Yeah man I just spent the last our on perfect run website. I wouldnt of known about them otherwise either

I made the same mistake last night, wasted a good hour just browsing.

Perfect Run is awesome. They use EMS, best postal service I have ever used. Took 3 days fro the time of ordering for my HKS cam gear to arrive. Had a problem where I forgot to change my address before I placed the order, sent them an email and they were very good to deal with, sorted everything out no fuss, no delay.

Thanks mate, just needed a bit more confidence in them before i spent a few penny's.

Now to leave this thread back to the build :yes:

Nice update!

I bet you're hanging big time to get it running.

Yes. I'm very excited as it is going to finally be put together and realizing this is a big achievement (for me anyways) Edited by Ants

Thanks guys,

Yes, I believe next week the car will go to mechanic as I have finally received this long awaited package

That bumper is actually Nismo not N1, they're the same really except N1 bumper is more expensive and is prepainted Crystal White.

Are you certain it's a nismo bar?

Because it only has nissan stickers on there...in addition to that I was not aware that you could procure a Nissan n1 front bar already painted in crystal white, because if that is the case I would probably have purchased that instead.

I always thought that the front bars came unpainted???

Yup, Nismo as in the Nismo Special edition model.

The top 4 are painted various colours with the N1 as you can see at the bottom painted in 326, then you have the normal spec unpainted bars(Early & Late) and at the bottom "ニスモ" Which is Nismo.

Hey Ants, if you find out a price on the painted version can you let me know.

I'm looking to get a Gunmetal GTR front bar for my car, so knowing a new price would help me weigh up my options.

Cheers

Sure thing guys.

Will get pricing this week.

Please note that I will be getting prices directly from Japan I.e not via a dealer in Australia so freight will be an additional cost to consider and budget for.

Horrible news.....THE GTR IS GONE :woot:

IMG_1676_zps64bef558.jpg

gone from my garage :P

there are always some interesting cars in his workshop, just like this crazy s15 drift machine, which allegedly competes in Japan :w00t:

IMG_1683_zpsc8090472.jpg

IMG_1687_zps09c88139.jpg

That's it I promise to take as many progress shots as possible

Ok pricing for front bar is as follows:

N1 (painted in 326 crystal white) $893 exc. postage

Nismo (painted in KH2 gun metal grey) $893 exc. postage

Postage will be with DHL and I would estimate to be around the $150 mark but don't quote me on that yet.

All in all budget for approx $1,000 for painted front bar which in my opinion is more expensive than buying the front bar (unpainted) and then getting it painted in Australia.

There is no difference between the two apart from the N1 bar only coming in white and the Nismo bar coming in grey. N1 only comes in white because all N1's are white as they were built for race homologation in the N1 endurance series.

Anthony just wondering who do you do your parts ordering through? PM me if you'd like.

    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.      
    • It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...
    • Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator. 
    • 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 maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
