certainly did - NEW ones. 4 figure sum for both but yes I can certainly buy them.

need to pin you down at some point to discuss this car of yours and the parts needed for it.

chris, i love you and this thread <3

plenty of stuff available for the car. it just takes time (and lately a lot of money :( ) keep watching. once I get a bit of money ahead I am going to do the interior.

had a bit of spare time today so I started on the Nismo 32 dash (v2)

V1 that I paid money for

the start of V2.

that is a 3mm piece of acrylic cut into the stock hole. keep watching.

quick hit with a dremel to get the basic shape. the hole was marked with the steel overlay that was on the LCD panel I am using. there is a small amount of error there so its not visible in the final version.

now with qbond holding it in place. it doesn't move. I actually broke it in the top corner (speedo side) so there is qbond on that at well.

just add bog. this is actually a finishing bog so its fine and quite easy to sand off.

first sand - this is hit with 400 wet/dry. light is horrible but it doesnt look that bad.

Once this is highfilled , 45 deg chamfer on the gauge holes ( they are stepped at the moment.)and painted black it will look like it belongs there. I called it a day at that point. will do some more on it when I get more time.

nah. all of it is external to the cluster. I am considering mimicing the odo reset button as a mode switch for the navi input. currently its on one of the radio buttons on top of the dash. there is a custom module for that.

hope to have this on a skewer in a few weeks so I can do a few more things to it and get it ready for panel work. lack of a proper shed for the last few months has hindered progress.

still working on it though. nismo 32 cluster is done.

yep it should. will be spending a bit more time in gympie now working on it. july should see more images of it being torn down and packed into boxes again.

harnesses - one sorted. still need to do the engine harness and put it back it std spec.

car is also fully stripped and on skewers - I am giving it a VERY good thinners bath.

ordered a few small parts for it yesterday. mainly inside trim stuff.

door panels (GTR) are approx $450 each. once the small trim stuff arrived I am going to order one panel.

I dunno if you get good prices at your local Nissan but have you tried getting parts from Nissan Japan?

With all the parts your buying you might be able to save a heap over time.

Well done tho.

only things I buy local are glass and BIG panels. the rest is done out of japan. (okinawa actually) . I buy a fair bit off them and get decent prices because of it.

    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
