slowly been ticking things off the list, wastegate done, o2 sensor port done, intercooler piping done, paint all front arms done, just need to find a set of injectors still unsure on what to run or to go top feed.
after months of looking i finally got my hands on the wiring harness for the starter and alternator ( also does oil pressure sensor)

first attempt at tig welding dont jude

Car is still here, still slowly ticking things off the list, fuel line is sorted for now, just going to run standard injectors and rail for the meanwhile , then either go for a top feed setup with 666cc injectors or cut the ends of the standard rail and weid an fitting on and put sti yellow injectors (really cheap here in nz and bolt and plug straight in as i've been told)

had another go at tig welding, welded the throttle cable bracket together, my tig welding is slowly getting there, love it so much more than the mig. still need to make up a proper bracket due to i just welded the old shitty one the old owner must of made up to a 4mm thick plate with a few holes in it

Got around to heat wrapping the downpipe and wastegate pipe, just makes everything look so much cleaner

Air temp sensor fitting and bov adapter welded on to the intercooler pipe by a friend now the piping is all done. heater lines are all hooked up and ready to go.

alternator is all mounted, for some reason i've misplaced a box of parts it seems like it, can't find the radiator lower mounting bushes, alt adjuster bolt, shit loads of nuts and bolt, so had to go buy new parts or make stuff up knowing my luck ill finish the car and find all of them in the most stupidest spot.

im at the stage of sending the car away to wiring but cant at the moment because the wife need a new car, so once that over it can be sent off but while i wait i've just been touching up the small things eg wipers, painting parts/wheels, mounting overflow bottle etc...

    • 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.
