we finally have a good 999 car.... eddie decided using other people's crap was too hard so he purchased quite a nice Emo 8, all prepped up :)

i drove said EMO 8 tonight, it's no GTR but nun the less not bad for an EMO

Ignition Module Needed:

Melinda's car (GTR #832) has new engine fitted and dynoed today by the great guys at GT Auto Garage, but it shit the ignition module half way through. finished the dyno with a lend from a customer car, but had to give it back. I have exhausted my contacts in Brisbane, and will try Just Jap tomorrow morning and see if Steve can bring one with him (if he hasn't already left?)

We are leaving for the drive down tomorrow night though, and would be good to know we have one before we set off..

Anyone with any ideas on where to source one

Cheers

Paul

Thanks for all for the replies guys, great response from the rally community!

We have a couple of leads to chase today in Brissy and and I'll ring the Just Jap guys today as well. Also a couple of modules waiting in Hobart if we need them..

Cheers

I'm arriving in Lonnie saturday. Will have the customary piss up at the Olde Tudor saturday arv/evening.... and this time, Dicky Johnson is joining us :)we finally have a good 999 car.... eddie decided using other people's crap was too hard so he purchased quite a nice Emo 8, all prepped up :)

I heard it comes complete with Bibles and Holy Water.....

A little off topic, especially considering the timing, but I'm going to Tassie with my car (on the boat) in the couple of months. I'm staying at Coles Bay for a couple of nights and won't be straying too far once there. I've got 3 hours to kill on arrival before my wife flies in, and then there is the journey to / from Coles Bay plus any worthwhile detours I could consider. I'm looking for some fun driving roads and thought if anyone would know it'd be the Targa crew.

If you've got any suggestions then perhaps PM so we can keep this thread clean(er).

Cheers.

That's easy Nick, take a run up the east coast to The Sideling, or any of the roads around Elephant and St Mary's Pass. Download a Targa Map and cross reference it, not hard to find great roads in Tas! :D

I have one I am not using for the next couple of weeks in Melb if you need it. Pretty sure it's at Racepace in Bayswater if you can drop past there and grab it.

Drop me a message if you need it i'll call ahead and make sure its there.

Yeah they're not exactly rare Paul, I'd assume you'd have one by now?

Yeah you wouldn't think so Woo but trying to get a good one locally yesterday was near impossible. Thanks to the JustJap boys and the Hobart connection at Moonah Auto Spares, there will be a couple waiting for us in Launceston.

It split the front turbo oil drain pipe on its last dyno run today, and had to get that from Sydney too, not a one to be found here..Hopefully that's the last of the issues?

Leaving at 5.00 in the morning, see you all in Tas

Well it's my module your getting from Moonah Auto Part's, Troy's taking it and your fuel drum's up to lonnie on friday

if you need anything else my car is apart on the hoist, so you can borrow most thing's, it's kinda like Noah's ARK

there's 2 of everything in my workshop at the moment, 2 engine's, 2 gearbox's, 2 diff's, there's shit everywhere...

Thanks heaps Burgz. hopefully we won't need it but good to have a spare. The one JustJap Steve is bringing down is straight off his car & proven good. He has changed to a R34 setup bacause he was sick of these failing all the time. Catch up with you for a beer down there..

Cheers

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • 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.
