NOTE to all.

Removing pre-cat, mid mufflers and pipes whilst keeping OEM cat and rear muff is a fruitless excercise.

Here was i thinking the OEM cat would flow better than a dodgy compliance cat... NOPE!

Theres virtually no engine noise at all, so i think the OEM rear muffler certainly works well indeed.

so may as well replace the whole lot with a 3" or 3.5" system?

have you had a look in the way of intercoolers yet? i was wondering if it is necessary to go the aristo style one that isnt as high as the 600x300x75 general core.

yeah 3" should make it go very hard. I threw on a filter and she sounds awesome. It has the R34 GTT turbo noise, but with added V6 induction note. Unreal.

In regards to coolers, you'll have to hack up either the front bar supports, or some other bits and peices. I recon it would be better to just get a really good side mount one and make some good pipes to go with it.

DO NOT EVER DEAL WITH CVT NZ. They are nothing but useless. I called them Monday as i was wanting to go up to Rockhampton for the weekend. Told them i need new CVT fluid for the cedric but they must send it to me asap so i can receive it well before the weekend. Gave over my credit card details and they charged $1390. Little did i know that they are only sending 8 litres of the 11litres i need to flush the transmission.

Called on Wednesday and it hadn't even left yet. They gave bullshit excuses then promised i will recieve it before the weekend. Tracked the parcel and it has just arrived in Sydney, which is always helpful!

Now i have to pay $316 worth of duty and taxes. So that makes it $1690 for 8 litres of CVT fluid.

Nissan quoted $450 per 4 litres with ETA of 2-3 weeks. Thats $1485 INCLUDING GST delivered for 12litres.

Again, DO NOT EVER EVER EVER deal with those lazy NZ (unts.

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
