Yea thats just part of owning an import. At least you're on the right track of fixing shit up first. But after everything's fixed, all your coin's gonna go into mods.

Not really having the same conversation as us are you? :D

Umm... no it won't. This car isn't a modifier. Apart from cosmetic modification it's not getting squat until I replace it as my daily. Then it can get modded and thrashed on the track.

That's it I don't crack the shits with it (even more so) and sell it.

thanks man, none of it is really anything I feel like attacking myself. I think I just need to save up some coin and get it a top to toe engine/electrical service

Yeah thats prob the best option . . . I tried to do a few things to mine when I first got it, I found myself cutting corners and dodging it up jus to get it back on the road . . . Getting someone else (EFI) to do it meant it was all done properly and professionally and I didnt have to worry about it.

buckshot + bonnet = speed holes FTW! :D

the FPV ones? Yeah, why?

my old rims ( the ninja photo ) i might be able to get them back from a mate. if so you can borrow my FPV ones if you like

Yeah after I get my cooler on in Feb, Im not doing any more mod's till it comes of the road in Sep and I replace it as my daily.

I still don't believe that photo exists :D

But I'd never knock back use of rims/tyres that won't get me killed!

Martin - Is it faily easy to install a switch for my reverse light so I can turn it on and off and not worry about getting booked?

I had to wait 5 mins yesterday for a cop to leave the car park before me... so of course I looked suss as buggery watching him, waiting.

true, at least it gets me from here to there for the moment.

However a $1500 datsun would have too... :D

Don't knock the datsuns!

Like a manual switch? Yeah that would be pretty easy.

    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
