

why you no listen

Z442 which is slightly smaller in diameter and height (in comparison to the Z145a

Finished the engine bay finally. Took a lot longer than i thought it would.

Thats the problem with too many mods, you have to work it out yourself, how its all going together.

A transmission cooler off a ford at the wreckers, nice and solid, for a return line fuel cooler behind the diff. And $115 delivered, cheapest i could find, made in taiwan.

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
