I have a stock cooler and an r34 cooler if you want to buy one.

What other mods do u have?? You may only need the r34 smic

Thanks for the offer mate. Luckily the seller included the factory side mount so worst comes to worst i'll chuck it in.

Well i'll see what the engineer says. If it's bad news. I'm going to spend tonight taking out the FMIC and putting the SMIC in.

The car is bog stock other wise. I took the liberty of having everything illegal removed (boost controller, pod).

Pettet didn't say anything about the exhaust, however i'm 100% i'll get the EPA in the mail :-(

lol thanks dude.

im there pretty much like everyday. next time you hear me up the court just come out :P

and ye let us how you go and the cost. IF an engineer is blind and passes it. i might go and get one too ahahaha

but ye im looking into getting rid of my FMIC and plugging up the hole. or maybe hide it with a oil filter relocation kit lol and get the return flow IC

Cool, will do mate :-)

I strongly recommend on fixing that hole and getting a return flow. If Pettet got you (And he probably will) he would see straight through any attempts on hiding it, the guy is thorough.

I got done on lakeside blvd right past the biggest rowville lake, just becareful mate.

Cool, i couldn't believe it the first time i saw it. I thought someone had moved my car into the court!

Sounds like a nice machine, wouldn't mind a closer look at it if you're in the area one of these days :-)

i dont take my car to pettit territory.... sad that 1 mean ass copper can be so effective isn't it

lol i cant avoid his territory even if i tried. his slowley moving towards rowville side now :P

shiiit, im moving to rowville, wantirna south or vermont south next month, i bought a cooler that goes through the tray but didnt put it in and got the return flow from just jap, fitted to my 32 without f**k all hassels not cutting at all, cept for my front bar and i tiny bit of reo but you cant see it, :P best $550 ive spent, stock piping in the tray worked out allright with one of them, but had to goto paul in oakleigh to get a offcut, and got a 90 degree silicon hose bend, im so glad i didbt do the cut. sorry to hear mate, im sure if u weld a plate over the hole an engineer would sign off on it.

anyone want to buy a bar and plate cooler that is not return flow ? 400 for the whole kit + extra bits of piping

Well guys a quick update.

My brother (superspit) just took the car to an engineering place.

I'll have a VASS certificate and road worthy tomorrow morning. Gonna cost ~$400 but at least i won't have any other problems...for now

Thanks for all your help/support guys.

I'll let you know how the defect clearing process goes.

Hey Ashneel, do you know who drives the purple GTR that parks in my court? He lives close by. The guy works where i work, i park next to him all the time.

Got a great pic of my mates R32, his R33 GTR and my R34 all inline down the court. Looked ace!

Good advice JJboo...!

I guess he's just doing his job... and we're all so emotionally attached to our rides! (makes things so much more 'engaging').

I gave my brother some advice a couple of nights back, to do with comm skills in this very situation, appears to have worked.

Cheers.

Yer at the end of the day, Pettet is doing his job. Yes it sucks i have to go through the whole process, but i have learnt that you can't get away with anything.

I'm sure i'll be pulled over many more times, at least i'll have less to worry about when this happens.

Honestly great to hear mate!

Is there any re-enforcement required around the hole, to get the cert?

Thanks mate. My brother would probably have more info as i'm not terribly sure.

Hi Al.....at this stage, no....but we'll have a greater insight after tmrw. (it's not structural, from the little bit of investigation work I saw, engineer will check it though, thoroughly)

Luke, I have your car back at my place...(that thing is the shit, though my back is farking killing me now)...just drive the Festiva to moms house, put the wheels back on the 34, then I'll take the 34 back for tmrw morning. (give me all your paperwork too).

Hopefully we'll sort out the travel to and from engineers. (for me!)

Thanks bro. I can arrange to come to work a few hours later tomorrow morning if you want to do that. As long as i'm back before 12, should be fine with the boss.

EDIT: Boss said it's fine, we'll go tomorrow morning, fairly early :-)

    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
    • That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.
