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 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.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
