New day, new excuse to waste money.

Car going to fab next week, and somehow a simple "hot pipe extension & new cold side" is now involving a new catch can, new pipe work, relocating shit, reinforcing the subframe, etc.

I honesty think a cocaine addiction is cheaper and provides more happiness and mental health :D

yeah but can you drive cocaine?

you can, have enough and you'll be floating LOL

Then again, can you drive the Skyline? the only time I drove it in the past 12 months was onto a tow truck, off the tow truck and reversed it up my driveway.

You make some very good points 😭

I don't drive my car because I have to get it re-insured for a decent value, not what it was worth 8 years ago

If we all had M2/3/4/5 we would use them!

As if anyone would aggressively drive something like a M5 on the track. Even price inflated Skylines are nothing compared to the costs of running/maintaining/replacing something on those lol.

I just built my own E39 M5 :P for the budget conscious gentleman!

Mate just sold his 33R weekender and bought an 09 C63, reckons it's better in basically every way and now he dailies it. Srck6 exhaust sounds ridiculously good 0_0

New day, new tow truck adventure 😂

Off to (more) fab work, at the same time I thought why not take out the subframe and weld in extra plates for strength and replace all the bushes (again) since they're all McFked.

This time round, I'm not using Superpro polyurethane diff bushes and going with harden rubber. I don't think the polyurethane stuff is up to the abuse I throw at it. They've all deformed, some cracked and cause the diff to move around now. As for the subframe bushes, I'm just replacing them with the GKTech harden rubber ones (currently Hard Race ones) as it sits the subframe a bit higher, meaning I will have ever slightly more closer to OEM geometry. I need all the grip I can get here 😊

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
