i am curious about my 6boost manifold i thought they were ceramic coated. turns out its not. you guys think its worth taking it back off and have it ceramic coated.......

 

funny this was mentioned my mate just melted his engine harness from to much heat by the wastegate. i ran my wiring in my fender so should be good to go that way.

Be better off making a heat shield IMO. Don’t worry about the expensive paint job, it does sweet FA.

ok thanks mate save me from pulling it apart. we got the catch can and a few other things finished tonight and got fluid in the car. download some maps tomoro and start it. cheers

 

im starting to kick myself for getting a platinum pro and not an elite 2500 at this point....oh well i guess ill use what i got for now. i highly recommend going straight an elite, i dont even know why people bother with the platinum series.

bought it before i even upgraded my twins back in the day. so its just what i have and will definitely work still. if i was an endless money pit i would upgrade again but at this point just gotta get it runnning.

 

 

was still easy to set up the wb1, 4bar map sensor, haltec iat, flex fuel, couple other sensors,  all through the platinum. it is going to work just fine for now. i had to get a upgrade to run 1 to 4 can ports to run the haltech screen and the wb1 through the same system. other than that for a street setup i think im good to go.

Finished getting rid of all the hicas crap and welded a 8an on remaining line from rack. Will run it to the reservoir i made(still need a bracket) and will finally be able to start this thing.  Got the wide band figured out to the haltech it’s almost go time!

I have hit a snag I feel like I don’t have this setup right. The directions don’t even have the pigtail out the back like on my wb1 can sensor they sent so the directions make no sense. Need help finishing this up, I have ordered the can box extension if that’s what I need to get this setup, I ordered it so I can run the haltech screen as well as to my understanding I needed it to run more than one can device with the platinum series versus the elite

Finally got all this figured out for the haltech to power all my shinanigans. Learning way more and finding out the last 10 percent of putting the car together is more like the last 30 percent haha. Getting her done tho slowly but surely. Family life comes first cheers mates

FYI when making brackets like these for your battery get some fuel tank straps and line them(semi shop will have them made from rubber) because you will accidently ground your positive and negative together(hence why my posts are taped because i shorted my brand new battery for half second and learnt the hard way.) cheers

Another night of hammering down on some fab work. I hired a new welder for the shop he’s only 25 and can throw it down. Anything needed he’s done quick with a great attitude I couldn’t be happier.

When your welder runs out of argon on a Saturday in the middle of tree cuttin job! Shift that argon ten speed right back to the shop then full send back to the job site! Catch cans looking deadly this kid can fricken weld.

Well today was the day Just gotta tune her tunes up now. Thanks to Ben (bk) helped me a lot through this, and a bunch of my friends. Was great to see everyone come together to get this car complete. I have learnt many lessons through this experience. Cheers mates. More to come.

    • I've got a 2011 J50 that I imported six years ago. The unmodified factory AV system date and time has always been correct ( Japanese timezone of course ) up until last month. About two weeks ago, at engine start, the system wished me a happy new year ( in Japanese of course ). I can't think of anything that would make the system think that the date had changed, unless the GPS component has failed/reset somehow ? I checked the GPS reception in the system settings, and it can still see the satellites. Has any other J50 owner had this happen ?  It's no biggie, just annoying that it tells me the wrong date anytime I start the engine. 😅
    • Love following your adventures on IG, hopefully if you're still around in Japan when we visit again wouldn't mind going for a few beers with you (that's if you're keen on hearing how I hate Nissans).
    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
