yeh i was thinking that too, but the car hasnt done many km's, so i hope its not that, ive treated it good, and its only done 70,000km..... what would be a good diff upgrade?

what exact model of tyres do u have?

if it spins third trust me mass, they cant be good :P

i got some new toyo t1rs, and although i dont have much power they are like night and day compared to my old tyres.

you dont really believe the odo do you :)

well i dunno, but my car is pretty clean Arup, and drives fine, id say it has around the 70,000km on the clock, by looking at the interior and the wear and tear its not bad, so i dunno how many k's but id believe it.... i am due for some new tyres, but its not just that guys, it spins them easy which is wat im trying to say, before the work was done i couldnt even chirp 3rd, i even struggled to spin 2nd with these tyres....

yeah your car is a very clean one, one of the best ive seen, i see what u mean, lots of extra power compared to before :) cant be bad!

i guess when u get your car back you will have plenty of fun frying your current tyres before u get some new ones :P

lol, i will indeed, just have to be carefull not to fry other things!!!!!

thanks for the comments, i think mine is a clean example... i have to take u for a spin soon Arup. Pete, you and i have to go for a cruise soon..

Is the condition known? The $600 1/1.5/2way second hand items have an unknown condition/possible rebuild.

$800-$900 second hand are generally a good second hand item.

Thats what I've came across anyhow. Obviously there are some good deals floating around, just need to be in the right place at the right time. :)

yeh i dunno man, mine seems fine for now, it was just a thought, cant really spend that money on a good working diff atm...

was thinking of working my gear box a little....

yeah i doubt the diff would be that much of a problem. best to save money for other stuff that might break.

either way, cubes, for you info you can get 1.5 or 2way kaaz lsds brand new to your door for $1150 with 2 bottles of oil, so i think 8-900 for a second hand is a bit on the dearer side :)

tuner just rang me and said he found 2 cracvked plugs while tuning today, had to replace them..... i have to say skylines are a hastle some times, he had to take the piping off 3 times LOL...

i cant wait till saturday.....

I've had issues with cracked plugs, that was such a nightmare. I had the plugs out 2 times and couldn't see any cracks, the third I found one plug with a crack, the tuner found another 1.

Need to be very very carefull tightening the suckers up. Keep it 90degree's, I was lazy and left the cross over pipe on and used a swivel. :)

yeh i know he was telling me, he took them out the first time to gap them, then had issues later so he checked them out to find one cracked, then again checked them to find another one cracked.

hey guys, my car is finally back..... overall im happy, although there are a few more things needed...

the car is a little laggy, hits full boost at close to 4000rpm, which is the bad part from all this, but i have to say its a lot stronger....

the car pulled over 240rwkw...

which i think isnt too bad, with the standard engine and cams...

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
