Just gave mine a bit of love ( oil and filter ) the good news - found split fire coilpacks and good plugs in there :P , bad news found timing belt looked like it belonged to Noah :) so had to change that aswell.

The Apexi ECU Harness arrived today, so I will have to get onto the install Sunday, I'm back at work so cbf after work.

Pics of my FMIC install as promised, did it Sat nite/Sun morning.

That FMIC looks perfect,did you have to cut the reo?or do any other "adjustment"?

Removed old coil pack wiring harness to install new one which had just arrived from JustJap... only to find the clips don't match... GREAT!

Next is to replace the xanavi and rear shocks... hopefully these go a bit smoother!

Impul ECU got installed. Im now driving a different car. This thing puts me on my arse real quick :(

wait till it finish's tuning it's self.... :)

BTW.....here's my new Nismo/greddy Combo!

Yeaah I had to cut a bit out of the reo bar. I do need to make up some custom brackets to bolt it in properly.

heatwrapped some Intercooler piping, dropped in some bcp6res11 plugs.

didnt gap them down to .8 left them at 1.1mm.

drives very well indeed. maybe even slightly better fuel economy.

also reflashed my aem fic/8 piggyback to a new updated firmware. reset the tune, altered afm voltage settings, seems to have more poke up around 6000rpm.

need to get back on a dyno to check out the tune

edit: also bought mike's momo steering wheel :thumbsup:

ordered front and rear camber arms

got a new boost gauge hooked up (apexi copy i got off my mate for free)

much easier to read without the smoked lens and its a mechanical one, not stepper motor

also took out the turbo timer cos i don't use it anymore, does weird things with the alarm - if anyone wants it send me a pm (greddy full auto turbo timer with plug and play loom)

Roof rail replacement kit finally arrived today: WUHOO!!! It's only taken 2 years to get this sorted! Also, Bilstein re-valve kit arrived a couple of days ago: Just need to collect my new daily driver (Hopefully next week), so I can get the Stag sorted...

momo wheel is on

woot

You should have opted for a R34 GTR/ GTT manual wheel though, comfy feel and also a tad smaller. No disrepsect Mike.

I know of a nice n/a grille that would look good on yer car, pm me bro.

5k service + fuel filter (which I i'm pretty sure has been there since factory :cool: )

Filter was a bitch!

CHanged oil to Nulon 10-40 fully synthetic, seems to be revving much more freely. IT's having a lot of trouble holding traction, mind you it is damp. I'll have to wait until it's dry for a proper test.

Rear upper camber arms have arrived also, will put them in soon.

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
