Did you send them off to have them custom made or did you pick them up from Japan?

Picked them up off yahoo auctions, but they were definitely custom made by/for someone originally!

I wired a Z32 ECU with nistune into my S1 RB25DET stagea today. Its running well with the z32 afm in it but will need a tune when i put the Nismo 555's in it

Well done! Did you cut all the wires off the old plug and solder them on to another plug or did you get a loom extension?

I used a Field harness extender to splice the Z32 ecu in as a piggyback. The stock stagea ecu remains to control the auto

Basically I used that loom i got off you as a guide, but tweaked it a little for the z32 ecu

I think that I could get the z32 ecu to control the auto too, but i can't figure out the corresponding wires between the 2 ecus for the auto. From what i can find on google, the Z32TT uses a re4r03a, the Z32 NA and my car (RWD) both use a RE4R01A

I haven't driven it yet or tested whether the auto is happy with the current configuration, but i reckon i've nailed the hard bit

Finally got my new headlights in; when I got them there was an amber LED array that lit up with the driving lights/squid rings; was pretty sure this breached ADRs so Brad lent me a hand rewiring them up to the blinker; had to wire in the old blinker globe to up the resistance on the circuit to slow down the blinks too. A little hodge-podge, but the end result looks good imho. Hopefully the seals hold up :rofl:

The front of your car looks really good. Glad you got the blinker speed sorted. :thumbsup:

Cheers mate. You were spot on about using the old globe being the easiest way. I threw some bullet connectors onto the spare blue wires you put in & snipped the appropriate connector off the old loom - easy as. Really appreciated your help :thumbsup:

Spent an hour this morning fitting a piece of mesh in the front bar.:blush:

Finished fitting the rear after arguing with the corner clips for quite a while...:rant: Didn't want to damage the old bar, because its going to a new home shortly.

Looks great, was so paranoid about marring the new paint, so was taking it very easy. No scratches; so very pleased with the time taken.

Pics once the mastic has set in the mesh on the front bar & it's fitted.:thumbsup:

cannot wait to see it dale.

oh and for the C34 guy's.....some porn for sale......if only I had a 260rs!!! http://www.importmon...%20114%203%2024

offset is a bit low

Didn't have thse foldy things on the inside of the bumper to hold the mesh in place Dale?

All finished now; looks teh sexy; I keep on wandering out to the garage to look...

It has ten flat tabs spaced around the opening, so I just trimmed slots in the mesh ( I'm using the trusty SAAS "Leb mesh") to fit over them, then I bent the edge of the mesh against the structure of the bar.

I didn't end up cutting the centre spar out of the opening; I think it'll end up being too flimsy & cracking the paint.

I don't have the clips that clamp on to the tabs, so I just glued the mesh in a few places around the opening. It was fairly well fixed in position 'cos I cut the slots pretty tight, just wanted to make sure it stays put.

Pics in the morning; once it's had a bath.

Cheers mate, I'm very pleased, been a long time coming.

Those would be pretty tough on an m35 too; 18x9, +24 offset. The rubber is well past it's used by date tho'.

Was thinking they would look quite good on an m35 as well with the right stance.

theyd look good on an ARX with the extra width compensating for the rub guards crrraaaaaiiigthumbsup.gif

    • 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.
