hey guys.
my names matt, and am completely new to the nissan scene.
have came from a subaru... so there is ALOT to get use to and such.. but i'm loving it!

traded my 03 XS luxury model Forster for a mint condition 96 S2 R33 with 133k on the clock. only mods on it so far are a 3 inch TBE with seperate wastegate pipe on the dump, HKS cannon, pod filter, GFB atmo bov, HDI boost controller w/ gauge and a set of ugly ass 20's :yucky:
but a clean swap for the forester, there was no way i was passing that up!! with more than double the power of what my forester had, i'm more than pleased with my purchase :D

went from this,

to this,

so looking forward to meeting new mates and getting amungst the fmorum!

might want to fob off that atmo bov because afm car no like atmo bov.

yes its on the list of things to be removed. will be getting a plumb back bov amongst other things (fmic etc etc) then it will be off for a tune when i get the money.

out of curiosity what does it affect with the car?

the afm measures airflow going into the engine, using that information, tells injectors how much fuel to put int, while the atmo bov releases intake charge into atmosphere, which upsets the whole air flow measurement, so you overfuel.

that is my understanding.

ahh yeah well that might explain why my fuel consumption is dog shit lol.

need to get me a recirc. bov asap!

That can be a number of things... Find yourself a decent tuner that has an idea of what is going on and that should soon be sorted :)

GuiltToy (Anthony) is back tuning in Newcastle, Bellevue have a Mainline dyno now too... You can travel a bit further and see Jez on the Central Coast (He is a guru)...

My advice would be to avoid a certain shop... Starts with B and ends with lacktrack! Myself and many others were left with a bitter taste after being ripped by them in the past...

Enjoy the car and stay away from Newy on Thursday nights!

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      I've got a 2011 J50 that I imported six years ago. The unmodified factory AV system date and time has always been correct ( Japanese timezone of course ) up until last month. About two weeks ago, at engine start, the system wished me a happy new year ( in Japanese of course ). I can't think of anything that would make the system think that the date had changed, unless the GPS component has failed/reset somehow ? I checked the GPS reception in the system settings, and it can still see the satellites. Has any other J50 owner had this happen ?  It's no biggie, just annoying that it tells me the wrong date anytime I start the engine. 😅

      Love following your adventures on IG, hopefully if you're still around in Japan when we visit again wouldn't mind going for a few beers with you (that's if you're keen on hearing how I hate Nissans).

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
