good luck with that its a fun job!!! try and get the O2 sensor off so you can get to the bolt behind it otherwise get a special ball joint cuppler for the socket not the yoke type cos it'll just bind up..........

ive got it booked into my mechanic so ill let him have the fun job. Was getting late so thought ...f#ck it. I see what people are saying. Bout not alot of room in there.

I see what people are saying. Bout not alot of room in there.

It's all about undoing the 4 bolts for the g'box crossmember & lowering that down to allow the engine to tilt back on the mounts. This gives enough room to get to the O2 sensor & top bolt/s. You may also want to drop off some of the shrouds further down the exhaust. This is why I raise the back of the car as well, otherwise ramps would be all you need. Your mechanic will have it done in no time on a hoist. But tell him to leave the bonnett up when he puts it on the hoist, just in case the engine hits.

Well, after stripping the bits i needed off an s2 at the local wreckers the car went in to have the manual conversion done.

Cant wait to drive it from the workshop to the exhaust place..... much excite

I vented my bonnet yesterday!

Seems to be doing the job......f#$k it lets(pumps) some heat out! When the thermo's come one I get that weird heat haze concentrated in one area. I'll post a pic of the top once I get the edging on.

Which bonnet is that Craig? Getting copies made?

my mates with evos have the same thing

DO NOT lean on the mesh! or you will end up with char-grilled patterns on your hand, though on evo's the vents are directly above the tubro

^^^ like!

Also like that it means your leg must be at the stage where your confident in driving a manual!

Yeah all progressing nicely, been driving now since July last year. Right knee is holding up, still gots a long ways to go tho. My PT is great as he's had a knee reco himself, so he knows the limitations when training.

Decided now that I got some extra cash and the time to take the car off the road to get some thing happening. Need to get new guages to monitor vitals, also check my ecu as to wether I can send it away for the nistune mod.

Picked up an m35 nm35 pnm35 oil sump pan from Nissan. Sorry just being obvious for the search function.

It's the bottom black thingo, so if you dent it, you can replace with

Part number 11110-AL810

I modified mine for an oil return, so when we took the turbo off, we placed with with a beaten out one until I could get a new one.

List price is $170 plus gst. Maybe a little cheaper.

Apparently lol

E-Troll alert!!!

Dale......yes it pumps the heat out......looks a lot neater with the edging now.

*****Cough*****reminder******cough******front******Reo!

Lol, fab starts tomorrow. ;)

Why did you put the hole there Craig? Is that really the hottest area? Or you just picked somewhere easy?

I was always hoping to get the Masa bonnet eventually...

So I finally moved the stepper motor for the boost controller, cut almost half a metre out of the hose to the actuator, which was good. Others are *slightly* longer, so I'll test it tomorrow.

Because the back of my bonnet is already raised to get the air out. Also that is the area that most of the air get stuck in...I was finding the thermos could cool but because our bonnet is so low the air was still getting stuck in the front area. If a sidewinder is ever shot at my car now I know where it's heading. Those masa bonnets are nice but I cannot justify $1k ATM when I have other needs/wAnts.

I thought you proved that raising the rear of the bonnet did more harm than good, or Scott told me you did..

finished venting bonnet today......Wing and Front bar to go!

Great job but not entirely convinced it's in the correct area of the bonnet. I reckon positioned a bit more on the passenger side and higher would have it quite effective with heat extraction from the turbo area.

    • I was using the wiring diagram I have So 12.74V is coming into the rear Fuel Pump relay as I measured.  When I turn the key to ON im getting 0.6V to the Fuel Pump plug; which i assume is backfeed voltage and doesnt include the 12V from ignition power.  The rear relay is working and being triggered.  From the diagram I clearly see the rear relay 80 = Rear Relay going into the Body/H loom (R-27) 27 = Fuel Pump plug going into the Body/H loom (T-20) 40 = Short Connector (R-27) I'm reading 12.74V on the blue/black wire which is the power for the Fuel Pump   From this diagram I can see the Ignition relay goes into the front and up to the ignition  2 = Fuel Pump Relay <1M> (R-27) 37 = ING Relay <1M> I started from the pump using this reference Which the way I read it (referencing Nissan wiring color codes) is: Pin Wire Color Function 1 B/P (Black/Pink) Ground 2 L/W (Blue/White)        ECU Trigger 3 SB (Sky Blue) Fuel Pump 5 L/B (Blue/Black) 12V Constant Tested SB to SB on Fuel Pump for continuity - confirmed Tested negative on Fuel Pump to 12V battery and L/B - confirmed 12V Pulled the relay putting 12V between Pin 1 & 2 and testing continuity on Pin 3 & 4 - confirmed relay   So that has me looking at this part of the circuit to understand whats happening here...and im still confused. From best I can tell; the disconnect is back to my previous diagram; between Ignition Relay and Fuel Pump Relay...which yet again; afaik is where the immobiliser should.    Thats what I was trying to explain to GTSboy; im not trying to fix it myself; yet I seem to have to get a Masters in Electrical Engineering (while im busy doing my actual job of DevOps & Cloud Engineering) somehow.  I just wanted more expert opinions; or more so that what I tested is correct and proves it to something around that area; to go back to the alarm tech (for a 3rd time) that he needs to fix it. He keeps telling me its not the alarm. He lives on the complete other side of the city so i understand not wanting to make a trip but as I said before if its the alarm it should be up to him to fix it. But he's adament its not; even though I pointed out the FP was immobilised through the original alarm. To my mind; it seems that the ECU is sending the signal; but the ignition is not getting 12V down the line.       
    • Maybe also really stiffly sprung track cars. Get the inside wheel up in a corner and all the fun stops. Also me sometimes (rarely) when I have to stand on the brake to convince the diff to drive the wheel that is still on the ground when I'm trying to diagonally get over severe driveway entrance, etc.
    • I feel like I'm missing something. You had an authorised installer come out and install a new alarm. Post install the car doesn't start, and you aren't getting the installer back to fix what they did wrong?
    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'
