Plug away but they couldnt help me with a price for a turbo halfcut only the DD, didnt seem interested.

There not the best with prices becuase they dont seem to know what things are worth. I went there and named a price, got my parts.

Well whatever you do DONT stuff up your headlights like I did. Called everywhere for a spare and Just Jap want $700 for a single light with a large scratch on the lens. A new one from Nissan is $2583.00 for ONE light....

I will hold out and see if I can find anything cheaper. The light still works and looks OK, I am just fussy.

Here are some iPhone shots.

I blacked out the top of the rear lights too.

I will post up a step by step tutorial when I get a spare light.

Its not that simple, and I managed to ruin my passenger light.

Bro, Call GMS spares in Revesby.. Mavis st..

they bought the banana wreck from brisbane..

I called them about the engine, they want $4500, a grand more than they paid for the whole car... I could import a complete straight car from japan for around that.

Not much else usable left on that thing but the engine lol

... while on the topic of engines. does anyone know out of interest, how much modding would be required to a nissan maxima vq25de to go into the stagea with the added turbo?

just wondering if that is a cheaper option, obviously providing you don't have to replace or upgrade half the motors internals.

to hit 1bar of boost i guarantee the pistons are different at the very least, valves would be too i imagine. externally there are plenty also!

the block itself might be the same, but i dont think anyones opened them up yet! no one in australia anyway

VQ35DE would be a cheaper and better option wouldn't it?

I have heard the stock 3.5 has issues at the power level i'm at now. You would have to do the bearings, rods, pistons and rings at a minimum, with either bottom end, if you were to keep the turbo.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
