I started puting the seat mounts in on Saterday. I've cut the standard mounts out, and so far put the front drivers side mount in. used some 3mm plate as a base, and 25x25mm rhs to go between the sill and transmission tunnel. i forgot to take the cam on sat, so i'll try and get some pics today, and put them up.

some pics of new toys

Haltech Platinum Sport 2000, and Racepak IQ3 logger dash. Better value money than a heap of gauges, also neater and easier to mount. Also can kill the engine if oil/pressures drop (right foot dosn't always obay red lights)

Cheap carbon boot, slight damage in the top right made it much cheaper

I got my Navigators seat mount in today. Got it to sit really far back, pitty the exhaust was in the way, so i couldn't get it any lower

Also got a ABS unit out of a VY Commodore.

Very cool Ben, gee wiz your passenger seat is going to be a long way back. I mounted mine on the hump so the passenger sits a little higher than me but i will not have one very often.

What's the idea behind the VY ABS unit?

ABS is very handy for tarmac rallies. especially when your tyres have to last for 5 days. And the standard Nissan unit isn't very good (late 80's tech vs 00's tech). And ABS from a local car is easy/cheap to find from a wrecker, I only paid $110 for the unit.

How do you go wiring it up?

fair enough.. with a cage like that, i hardly think the extra few grams of steel would matter :D

i will be doing the same no doubt... as like you... i have a large sheet of alloy, sikaflex, and no a/c.

    • Did you pay with a credit card? I'd be putting a charge back through then finding a new sparky to sort it out. 
    • 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?
