I've been hunting around on these forums for a couple of weeks now while doing our build. Thank you for posting questions and answers for the rest of the world to read!!

My friend has a 95 Nissan pickup with the ka24 motor, and he blew the head gasket after 460,000 km of abuse and missed oil changes. we both work as mechanics apprentices at a busy shop. We decided to go with the rb swap because we could get the motor, trans, harness and ecu for 1,100 bucks with 60-80k realy easy as they are imported from japan by the truck load. As many of you are aware, we in north america never received any car with an rb20det from the factory.

My friend(bosses kid) is still in high school, but I am no stranger this kind of project.

My Cars:

-05 Subaru Legacy(Liberty) GT, my new toy.... should be stage 2 by the end of the week

-95 Dodge Ram Cummins 12valve.... lets just say I can pull out and pass a car going up hill pulling 10,000 lbs like I was driving the old maxima...... I go though a lot of tires

-1978 Honda Civic 1200. 2.0l EFI swap, full custom everything. My friends call it the pocket car or pocket rocket. Fits in the back of my truck.....

Here is some pick of how we do it in Canadian redneck country...

      My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.

      Automatic Power Button Light Flashing

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
