hi all i thought i should post up some pics of my car as i have had it for a while but have been lazy.

i brought it as a pretty stock turbo auto 4 door.

so far its copped the following mods:

pedders lowered springs

nismo 260 dash

tomei boost gauge

omori exhaust gauge

HKS turbo timer and EBC

drift pineapples

hicas lock bar

front and rear sway bar.

a few sets of rims.

GTR front mount (not fitted)

RDA slotted rotors

bendix pads

just to name a few.

it was in fairly average condition when i got it so ive replaced the drivers side mirror, passenger side vent and

have had to do the water pump but its all been fun.

hope you all enjoy the pics.

Nice Damo, Love the tail lights too and I like what you have done with the boost gauge.

Is that a different wing? Still love the 4 doors, that is what I originally purchased but a long story!

Now get that manual box in! You won't know what to do with yourself! :P

yea i forgot to add the east bear tail light covers. they were just being test fitted when i took the pic. im pretty happy with them and ive sprayed them myself. just a few more coats of clear and they will be on for good. they certainly make the back look better.

yea i like the boost gauge idea but i have since straitened it up was going the drift look but it just looked odd. ill post up another pic soon of the other gauges ive put in.

the car is handeling well now i just cant wait to get a manual in it.

Is this the same car I used to see parked in Bathurst st Carpark?

Now sometimes parks just off Margaret St.

yep thats the one. the old owner used to park it there. i work at carswell auto elec so thats why its parked there.

Hi mate, where did you get the Nismo 260km speedo from, as i would like to get one myself.

Cheers, Raymond

thanks for the nice coments.

  • 4 weeks later...

thought id post up some pics of my latest work.

i just finished modifing my nismo strut tower brace to house a brake cylender stopper. i also had the cross bar highly polished thanks to a good friend of mine. some of the pics arent real clear but you get the idea.

ive also just fitted a gereddy catch tank and drift oil breather. i haven quite finished it yet as ive been waiting on a T pice.

ive also just installed rear adjustable camber and toe rods from just jap as well as some uras sterring spacers which have given the car a tad more lock. and i have custom made castor rods and gusseted castor brackets going in before the weekend.

ill take pics of that next time i have a wheel off.

hope you all enjoy!

    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
