with Bens and mine we have an extra gasket due to the adapter plate. we spent heaps of time cleaning all the gasket and carbon ect off the things. they are very time consuming. i have also pulled the complete intake off a GTR in the car chasing a leak. that is not a fun job.

who flocked your dash in the end?

i was reading in HPI that you can buy cheap flocking kits off the net. no one does it in norther tas as some of the rally teams used to send there dashes to the mainland to be done.

just noticed you dont run a hydro. never felt the need?

i had a hydro in the car when i bought the shell... did 1 track day with it before i ripped it out.. im not a fan of the hydro interfering with the footbrake assy. due to the way i drive with lots of braking/handbrake at the same time i just dont like it on the same circuit. In my KE i had twein callipers on the rear with an duel separate circuits.. that works brilliantly. Will be doing the same on the s14 soon. But really the cable handbrake with good pads works faultlessly

as for the flocking kits.. i got a local mate to do it for me.. he used an Ebay kit.

Loving the build, mate.

I have an S14 I'm building up atm as well, and the dash is cracked in a few places. How well does flocking cover tthe cracks? Or is a whole new dash a better option? It will be a street car, so quality and looks are quite high on the agender for me.

my dash was cracked before.. now i cant even notice it... it seems to have covered it pretty well! pretty happy with the outcome but i highly doubt the flock material is going to stand the test of time.

RBish: yeah the haltech has a inbuilt mapsensor, you can run up to 22psi before needing an external map sensor. as for the rewire.. its not for the faint hearted haha, im actually writing an article for drift battle atm on this very topic.

manifold is underway... should be finished very soon. its a work of art and a Garage 7 speciality item. it features a laser cut collector, equal length runners, a flange that bolts to either RB20/25 and Rb26 bolt pattern along with some other tricks..should work well!

well found the cause of death and overheating on the old set up... i went to wire up the fuel pumps in the boot and thought i would prime the surge tank so it was full before i attempt to start it. manually powered up the lift pump in the tank with 12v direct from a battery and nothing happens... turns out its dead as it can be.. so last few events it has been running off the twin 044's alone and the suction from those pumps draws fuel into the surge. crazy, no wonder it melted pistons!

    • 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.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
