what parts do you need?

exhaust Gasket and 2 x AN fittings for the radiator!

Edited by Jetwreck
I got a bit carried away in the grass events at the local car show. I think I dumped the clutch too hard in reverse gear... :)

Gunna get it fixed in the new year. New diff, uni joint for the drive shafts, get the rear diff checked out, brass button clutch is a little noisy so that will get a look too.

I am keen to have an A1 drivetrain. Does anyone know if these cars will handle 8000RPM launches? :D

Do you have a triple plate clutch?
Nah, he fly's back in some time tomorrow apparently.

Yeah he's been on the forum a few times lately. Did he enjoy KL? How many dudes did he shoot, any tournament trophys and shit? Chuckies crackn a sad, bcos he lost his license for three, great radar detector. lawl. so fck knows wen the nxt stag meet is. On the dl, maybe his place. Prolly after xmas now.

I keep forgetn you gots kids. I cant stands kids this time of year. no offense. bless their little cotton sox. lol

well not really. we are going to pull the plate out and machine some grooves into it for sealant (factory sump has this, 3l adaptor plate does not).

also....its just a daily not a race car. it will never spend 15min at 6000rpm like it does on the dyno,

fingers crossed it will be ok....but I will be struggling to have it back on the road by xmas

Checked on my adapter plate. Comes from Hytech engines and is steel. Owner Dick says his one has been in for 2 years with no problems (550kw R32GTR) but he has seen some aluminium or aluminium alloy ones which he said would expand at a different rate.

:/

Sif!!

I am a redneck from Kelsmcott :(

Had to attend a funeral at lunchtime today, and despite starting at 5.45am this morning (trying to put my insomnia to good use) I am still here at work ;) Could today suck any harder? I submit, it could NOT!!

Yes it could. You could have no job to complain about. btw, it sounds like coffee is your problem. lol.

is reknowned as the worlds most expensive gourmet coffee. Saw it at a spice and tea farm in Indo. I was only game to try the gin seng coffee and i was bouncing off temple walls for 5 hours. :/

Funerals are a real life changer. Death really grounds you. Ive been to 3 in the last year. Glad that fckn year is history.

Finished getting the car running :(:/;):(:banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

Drove it home last night at about 12.30AM.....lucky as the Exhaust system still had shit load's of oil in it :blush:

All is good though.....great motor!

thank's Dale....finished it at Midnight!....just had the suction pipe properly done this morning....car feels awesome!

Down for the tune next Tuesday/Wednesday!.....come on Mexico :down:

Awesome work Craig, phenominal turn around time from when you finally got the motor to having the car on the road.

Good to hear it's back on the road Craig :)

Be interesting to see what Cihan can do with the eManage and the Nismo ECU next week

:down: fingers crossed for some good results! We may have some eManage + Impul results in the not too distant future too :D

just go easy on the way back from mexico dude, i dont wanna come down there and collect my boot load of gear :D

:down: It is sitting here waiting for you mate

Edited by iamhe77

its too damn far, and im not enough mods along to need a tune myself just yet lol

that said, i havent done an oil change in a while, with the nismo ecu still learning, i got 540km from the last tank of about 70L. thats with some spirited driving also. im pretty happy with the economy of this ecu even though i have a boat load more power/torque!

ok, fair call on the employment status. I was "unemployed" for most of 2009 but I still managed to work more than 70 hours a week :D At least things arent that bad.

Oh, and about the coffee - YOU TAKE THAT BACK!!!11!!TY

*hugs french press* dont listen to the bad man, he knows not what he says

:down:

I am not clicking that link either, and I refuse to drink coffee made from beans shat by weasels. That whole stupid idea was thought of by the same people that think its OK to rape perfectly good coffee with tinned fkn codensed milk. I enjoy a morning cappacino as much as the next oversized-sunglasses-wearing-hipster, but tinned condensed milk???

I hate you! :down:

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
