You've gotta love a Sci Fi geek

I think it may be the most hideous thing I have ever seen ever ever

I was thinking about putting a couple of discrete vents in my bonnet but was concerned that it might look gaudy that puts everything into perspective I think it may be car fanatics bidding on it so they can scrap it and put it out of it's misery

Excellent glad to see all of your hard work paying off

yes you have to go to the tuner menu and log through that to include the afr data, check your email I sent you the manual Oh and no. no more progress slowly slowly catchee monkee as the saying goes and sadly most of my projects

I agree it does look the dogs danglies but I am somewhat biased

Sorry not really any updates I'm still tuning and coming across little things I hadn't thought about that require me starting to tune again from scratch and little niggling problems like having to fit an idle air valve since going over to cable throttle, of which I'm on my third (air valve) but it's getting closer all the time so I will hopefully have something for you soon

Hey just got caught up with this, excellent work looking really good

I've seen this a lot on here and have had the same issue myself on the 350 and other cars but have always found that cleaning up the caliper PROPERLY has solved this EBC and BREMBO both good quality components these should fit perfectly (Just my opinion)

what suspension were these bought to fit ?

yea I don't think it's right this is copied straight off the ebay listing https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/OBX-Individual-Throttle-Body-Fit-For-02-13-Nissan-Altima-3-5L-VQ35-V6/181799772529?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 Precision casted and machined/ Direct bolt-on kit* and in case you were wondering the asterisk relates to this *Foot note: The straight air horns will not fit under the OEM hood. Modification to the is needed. Some assemblies will be required. The operating wheel will need to be taped and tread to desired position. I wasn't actually expecting the direct bolt on bit but the precision cast and machined bit would have been nice

no the filters will be fine (Probably)

this is the conversion to throttle cable instead of drive by wire I welded a short piece of 1/4" bar to the accelerator pedal for the cable I was going to go almost straight on the end of the arm but this would come out behind the brake servo as you can see it's pretty close to the servo and really hard to drill as it's on a sloping bulkhead and generally inaccessible from inside or out yes I know I used a rusty old screw for fixing it but it's all I had at the time I will change it later and there you go just waiting for my idle air valve and I can start it up

yes exactly as you said i could and it would

Ok I've been a bit quiet for a while as i've been having a few issues, the return springs needed to close the throttles properly to ensure stable idle are just too strong for the modified 350z actuator so far I've burnt out 2 of them and have no intention to do a 3rd so I'm going over to a cable setup it means I lose the cruise control but I don't use it anyway also I have to fit an idle air valve to control the idle for cold start, aircon and power steering load etc finding a route for the cable is being a pain but I think I have it sorted now I hope to have it running again this weekend.

ooh er get it on together sorry dan I'm easily amused and I've had a really boring day

yes exactly

is that swarf around the air temp sensor you don't want that getting in the engine

Got the air filters sorted today I like it also took it for a quick spin up the road and back need to do lots of tuning

yea I have a few things in mind for that but it will wait until I get it running properly

people seem to run throttle bodies either without filters or with sock type filters which look like crap I think this looks better and no before someone asks they aren't the screws I'll be using

tiger ?

I have been progressing with this project sadly I'm currently waiting for parts, a spring specifically you'd think I could just pop up the road and get one but no. well I have got quite specific requirements anyway while waiting there was an issue with the end throttle bodies where the throttle position sensor would go the problem being my sensors are in the throttle servo so I needed to cap and seal this shaft i think the Jenvey items come with plastic caps and mine obviously come with nothing so this is my solution I have also tweaked the vacuum lines from the throttle bodies as I was getting too much pulsing so I now have four lines coming from the bodies to the manifold the signal is much more stable now, the Evaporative emisions line is also connected and I have tapped one of the velocity stacks so it will be drawn in between the air filter and the butterfly I've run it in a clear petrol line for now as it's the only hose I had in that size but will change it later. I've also sorted out the PCV system the rockers are now vented to a catch can and again goes to a port tapped into another velocity stack sadly again in clear plastic for now as I've run out of black Ok enough for now as I need to go and order some plastic pipe cause that clear stuff looks like crap

No video yet I'm afraid I'm having some major idling and balancing issues and have had to strip a lot of it back down to sort it out
