For the NZ wiring kit (which Yelsha copied) the black wire is + and the white is -. For me (according to my wiring notes) I have the black (+) connected to pin B1 and white (-) pin B5. Hope that helps? -
At this stage I have wired so the pressure switch and fan switch are separate switched inputs in the ECU. I have then provided an 8A output direct to the compressor for switching. However, I do like your way, as it would mean one less input needed.. maybe if I run out I’ll switch it. are there any other conditions you would turn compressor off? Launch control active etc?
-
AC is now all wired up. The fan switch and pressure switch are hooked up as inputs via the ECU and the compressor is an 8A HCO via the PDM. I’m assuming I need to set the pressure and fan switches as generic switches/inputs? And then have some conditions to switch the fan and compressor on/off? engine bay all buttoned back up: I ordered a TAARKS power steering pump AN10 fitting, as I’m thinking I’ll mount the power steering reservoir in the airbox, to tidy up the bay a bit more. i have also noticed some brake fluid leaking around the reservoir of the BMC, so hopefully nothing serious. I’ll be flushing all the fluid and replacing when I do the rotors and pads. in other news, I have booked a conference in Sapporo Japan at the end of August, so I have given myself three full days in Tokyo, so feel free to provide recommendations on where to go. The Nismo factory/showroom is top of the list so far.

I have been stuck into house renos every spare minute I’ve had lately, so the skyline has been neglected in the garage.. I have decided not to run the finned cam covers and sold them, I just wasn’t 100% happy with them. I also got scammed on FB market place, where I thought I had purchased a nice condition boot interior. So fair to say enthusiasm to work on the car has been low anyway.. it’s raining today and the kids are out of the house, so I thought I’d find some motivation and finish up the A/C install: I gave the bonnet latch and bracket a paint black, as it was pretty ugly and so it’s less visible through the grill. The compressor is so much smaller and lighter than the old OEM unit. I also had to modify one of the AC hard lines, as it was fouling on the wastegate down-pipe. This isn’t a criticism of the FPG kit, as there is no way he could allow for every turbo/wastegate/exhaust combo out there. I actually think it sits nicer this way now anyway, as the lines sit nice and parallel against the wheel arch. I think the favourite purchase is the purchase of the bonnet prop/stay clip, as my car has never had one in my ownership..

It’s not ideal but you would need to disconnect terminals from speaker and feed through door as you take them off. I needed to add a cable anyway for my central locking solenoid for the alarm, so I re-purposed the old speaker cable for that and then the new wire was for the speakers

like this

I ended up drilling a hole in that door connector to pass some new speaker wire through. A large portion of the connector is blank, so it fit in there well and didn’t impact the other terminals/connectors. You don’t need to drill a hole in the female part in the door, as it’s not sealed and allows cable to be fed through. looking good!
-
I think it’s a Denso style connector?

I just asked TAO and he recommended .63.. I’d recommend sticking to .63 if you want a similar power figure and the best possible response. I’m running a completely un-opened motor too, so I could push harder if I wanted but I asked the tuner for some reliability, which is why we limited boost. I’m no turbo expert, so I’ll let @hypergear answer that but I’m assuming the trade off for the slightly bigger housing would be response. I’m assuming they may be for a slightly larger displacement engine? Put it this way, if I were to do it again I’d go the .63 again. -
Also, i think that the finned RB cam covers I purchased are not the genuine rb20 red top finned ones. I believe they are standard 20 covers that have been milled very slightly to create the raised fins… Im not sure if the guy I bought them off even knew, however, the fact they didn’t come with a matching valley cover is now a bit of a give away.. Anyway, annoying as it is, they are still a unique piece and they were modified very well, so I will get them painted up and put on the car. Now to chose the paint color…

So I have had a bit of time over the weekend and decided to make a start on the AC kit: As usual, the FPG gear is top notch quality. I'm glad that when I wired the car I had the forethought to provide some spare wires in the engine bay. Luckily one of these wires was a 25A high current output cable from the PDM suitable for the thermo fan. The strategy will be to run all the pressure switch and ac clutch via the haltech, so I can have better control, like turning the compressor off at higher rpm’s, hard launches etc. I can also use the fan for general cooling duties etc. At this point I’m also thinking I should just buy the FPG power steering pump kit because all other ancillaries are new..

Hi All. I’m not sure what pin type this is: im sure it’s a common one. For reference it is off an AC pressure switch on a R33. Thanks

The NZ build mentioned above is mine.the ATR43ss2 is a weapon if you’re after 300ish kw on 98. I have seen so many good results from @hypergear over the years, and Taos input to these forums and general support to the members was the key reason I chose hypergear. At those power levels there is no need for a new manifold. No spacer was needed to install the unit. I chose for the external wastegate plumb-back version, which has the exhaust housing modified for an external wastegate to be fitted. i made a conservative 311kw and am hoping for over 360kw once I get motivated and modify the fuel system for ethanol. -
