u wont fit 15' rims on gtst brakes, fronts will with a spacer

32 or 33?

32 GTST Brakes will fit under 15"s.

The rears are fine, the fronts possibly requiring it a spacer.

More to do with where the spoke meets the lip of the rim - sometimes clashes with caliper.

If its 33 brakes, dunno about the fronts.

yea whoops may have been thinking of 14's

hey funky, whats the go with the ceffy is it;

a) running

b) in the shop

c) sold

?

rewiring the ignition wiring. worked out it was missing like a kent cos 3 coilpacks were munted.

picked up a full set of 4 CA18 coilpacks for $80 from a bloke who owned a Datto 1200 ute and pulled 3 of em out and about to chuck em in. While I was at it decided to revarnish and wrap the coilpacks so they last a bit longer. Gotta go to South Dandy and pick up the coil winding varnish and heatproof insulation tape though. Maybe on the weekend or something. Also pulled apart the wiring loom and redoing it. So once all that is put together, all back in the car and should run like new ;)

Then off to the workshop to get a roady, then advertising for sale :down:

While it was parked outside my house (granted for 2 months straight) some kent's tried to jam a key in to force the lock and snapped the key off inside it. Luckily I got central locking alarm on it, so don't have to use a key to get into it. Still... shit of a job trying to fish a key blade out of a barrel, might have to take the door apart to pull the barrel out.

ah good to see there's progression, whats this coil winding varnish? will you be doing the coil pack loom with thicker wires for a possible better spark or are you rewiring the ignitor?

i used to spot it every time i came home so being not out the front made me think you sold it, but thats not far off anyway.

dam that stucks, maybe i shud get my alarm working... if you cant get it out a lock smith should be able to get it out.

i'll assure you that it wasn't me trying to see if the cefiro keys work the same :(

yes, they are basically slight better then s13 sr20det brakes

half the time coilpacks fail is cos the insulation flakes off or chips when changing spark plugs. When winding transformers we use this varnish that insulates the coil and is high temp resistant, which works well in an engine. basically you clean the coipack with methanol and then recoat with the varnish. works a treat. I'll have heaps leftover if you wanna grab some and do yours.

    • Took a little trip  went to nismo hoping the get my fuel tank hoses and unfortunately they told me they didn’t have stock luckily I was able to go to a Nissan parts store and they were able to order them in for me  then can home and cleaned the tank with some degreaser and fitted the new hoses before putting it back in the car 
    • 100% I’ll hack into the 33. Strap a turbo onto the RB25DE and/or put the 25 head on a 30 block. 33 passed in cos the reserve was too high. I’ll try lowballing it again and negotiate. Aim is to have it landed and on the road for under 15k, then spend the same amount on top in mods.
    • It's generally best practise to run 1x run without VCT enabled, then 1x run enabled till redline. Overlay the two torque graphs and you'll find the desired RPM to turn off VCT. Sometimes, it might be even worthwhile turning off VCT earlier control torque/cylinder pressure and using VCT purely to spool the turbo.
    • They sell them in Malaysia for about $4
    • First time I ever have issues with Amazon, but my wife often tells me to keep an eye out for fakes. It finally got me. I wrapped up the conversation with Gates. The gentlemen I was talking to seemed to hate his job but the response time on their technical support is outstanding. He stated that the hose is marked with some variation of "SAE J30R10" but that if you only purchase a 1 foot length like I did, it is possible to get a cut between markings and have a blank hose. To no ones surprise, he stated the swelling and "gummyness" isn't normal and to replace/buy from somewhere else (He mentioned NAPA). I'll toss a small end of the new one in gas for a few days before pulling the hanger out again, just to be safe.  Hose should arrive Monday. For those running multiple pump in tank hangers, you know the joys of getting them out and back in. I'm surprised I haven't destroyed my level float yet.  Lastly once I wrap all of this up, I'm planning on hitting the dyno again in 2 weeks while I'm on vacation. I realized recently that my VCT is set to turn off at 5000RPM. I'm surprised it wasn't increased while I was on the dyno last. I'm expecting I can increase it to ~6500RPM, if not more. Should hopefully get another 15-20kw out of it. I also want him to revisit my knock thresholds. I'm occasionally getting false knock around 3000rpm.
