Thinking about spray painting some parts in the interior of the skyline. Colour suggestions? The car is white, but I was thinking of a matt silver or something, don't want it to stand out too much.

one of my mates in england is currently working on converting his Motec ECU to fibreoptic, so all it has is one cable coming out of it carrying up to 256 different signals.

realistically he says he'll have 3 cables, one to the dash, one to the engine bay and another to boot/fuel delivery system. still... 3 optical cables < 11ty billion wire cables that can short out, get interference, start fires etc.

Once he's finished prototyping it, I'm so gonna get on that.

I sell fibre optic cables for a living. Good shit :)

got paid yest + christmas bonus.

just bought this:

EPA compliant 240z + 8.1L V8 FTMFW. Should make about 350rwkw on a streetable tune. Once the kit gets here I might look at a vortech supercharger kit and custom inlet for it. Suspension (IRS, arms etc) is coming out of the S14 I have sitting in the garage, so should make it handle like a muddabitch on rails.

bending the rules is so much fun.

RA to the muddaf*kkin D

how the f**k is it legal tho?

i'm guessing EPA compliant "stock" engine still won't = engineerable in a 240z chassis

Suspected vacuum leak, after boot, it won't idle under 4300 rpm, kinda scary...

On break now, just started her up, 2300 rpm idle and acc pedal isn't loose can't see anything obvious, will need someone to hear it to diagnose properly.

Man, r32 engine bay is smaller and crowder than r33!

yup. so cramped that i still cant work out how to get my o2 sensor out without taking the heat shields off. ah well. gives me something to do this saturday

on another note, im chatting to a girl that tried her hardest and got a 28% enter.....

would a vacuum leak cause the car to idle so high up? Most times a vacuum leak causes a hunting idle (around 800 - 1000rpm)

Dont know much about GTR engines so cant help :(

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
