Got the new trailer last week, worth every cent. Car can be loaded without removing the front bar and airing out the air bag is cool. Now just need to upgrade the tow car.

Swapped the 4.36 ratio diff into the race car so can now put the gtr diff back in the sil80.

Top shafts are gtr, bottom standard gtst. Might drain the 98 and start E85  tune on the race car.

Got stuck into the HQ last week and fitted up the msd unit and dizzy. Should have done this year's ago has made the car enjoyable. Will fit extractors and twin 2.5 exhaust when I get back from next shift at work and start tuning the carb so it's not so rich.

And started new job in Brisbane. Finally got to do a back to back Dyno of standard plenum VS short runner intake on a standardish Rb25 (kinagowa td06, e85, 25psi, greddy fmic, 3 inch exhaust, link g4 plugin) big hit to mid range power. IMG_20191210_110548.thumb.jpg.0992b12b5b24dc9dfd1ed6f4e5c3daad.jpg

Nitrous almost all setup on the HQ

Race car now lives in Brisbane, been drifting the 180sx heaps. Bent steering stuff last week so need new lca & tie rod at minimum and new mirror & door handle after clipping a barrier.

A late night update 

HQ got 4 into 1 extractors and twin 2.5 inch exhaust, finding someone to fill nitrous bottle is turning out to be difficult.

Finally changed oil on drift car. Went to archerfield and had a great time, cars a little worse off but driving has improved

Actually made small progress on the sil80 and started stripping brake calipers for powder coating and new seals

Nice. 

Wouldn't a local BOC or SupaGas fill it for you? If not then find the local performance workshop/engine reconditioners and see if they know? 

Any clips of you banging in to shit you dirty drifter? 

BOC don't do nos system, just the industrial stuff and the one that does only does it a week before a big drag meet in Cairns or Mackay, should have just LS it. 

Got some in car stuff, will go through it when I get home as still in Brisbane for work.

Drove QR Autumn Matsuri last weekend. Heaps of fun and driving with mates that made the trip from Townsville.

Blew a welsh plug out of the block Saturday night IMG_20200308_073705.thumb.jpg.1b26c81e57704497f1839dab50768b5c.jpg

Got a new one and got it in and drove until the last 1.5hrs when 3rd gear decided to finally explode. Got a video from in car that I need to edit.

Did post event comp test and tested 150-155psi, tested cooling system too and all good. New s14 gearbox was sourced and inspected before install, all new filters and fluids all ready for Thursday night at Archerfield drift. Definitely need to go e85 as extra 20kw would help on the big tracks. Once I get home hopefully do a few more steering mods and fix a few chassis problems.

Boom boom with the box!

How did the pads go? 

They go pretty good but bloody noisy. Haven't done any really big stops(over 160kph) yet. Will go the performance street ones next.

You'll get sparks too with big stops ?

Is the video cool?

Happy you're out driving, makes me miss it, in the meantime I cut wood and build sheds (and ruin my elbows!).

 

Video added. 

Need to find something simple to get out there and have fun in- 350z/v35 would be my pick atm

How big the new shed?

    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
    • To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
