Aussie VIN number - done

High Mount Brake light - done.

A few other ADR items like tyre placard, fuel filler neck, unleaded only fuel sticker etc also done.

It's been a good start to the weekend so far. Godzilla is 25 years old this year. That means - Club Permit!

Finally road legal after 9 years of arriving down under.

Looks great and gets better every Pic

where did you get the high mount brake light from and are you happy, is it secure enough ?

I bought one similar and the first hot day the double sided tape let go :( (POS)

Thanks mate.

Light is a Narva 84650BL. Came with 3M double sided tape & the LED's can be angled. Hope it isn't the same one you tried that fell off :)

Autobarn stocks them.

I tried to get a Hella 5237 multiple times from the local Repco but gave up as they didn't get back to me multiple times.

Thanks - *nervous look* It is the exact same one and they're ADR approved. I bought it from Repco.

may have been the way I applied it though I did use prepsol on the glass first. It was about 38 degrees and in the sun all day. So a 50/50 chance.

If it does fall off on a hot day Wurth make a brilliant industrial strength double sided tape. :thumbsup:

Hmmmmm. I'll see how I go with it. I'm planning to replace it with the Hella down the road anyway

Thanks for the tip. Is the Wurth double sided tape good for side skirts etc too?

Do tell :)

race tune.

Currently on my setup I'm making 350kw at 20-22psi on the -9s with 98pump fuel

This is the everyday tune that is also safe on the track as I track my car a lot now

I have been told by my tuner there is more in them but not with 98

E85 maybe this year but I do daily my car, just got a new car for daily duties this month so we shall see

There is heaps of potential in these turbos if your setup is good enough, they won't crack 400 but when you have full boost by 3800rpm who cares haha

Wow and I thought I was up at odd hours on this forum :)

Something to consider (and this has been done to death on here), the only way to truly compare is to have the cars on the same dyno, on the same day, with the same wheel/tyre combo. At the end of the day 350rwkw is awesome on -9's.

btw do you have a dyno graph of your final run?- I'm more curious about the boost curve on these turbos as I know my setup was modified to hold more boost so wanted to see what they do on the top end on different setups.

On night shift this weekend ?

Yea I know all dynos are different and tyres blah blah

Numbers don't mean much to me all I wanted was something reliable with some power

I'll find the dyno sheet and post it up

They do drop off in the top end, that's just how the turbos are

Edit

329 run

B904E5CD-A205-4487-AB5D-DFBD41AF5104-568

350 run with stuffed cat screwing the top end, will go for another run next service I think

Nice. What gear - 3rd?

Ditch the cat :)

Loving this build. Keep us updated!

Thanks mate. Will do :) Still so much to do!

Went down to Apollo Bay yesterday with an old mate of mine. Covered around 500km's and she ran well all day, even through the unsealed roads we came across accidentally. Got to pretend it was a rally car for a short while. They both got a tad dusty.

Livin the dream, You didn't go down Wild Dog Road, just before the entrance to Apollo Bay did you? Love that Road.

Also, are you planning on coming on the SAU Apollo Bay Cruise in a couple of weeks?

Hah! Yes we did :)

I now understand why it's called Wild Dog Road.

Hmm possibly, man.

It's a bit rough but an awesome drive. Great views once you get to the top.

Looking forward to it. It'll be the 1st time I've taken the car down the GOR since I bought it.

Hi Shivam, I'm the guy from Perth who approached you & your mate while you were resting up in Apollo bay on Sunday.

Found your build thread you were telling me about - good work! It was nice chatting to you fellas. I'm definitely missing my car after a few months away from home as you could probly gather by the way I chewed your ears off!

Enjoy the car after all the hard work mate. You never know I may meet you again later this year if the SAU Nats are held at Phillip Island!

Wes

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
