My M35 on the hoist....

Slowly working through the problems of adding 6sp RWD box from a 350z :P

(which means i'll have a transgo fitted auto box for sale shortly)

I wired up my aircon fan so that it blows instead of sucks. Amazing what correct airflow does on a warm day...

Also sorted my AWD issue; many thanks to Scotty for his help in sending me bits I thought I needed, but didn't.

Not my best week with electrical work this week...

Love me some hoverstag action. :wub:

Dale what was the issue with the AWD in the end ?

aircon fan was originally behind condenser?

It's great seeing progress.

Still issues to overcome and i'm hoping as everything comes together others might have some progress on their tuning endeavours

My stupidity apparently. :spank:

I had Scotty send me an Attessa main relay, as I believed everything else was ok.

After fitting it with no change; I then moved down the line to check for continuity at the fusible link, and discovered this;

12064414_10153697918882392_1014231804_n.

FYI; the centre pins are the 30A fusible link for the Attessa ETS. The 50A is the BCM fusible link.

I'd checked this link before visually and was sure that it was ok; but I think the burned piece of the link must've just been sitting inside the connector; looking sneaky.

When I popped the lid off to poke the multimeter probes in; my stupidity was revealed...

​Found the part on EPCdata, was quoted $35 each from Nissan Aust, so I'm going to grab a few online for $11ish (free delivery).

Poked in new fusible link; no AWD light and pumpy noises. Happy days.

Damn; I should've been a hand model...

Nah, I fitted an HDi intercooler kit for my tune a month or so ago, and fitted a thinner fan to suit; was SURE I had it going the right way.

In traffic once the weather warmed up; the car seemed to be running hotter than I remember. Once moving; the temp would drop into the low 80's, high 70's; like normal.

Sure enough; it was throwing hot air out through the grille; so I just had to pop the pins out of my connector, and switched them around; back to normal.

Like I said; not a good week for me with electrical stuffz...

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • 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.
