Lots of goodies arrived yesterday. HKS Fcon and harness, bonnet struts (thanks Cam!) and Deatschwerks pump.

I had one issue with the bonnet strut installation - bit hard to install when someone steals your drill! And here I thought everything was included... :nyaanyaa:

One question to people who've installed a fuel pump, Walbro etc: Do you buy a wiring kit or do you just go to Jaycar and buy all the bits outlined in the million and one how to guides?

Still need to order a fuel filter before I install it, and talk to the tuner about injectors. And settle on a tuner, I still have a couple of options.

Trying to run the deatschwerks on the stock wiring will end in tears, they draw way too much current for something so small and will definitely require a 30 amp relay and thick wiring at a minimum. I got mine from Jacar, I think it was a 60 amp relay with thick gauge audio power wire, run along the passenger side and under the back seat. Make sure you fuse it well and preferably run an earth from the battery too.

The old pump positive will need to be run the same way back to the relay in the enginge bay to turn the new pump on/off.

It seems the DW 1000cc injectors dont have the locking clips to hold them on to the rail, not sure I would trust that personally as all the other aftermarket injectors I have seen use them, even though their install docs say otherwise.

Looks sweet.

Can I ask, are your guards rolled, do they scrub at that height?

Looking at (when i sell my Pupra anyway)19x9.5s at around +15-+20 but that offset looks pretty spont on....

I assume you have a manual too.

Also Sika'd my side skirt brackets properly today....

I thought it came with the plug and some wire and you just cut and shunt it

You can, but looking at the flow graphs you get much more flow at the higher voltage. Seems like all aftermarket pumps are recommended to be hard wired.

Bob, there are a few people doing hard wiring kits, including Deatschwerks and Aeromotive.

I did see that. Interesting. My tuner doesn't seem to care, as long as he gets the latency info, which will save a heap of time. Leaning towards the ID1000s, just looking at pricing.

Are the Bosch EV14 1000cc injectors the same as the ID1000s? I've seen a couple of sites referring to them as "Bosch ID1000" or "Bosch EV14 ID1000".

Also are you running the 11mm or 14mm ID1000s? And which length (48mm or 60mm)?

Yeh the ID's are just flow matched Bosch ones with a little machining to the pintle end, nothing special, so are the Xspurts. I think they are the shorter ones at 48mm.

I would rather buy from the Aust distributor, Injectors online just for the warranty. They will also price match to some extent.

So we have had this stagea for about 5 years now and have never posted it here hehe it has been a great car for my wife, it is her daily driver and had minimal dramas. It is a 99 RS rwd auto yer baby :-)

Ok so my wife and I just had our first baby so while she could not drive I decided to give the old girl a birthday.

I fitted some BC V1 coil overs, new tie rod ends, new front pads, a service, replaced the leaking inlet cam lip seal and fitted a Thule luggage box for holidays. I know it's not as racy as some on here but this car serves us well and it is now kited out ready for another holiday.

'Bout bloody time you post in here, Ryan. I've always wanted to know what your car looked like.

I called up my local Nissan dealer today for some pricing.

Fuel filter at trade was $35. I thought that was ok.

Ball joints I wasn't prepared for. Nissan wouldn't sell me the ball joints on their own, I had to buy a spindle. FOR $806 PER SIDE! $1600 FOR BALL JOINTS?!?!

So I'll be ordering them from ebay shortly, where they're around $62 for a pair. Thanks to Dale for his help in confirming the 350Z/V35 ones will fit.

On the plus side, at least Main North Nissan would look up parts for an import. I was all ready to ask for 350Z bits and started with the import bit just in case. Looked it up, easy!

Those guys are legends. The fact that you can walk in say "M35 Stagea" and they know what you're on about is pretty cool. :thumbsup:

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
