Ok.......LOL.......Apparently a turbo is a excellent way to muffle down some cold start noise.

Can we start a sweeps for how long before current exhaust is replaced with full 3" decat, straight piped one to get more out of the turbo setup?

WOW, what a difference Dyno is saved file from pre-tune in March to 8 psi boost now, WOW Car is as responsive as farrrrk, pulls hard, WOW Most importantly is that cold start is not

All I'm saying....is I've known you for probably 10 years, and you have even less ability to stop yourself sliding down the slippery slope of modification than me....and I modified a bloody Leaf! And

I'm pretty sure the 2.5" decated system will be fine for 190ish kwatw.

Even with the aded weight of the turbo I'll still be under 1300kg, which isn't bad for a daily with all the modern conveniences.

In other news, I WANT MY BOOST NOW, I'm so f**king impatient, waiting a month for it to happen is going to suck.

Good choice. I've got RE003s on my daily's. Probably the best tire (for the money) that I've ever driven on.

I do prefer RS4's (talk about value for money), BUT, whilst RS4's are brilliant in the dry, they are pretty average in the wet.

Compromises were made because street car.

There was a special on at JAX, 4 tyres and a wheel alignment for $550, bargain.

I am sorry but I still cannot believe that an 86 can turn a 235 tyre........

QFT

LOL

Seriously though, the little girl has surprised a few people.

It ain't no rocketship, but, tuned NA it puts out more than a stock turbo S15, it's currently 145kwatw, add some PSI and it will be around 190-200.

Plus at 1250kg, the power to weight ain't really horrible either.

Opinions may vary

For what its worth, I recently took a little orange Renault Megane 225 to Winton with a tune and similar rubber. I wish I had more tyre and it has the same modest power to weight. Plenty to have fun with. 80+ hot laps in a day also is a breath of fresh air relative to most outings with a broken Nissan. ?


I say continue having fun.

That's the plan

Street alignment all dialed in

Front: -1.5°, 0 toe

Rear: -1.0°, 0 toe

Will be going for a squirt up the pass for a pie on Saturday, I'll then take the long way home via Jamberoo, also with a detour past the lighthouse in the Gong, and by lighthouse I mean the icecream van in the carpark near the lighthouse.

In all honesty though, the set up is more about tyre life and daily driving with illusions of performance, more so than actual performance.

19 days to go till tututututu, which, is the main reason why I'm getting a turbo anyway.......

LOL you what?

Knew you couldn't keep it NA.. NA cars are for homos.

LOL, I did inform the boys at Pulse that the more annoying turbo noises the car makes the better.

I'm not sure that 8 psi is actually enough boost to make annoying noises though.

We shall see on Friday I suppose.

f**k I hate waiting.

In other news: if work sends me away before this weekend I'm gonna have a melt down.

Work has a nasty habit of sending me away for months at a time, just when I am getting something done.

It's like they are waiting for me to drop off my car.

Me: "I just dropped my car at the shop"

Work: "Cool, pack your bags, you leave tomorrow"

      Need to see other side of PCB in that area...ie; I don't see any thru-hole mounting, just soldered vias (smd zeners in SOT23 have 3 legs but only 2 are used, as reflected by PCB tracks)

      Another "where do these lines and plugs go" RB25DET question

      4 to 5 is fine. It will be slow, but that's better than blowing turbos. I don't have a PS pump idle up solenoid on my car, because... I think when we put the Neo in we retained my R32 lines. But.... From inspecton of the R34 vacuum hose diagram, you can see that the solenoid needs to be connected to the turbo inlet as source of clean air) and the plenum (as source of vacuum - which is the place for the air to flow to to cause the idle to increase). So 3 to 1 is VERY WRONG. 3 should go to either the turbo inlet, or the plenum. Follow the other hose from the PS solenoid and if it goes to the plenum, then your 3 goes to 2 2 would also serve as a bleed port for a boost solenoid.

      Pull them out and pull more apart. You can't do shit with them still bolted to the floor of the car.

      Yes it is. ZD1 is on the other side of the board. Where ZD1 is marked is clearly opposite a 2 pin device. Our 3 pin device here is not a ZD.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Alright, a little update on this... I called Fulcrum, who used to be the distributor in Australia. No Bueno, they don't service them anymore.  Called shock works, who don't service them but offered to dyno the shocks for performance, and suggested DNA in Sydney might service them.  Called DNA, who also do not service them and basically said they try to steer customers away from tein for this exact reason these days- there is just no support for them anymore apparently.  Both SW and DNA said they are a not necessarily a bad product, but they just don't service the brand or know anyone who does service the brand anymore.  So... I could keep calling around but at this point I think I'll probably just spring for the shockworks product, unless anyone here knows anything.  Cheers 🍻
