I've enjoyed having the car back and driving it over the past week, makes me appreciate it more when it's been off the road

So the only thing I've got left to buy is a plazmaman plenum and TB to go with the rest of the upgrades that will go in sometime after trackday next month

I've been looking at a few cosmetic things over the past few days, just to tidy the car up a bit. One thing I've been looking at and reading up on is putting RB26 covers on the 25 head

The 26 covers do look better and from what I've read it is doable with little to no modification.

Just something to think about over the next few months

I've noticed since getting the turbo rebuilt that I'm getting like a surging feeling when slowly bringing the car on boost around 3-4k rpm. It was happening before I blew the turbo but it wasn't this bad

I thought it could of been few things, fuel pump letting go, BOV starting to die, wastegate on the turbo being a bit flimsy.

I did notice that for some unknown bloody reason, the boost solenoid was burnt....

Thinking this was the cause (hoping actually lol) I went and picked up a second hand one from SKyline Spares, changed it over and took the car for a drive. Hoping for a quick $30 fix was too much, this wasn't the cause.

So after a service last night myself and my mechanic took the car for a spin. Once he felt what the car was doing around 3-4k rpm he knew it was the BOV causing the problem. So we'll fit this up either friday or saturday.

My best at EC is 13.6 and I've been told by my mates and mechanic that with the power the car has got, my times should be a little better than this.

Perfect launch, perfect gear change, foot to the floor but I could never get any better than 13.6, so I've always put this down to my driving on the night and never really thought it could be a problem with the car

After diagnosing the surging feeling in the car last night, my mechanic decided to "test the car". 1st and 2nd gear feels really strong but when in 3rd, it's lacking some power.

So either the cams aren't keeping up, maybe the stock ones are too small for the GTRS or the VCT is causing the problem (I know the VCT is playing up as this was one of the things Scott @Insight mentioned)

We'll play around with the car on friday and saturday and see if we can work this out

At least I know now the crappy times at EC isn't me :D

Another SAU trackday has come and gone. I had a blast!!!

I knocked off 3 seconds off my PB from last year in the first session, now at a 1:15

My best each session was in the 1:15 which I am happy with.

I had Nick (levinboy) jump in with me for a passenger session. Even though I didn't knock off any big times after having him in the car, I did learn a lot and it gives me a fair bit to work on for next time

      Can you not just turn it off on your phone if required? I remember a brief on this, well, I remember the brief, not what to actually do. LOL

      Thanks for posting, your engine bay looks tops. I'm fairly sure you posted the wrong video though, I think you were supposed to upload the one from your "private test road" where it's banging off the limiter with the gate open?

      Stagea obd II low voltage

      By MBS206 · Posted

      This is something to be careful of. I did a bit of digging on the NM35, as I spend a lot of time on near brand new cars and CANBus related stuff, which uses the same "OBD2" plug for a fair chunk of making my life easy. The NM35, does NOT support OBD2. The data pin is actually on Pin3, which is a manufacturer specific pin, and requires Consult3 to connect to the NM35. Your low voltage, is either because the NM35 doesn't have 12V to the constant power pin on the J1962 (OBD2) connector, OR, it is attempting the standard comms, (CanBus, K Line, etc) and can't see any voltage on those pins. Some people have had success accessing SOME data from the vehicle on OBD2 specification, using a module that supports KPW. My assumption, like Duncan has stated, it will likely actually be JOBD, where there is some cross over with the OBD2 and JOBD standards. Note, lots of "OBD2" dongles, do NOT support KPW, which is what you need for a lot of Japanese vehicles of this era (And even up until recent years!), EG, Subaru, Suzuki, etc.    The end of this thread is probably worth a read, as some people did find a way to get a display up in the NM35 recently, looks like someone implemented all the stuff needed to make it work. (The right protocols).
