Hey guys and gals, just got a FMIC kit for my car a few weeks back and am planning to install it either this weekend or next. I want to know however, anyone out there done one of these before and want to give me a helping hand? I'm gonna need to cut under the washer bottle and would rather a keen eye from someone who's done it before just in case :thumbsup: Of course they will be well looked after with food/beers/etc and maybe even some folding stuff (read: cash)

Anyone interested?

I would help Luke, but am flat out this weekend, and if Port win tomorrow's game, will be in Melbourne all next weekend for the Grand Final. I am probably available the weekend after though. Duc is the expert in these matters and doesn't live too far from you - maybe fire him a PM.

Yeah was gonna give it a go myself but the only thing I'm weary of is cutting underneath the washer bottle. If it was a direct replacement, no worries. But, since there are so many helpful peeps here on SAU I thought I might ask for a bit of help :laugh:

Yeah sorry we are off to the Grand Final this weekend Luke - otherwise I would come help you for sure. I also have the appropriate size holesaw if you want to borrow it mate. Really isn't a hard job - you just line up by eye where you think the hole should go. In the end the silicone joiners give you tons of latitude to get it wrong and it won't matter as long as you are kinda close. You might have to shave your engine fan if the pipe hits too - use a stanley knife. You WILL need to trim the inside of your front bar - we used an angle grinder (watch out for molten plastic - Duc knows what I am talking about) - but a jigsaw would be easier.

Whiplash/Nick - thanks again for helping me do mine! You were tons of help - don't sell yourself short >_<

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
