The satin finish on the lip looks great!

I've plastidipped the chromed plated grille on my NM35, and the finish has stood up far better than I ever expected.
It gets loads of freeway kilometres, and hasn't got a single mark or stonechip in over 6 months.

done f**k all on the car apart from driving it and being on holidays,
however the new leather boots finally arrived.

old ones were shagged out and even they were aftermarket.

found out, not surprisingly that almost all of the clips have broken underneath which hold the boot on

need to track down one which hasnt been broken...... bet thats not gonna be easy.

pmed :cheers:

clutch pedal started squeaking recently, wasnt the clutch pedal bracket so checked out the gearbox side and found out there is no rubber boot on the clutch fork pivot bit.

sprayed some lube on it and it has hushed down, but where would i get a rubber boot from, looks like i can just get it on over the clutch fork without taking much apart but can you get them new anywhere?

still been doing f**k all apart from doing the daily shit.


did however pop down to see Paul Pavlou motors who were nice enough to find a spot of free time and popped her on the Dyno to get a base power read out.
took the opportunity to bump the boost up till the engine was happy.

to be honest i was quite surprised at the power out put but more importantly the torque output! made bucket loads. and it feels like it too. pulls like a motherf**ker for a stock car.

10psi base run - 14 psi final run.

used a GFB bleed valve for now which holds the boost well, no drop or spike.

now i havn't tuned anything just bumped the boost up keeping an eye on the AFR which stayed happy, nice and safe.

Took it on the adelaide four six rotary cruse last night through the hills which gave me a good change to test it out properly and she pulls along nicely. also it shoots flames occasionally.... so the car behind me said :P

makes me want to get a haltech in there...

insignificant update of putting leds in the number plate lights, but jebus, how f**king dirty did these want to be.
has to use headlight polish to get through the shit.

also it turns out the red reverse light was some super hard to get off (and quite good quality) layover wrap stuff. so thats coming off.

also need to sort out the annoying over tensioned timing belt noise. shits me at idle.
gonna replace obviously the timing belt and associated parts

would this be the cheapest option? if you have the hookup let me know ;)
is this the preferred option?

Should i do the water pump as well?
yeah lets do the water pump too...

should i get an N! pump while im there? i think there just a better impeller blade design yeah? not like the n1 thermostat which f**ks with street driven cars?

    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
