Cara you will love it!! 75hp is about perfect for the 25's and makes them a hell of alot more fun to drive as eug said with your setup i would expect very low 14's high 13's from it. There a big stigma about NOS but i never had any problems with it, as long as it done properly.

350z shocks are a direct fit mate, I'm running 350Z tein Super Streets, really good for daily driving.

That explains it! Cool thanks again Chris.

mmmm, drag me runs a powerglide... Can i have the record for fastest auto V8 skyline please?

Hmmm, a little less confident today, i went to the workshop last night and asked my mate who had been there all day if the car had sounded the horn or done anything wierd... As he said "no, not at all" it started beeping... i walked over and turned it off and then on again... Perhaps its lonely having sat in the corner for at least 6 weeks and was just happy to see me?? coils have been shipped and should be here by the end of the week... only time will tell i suppose...

I checked the car over as well as i could before i bought it, ive had most of it apart since and i cant see any signs of a major accident, im told it was that colour when it came into the country so maybe just some dodgy jap panel beaters that did the respray?

Not exactly but it appears the IPDM has sat for some period of time horizontally with water in it, im thinking maybe when the car was resprayed (it was already a non standard colour when i bought it) it may have sat for a period of time without the bonnet on it, the bonnet bolts were loose when i got the car, along with some other earths the engine mounts and a few other bolts... Ive since gone over just about every bolt i can find for piece of mind.

Yeah for sure mate, if that is the route we decide to take ill be looking to sell off alot of the parts, ie, microtech, MSD DIS HO ignition system and MSD dual tower blaster coils with the MSD tach adapters to make it all work, The supercharger setup intercooler and piping, injectors and rails with the manifold spacers. Not sure if my block will be worth much to anyone being grout filled, but the heads have been flowed and have double valve springs.

Cheers Warren, I believe there are no coincidences and everything we found last night is related in some way, so now its just a wait for coil packs, i managed to get a set of 6 from the states for just under 400 AUD delivered rather than the usual 200 each from nissan aus, they should hopefully be here next week, its been so long it will be like having a new car again

Thanks for all the help guys much appreciated. Last night i made some progress after a bit more research i got the auto enginuity product to work using the ISO-9141-2 protocol. While doing so the car started beeping the horn for varying periods of time when planes flew over the work shop. Which got me thinking i have some sort of wiring problem. It also threw the variable cam timing solenoide error codes, These are also powered by the same relay the coil packs are in the IPDM (intelligent power distribution module). Upon removing that from the car is seems it had been drowned at some stage in its life with a heap of corrosion across the terminals on some of the small solid state relays, which would have been feeding a positive current into the negative trigger of the ECU that tells IPDM to pretty much power up the whole car, this combined with the loose earth terminal im pretty sure was my problem. So ive ordered another set of standard coils which should be here next week. Fingers crossed its fixed, Thanks again to everyone that helped with this especially Chris, i was begining to loose hope.

Ok i tested the auto enginuity product on my dads 03 comodore ss and mums '03 merc, both worked. With regards to the obd pin outs the us spec '03 wiring diagrams give me pin 8 as ignition, pin 16 as constant, pin 7 as data line, and pin 5 and 4 as earths. I was under the impression CAN systems needed 2 data lines?

Thant would be awesome if u could mate thanks. The 35's dont run an igniter the resistor is inside the coil, ie, direct fired from the computer.

Mate its an intemitent problem that doesnt occur under similar sircumstances, first on went after a 30 min drive, very very sedate driving, second one went 20 mins after installation just after i gave it a stab in 1st and backed off, By this stage we gave the ignition loom its own power and earth, 3rd one lasted over a week, including a weekend at the skidpan then driving normally it decided to die, drivin it to the workshop the remaining 5 went...

Alrighty, Looking at the plug on the car pins 1,2,3,4,5,6 are occupied as well as 9 and 10, The cable i got from auto enginuity supposed to be OBD-ii pins 2,4,6,7 and 10,14,15,16 are occupied? the auto enginuity product is supposed to be can compatible. The car kept melting no. 2 coil pack intermitently until the last time where no. 2 went first and on the way to the workshop it melted the other 5 all in one go...

Sorry forgot to add that i have been told that nissan consult will also not work with the 35's, again im only going on what ive been told not facts... Im really stuck for ideas at the moment.. i know for sure that its not the wiring, if the ecu has failed in some way im also not sure what my next course of action should be other then going a full stand alone ecu which i really dont want to do.

Im using the auto enginuity (www.autoenginuity.com) pc based scanner, unfortunately they only told me that JDM cars dont run the OBD-ii interface, do u know for sure the one ur buying will work with the 35's? The pins dont seem to be in the same place as the cable i purchased im wondering if this is the only difference?

Hey mate, Was reading your thread about your car, do u have the guys number that hooked his scanner up to your 35? mine has sat at the workshop for the last two months as it keeps blowing coil packs and no ones scan tools will talk to the car. Any help would be much apprecated. Cheers John

Thats a very interesting suggestion u have there....

Well still havent looked at it yet, but if it is the engine we will be going with a NA injected 454 simply for simplicity and reliabilty. Its sad it cant stay nissan but its simply not viable to continue the nissan route on my budget, i think what i have acheived on a virtually standard internals engine is only testiment to how good these engines are, perhaps in the future when money is less of a problem i will continue the R n D with the VH.

Well MISH!!! convertor came back wrong... its only flaring to 3000 so it bogged terribly off the line managed an 11.6 before giving up... then when putting it back in the trailer we noticed some sort of death rattle comin from somewhere... havent had time to look at it yet.... Somebody say big block chev??

well unfortunately willowbank couldnt get an ambulance on standby so the test n tune was cancelled, so its out to jamboree tomorrow to see what she'll do.... should be interesting

Buddy ur my new best friend!! haha, sounds awesome, bringing it to the bank when its done be good to go down the strip together, really turn some heads

I spent a bit of time working on try9's (to be try7's) at the end of 02 early 03 at a to be un named workshop who succefully ripped the owner off chronically. I'm pretty sure the owner hasnt made any further development on the car after losing so much money, The body is complete, tubed and gutted but with a lack of engine box and diff. It was to have an Rb30 with one of the biggest turbos i had seen at the time, its a shame...

Congrats on your achievements thus far guys, and congrats on the lil one. You have done an awesome job and gained the respect of many. Cheers John
