Nice work keeping it upright during all of that btw.

My least favourite sound in the world is that SSSSHHHCCCCCCCRRRRRRRRR noise of fairing plastic sliding down bitumen.

And as you slide along nearby, knowing that even in a minor crash every second that sound goes for is another thousand bucks at best....

SSSHHHHCCCCRRRR - Kaching! $1000

SSSHHHHCCCCRRRR - Kaching! $2000

SSSHHHHCCCCRRRR - Kaching! $3000

SSSHHHHCCCCRRRR - God no make it stooooop!!! $4000

*shudder* the sound haunts me in my dreams :D

Ever tried standing up after a crash only to realise that you haven't actually stopped sliding yet? Pretty funny to watch - so i am told. :)

I can imagine it'd be amusing to watch... I'm not in a hurry to give someone that opportunity though haha

Mind you I've come a cropper on dirt bikes a few times, and there's ALWAYS someone around to witness it :D

Me neither... ;)

the bikes back together... :P

went for a quick squirt today (had the day off) and im happy as larry

(assuming larry is happy that is)

Larry is always happy mate.

I assume a wheelie was on the cards?

I've always wanted to ride bikes but I'm too dangerous in a car so I think it would be a bad idea.

on a sidenote, because i didn't want to start a fresh topic, and doing a general search didn't find any result,

if I go with a Greddy plenum, do you still retain side feed injectors, or do you have to go top feed?

cheers

You can run either. The side feed ones go straight in. Top feed ones will need to have a rail to go with. They come with spacers etc to fit them. Just make sure you check with your injector supplier to make sure you get the right equipment.

I assume you are asking because you want to use your side feed ones?

cheers for that

I am just slowly picking up parts here and there as i come across them, and am not planning on putting them in until i have most of the hardware, to save on install costs, and on time the car is off the road.

at the moment haven't decided whether to go with a front facing plenum or not, so just checking that if i do decide to go ahead with it, i won't be wasting money buying side feed injectors.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.

    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
