Haha yeah, I read lots of stuff about the Greddy radiators not taking the stock shroud so I was happy when this one did. Everything fitted up perfect, was great.

Coolant temps stick around 83 degrees while I'm driving now, definently keeping the thing cool

Just need some foam for around the top and in a few spots to keep the airflow through the radiator, but its minor shit really

yeah ive never had a problem with shrouds refitting.. I just broke mine lol. but that's good it all fits sweet. its a pain when it doesn't.

get some n1 slots. although depends bow big intercooler is, that will give some extra air through it

If anyone is interested I have a few things for sale

RB25DET head, complete internally with rocker covers and CAS bracket. Think it has VCT solenoid, if not I have a spare. Has leaking valve stem seal or needs seats cut so would suit a rebuild. Other then that it's in good condition

2 silicon reducers - 3" - 4" and 3" - 2.5"

Stock RB25DET exhaust manifold with heat shield

Just down the road at Freshwater Pt near Armstrongs Beach, just inherited a 4 door from my mate who passed away. Joined this forum cos i know f all about skylines but after driving the thing home from Bowen i can understand why you all love em. Will be slowly restoring it to its former glory as time and funds permit

welcome alan, its always a slow process mate, haha. but you will get there. ive had my gtr near on ten years now, motor was first thing to be done, and just last year was all the cosmetics. slowly tickering with things. most people will be able to help on this forum if you have any questions.

Thanks Jordan, first thing im doing is the body and then brakes/suspension. The performance in standard form is good enough for now but i have a feeling that once the body work and suspension are sorted i'll want some more ponies. I do have a few questions; Is there anyone you can recommend to supply and fit a body kit (doesnt seem to be many options for 4 doors) here in Mackay?? Are there any workshops that specialise in Skylines in Mackay?? And where would i start looking for things like chrome door trims (got one missing) and new headlights, grill badge etc, are there any wreckers who specialise in nissans??

if your on Facebook (or there may even be a website), search for Proximity Motorsport. Leon has been messing around with Skylines etc for years now.

As for the parts for your car, if your chasing them new, I can get some part numbers and see how much for genuine new replacements. You won't have too much luck with wreckers in Mackay, so you'll either have to go through one in Brisbane or further, or buy new.

If you want me to have a look, I just need your VIN number (the 6U900 or whatever number it is isn't important) and a good description and I can search for you.

Thanks Cal, i have checked out proximity on face book, was hoping to hear some positive reports before i spend my hard earned so cheers for that, i'll tell him you sent me. I'll have a good think about the genuine parts i would like to get and let you know. Do you work at Nissan? Can't tell you how much i appreciate your offer to help, thanks again.

I don't work at Nissan, but have access to their parts program and know the best place to get stuff from. When you have ordered as many genuine parts as me you soon work out the best way to get it lol, and it sure as hell isn't through Nissan Mackay

I think Mackay not having much money is half of it. Tune the car, make them happy - then to find out they never had the money to pay in the first place "I'll pay you in a few weeks".

Plus, facebook is bringing the idiots out. Everyone is an expert, no one has a clue..

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
