my cover is off as it does not fit with the plenum spacer fitted.

I think it is better with the cover off as that plenum gets sooo hot that I figure any extra air you can get to it to keep it cool is good.

Looks nice...

Cheers

Oh sweet thanks for the info on the optioned parts.

dimi, the wheels are of a v35. i didnt like them at first but they do suit it sooo well for stock looking rims!... i reckon they need to come out about 10-15mm more! and it should sit awesome...

atm the coilovers are set all the way to raised! so ive got about 20mm to drop them. it should sit reallllly good when i drop it, but ill drop it after compliance!

the car sits stupidly low, in terms of everything underneath isnt far from the ground! so i was originally planning on putting 19's on the car but looks like il have to go bigger just to keep the car sitting higher! maybe even 21inch! ( lol id never thought id say i want 21's on my car ever!)

Jetwreck- No i havent, where would the ecu be? im full noob with stageas.

The ECU is located under the dash on the passengers side of the car....just pull the black under-tray off and stick you header under there if you see something that looks like the picture below with the Nismo sticker on it....let me know so I can come and replace it with a standard one for you! :down:

there ya go dimi :down:

i spent all morning cleaning underneath the car... it almost looks brand new lol. i wish i took photos. maybe when were at compliance if they put it on the hoist. cbfed jacking it up!

cant wait to get it back from compliance and actually drive it! oh and adjust the coilovers to all the way low lol!!!

Jet im going to run outside now and have a look at the computer

OMG OMG OMG OMG

..................

DONT have a nismo ecu :down: hahahah

probably did have one....the owner in Japan more than likely put the standard ECU and sold yours....probably the one I bought of IM recently!

lol......only kidding!

Nice car btw!

Wait till you drive it! It's quicker than a cruiser and quite surprising so the bug will bite. Let me know when you're manufacturing a dump pipe as I would like to buy one.

My cover is off as well... except mine is off by choice (or lazyness) as the PM35 bonnet is quite a bit higher in the middle than the normal early model bonnet (should've gone with a 35mm runner spacer perhaps? :D).

+1 to the rest (see, I told you - lazy)

Love the remote start/stop btw :D

rich, i have a bug, but its a v.i.p bug. im going to be turning the car in to as best i can, a very good example of a v.i.p car. i will keep you in the loop about the dump pipes. what size? 2.5? 3?

ill be going a bit of a different way around it than usual. the only bolts that will be on the exhaust will be where it bolts to the turbo...

ill pm you :D

Let me know if you can make me a dump pimp also. I am looking to get my exhaust done. :D

I recon you might change your mind about the bolts once you try to remove the Dump pipe...... LOL

Possibly referring to a V-band clamp arrangement for flange jointing; quick, neat, no leaks, and good for fine tuning fitment of pipework.

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
