Got my rims and tires back today.. Also helped out Kelly prime his cooling system. Herd a knocking sound on the way over to his house and found that the sway bar connecting bolts were gone. The thing was just bouncing on the frame supports. Thats what I get for taking it to an alignment shop. Don't understand why they would need to remove the sway mounts. I got SPC adjustable camber arms and toe bolts.

Thank god the bushings and brackets are still there, just need 3 new bolts.

That was the most random comment. I really did laugh out loud.

Little DIY for ya... My Sway Bolts were stolen by gremlins so I went to LOWES and got the bolts I needed. Also saw some grease fittings so I bought a few.

I drilled a hole in each bracket and tapped the hole to match the threads and pitch of the grease fitting. When I get under the car I'll make a small grove on the polyurethane bushing to allow the grease to disperse evenly under the bracket.

Started working on the Hood, should have the radius's cut today..Will update tonight.

Nothing new, I sure its been don before on the forum. Just thought it mad sense to do. Cut down on wearing out bushings for all you AutoX guy's.

Got the hood cut today. Kelly wanted a 3rd vent down low. I had a bad feeling about this but Its been done. Funny thing is once you cut there is no going back so I made it work.

I think some cross sections will need welded in to sturdy up the hood for high speeds.

Found out today that my Tune is corrupt! There are two MAPS on the tune one for Cold one for Hot. At 75 or 80 degree's the ECM switches from the cold map to the hot. For some reason my tune isn't allowing my car to switch over. This is causing my engine to starve (Feels like missing or bad plugs). Good thing is Martin is re-writing the MAP and will Dyno Tune it tomorrow free of charge.

Free was the only word I herd while he was discussing the issue with me

. Will take a video and post numbers tomorrow.

. Just in time for Z Fest Sat.

Hey Joe, can you PM me the place you trust to tune your car? I need to get uprev and get tuned and am looking for a good place.

Nut_N_Much · 10-20-2013, 12:04 PM

Not place but person... Martin, he is the UpRev rep for this region and an excellent tuner. Just got done with Faya's car Friday.. He works out of multiple shops, they contact him for Nissan Tunes.

He may Dyno you out of Fever Racing off DaleMabry and Clarke Ave, just remember that the Tuning is separate from the shop. You will see what I mean when you go there

813-817-5601 tell him Joe Fortune sent you, thats his Cell..

Nut_N_Much · 10-20-2013, 12:07 PM

Trying to get a set of these made for me. Lenso will start carrying after X-Mas, working to get them to offer in our offsets, no spacers needed.. Hope it works out, would like to go back to 19's

DIY: Triple Gauge Cluster

Followed the DIY posted above and got the gauges in and working..

Wiring diagram that came with gauges. Running Oil Temp, Oil Pressure, Water Temp, Boost, Volt, Trans Temp.

This was what the DIY said the stock wiring was:

Stock plug on dash:

Need to trim some more to get the hose clamp as far back as you can get it. This does 2 things for you. Allows the clamp to mount flat, also allows the worm screw to sit just behind the dash pad when you insert it to the dash.

Face..

All good, all works, i just need a few adapters to add to the lines for the sensors.

Ya, i have a few things to do. Been shopping around for paint shop. I have CF Zele kit and fenders that need painted. Will swap motor first.

Man the cars are addicting. I just caught myself drooling over the TT from FI. What a sexy kit.

Well motor swap and kit painted, ill be back at it again. Been doing 2 sets of lights for some local cars going to SEMA. I need to get them out of the garage so i can play.

See you soon.
