Thanks.



I half expected it to fall. I needed 3 arms so something had to balance but it slipped and got me.

Nearly done, fire is installed but need to fit the last length of flue and seal up the gland on the roof
Would assume it's 0.7 s/s crimped and swaged. I put a 1/2 inch thick flange in the roof split it down the centre and mounted it off the rafters so the top section of the flue had a mounting base to support the weight off the gyprock then a lead flashing on the roof under the tiles externally and 1/2" needle felt glass to insulate the heat from the gyprock under the flange inside. What you've done sounds great with the ventilation around the base and sides. Animal d.i.y. Show us your massive manifold and n/a exhaust.

Well im home.....

Ran a 14.4@161kmh. Car just lays over at the top end so people just drive round me. I get out the hole fast but they run me down. Damn stock ecu and turbo lol.

Staging lanes were rammed and people cueing out the lane gates, and didnt reli wanna wait a hour to get another run

At least you can lauch it! I was crap out the holeshot and had to run everyone down. There were bugger all cars there last week on skyline night so got 5 runs in. Would be a worry to cane it with a fully cold drive train. Xy gtho, charger 6 pack and monaros all ran 14.4 stock from the factory. Pretty good at under half the litres. Show us your Nissan! Well done mate!

If you check out the rear muffler you want on the magnaflow website I can get you a price on the part number. From super cat converters in Wangara. Will have all the dimensions there. Easiest way would be to measure what you have find one that's similar and has a I/d inlet on it slot it and use a accuseal clamp. You would only have to relocate the rear hanger bracket then?

i'll take a look, but I really don't know shit about my exhaust.

i watched WM on youtube. there is 26 x 22minute episodes plus there is a movie
 
i enjoyed the series more than i expected. initial D was better but its still very good. the movie isnt bad from memory either

Started watching the Wangan. Ghost-z lol. Way better than foxtel or tele though!

Cheers, i woulda went last week bit football is my only real form of exercise lol getting it going was easy, 2.0 to the 60ft. Its not slow by any means, jist that top end lay over.

The things i'd do for a 240z.... 

My mate Daniel had one about 20 yrs ago was a sweet ride 2.4 bored to 2.6 with side drafts. Black and original. He swapped it for a cbr and a few grand cash. He wishes he had a time machiene!
Is hank away or something?
Also, any brake rotors and pads recommendation? Looking at DBA T3 slotted for fronts and T2 slotted for rears or Dixcel SD/HS (but HS is so expensive).
Pads Project Mu Bspec to go with Dixcel or Red Stuff to go with DBAs
Thoughts?

I got
Alcon advantage extreme big brake kit front/rear
6 piston monobloc calipers 365x32mm 2 piece rotors
4 piston monobloc calipers 350x32mm 2 piece rotors paired Alcon Brake pads

makes 180 back to 60kmh faster than what u get up to with max boost.
Puts a smile on everyone when thay back to normal in a flash literary i reckon 2sec
Washed the car too not much dust but whatever was there easy to clean .

    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
