So I fitted this over the last weekend.

I have looked at this brace a few times and wondered how much impact it would make. But I hadn't known anyone to do it to ask.

Have you done the OX rear bar and daleo front bar? If so did it have a similar change as they do?

So I fitted this over the last weekend.

Does it do anything?

It looks like it's supposed to attach to the body somewhere, but with the HICAS rack activated; I don't expect that would be a good idea at all.

So we took the car for a spirited driving on a motorway, long winding roads and back roads. All I can say is the handling is much improved overall, especially less twitching at the rear end. I do have the front underbrace and top strutbrace. I guess every little bit helps.

bought a cheap Greddy intelligent informeter touch, the touch screen is broken. ordered new touch screen from aliexpress.com and all sorted now.

Winning!

How cheap was cheap?

around $160-170. I saw some guys here bought new for $500?

I think mine was around $400 or so when I bought it several years ago (with good US exchange rate), so that's a damn good find.

I'm assuming the touchscreen was pretty cheap too?

Taking a punt and ordering a Starter Motor for a 2003 LHD Infiniti from the US...

It mounts on the drivers side as oppose to the passengers so i am hoping it will work out for the manual conversion. The measurements look ok

Also measurements will be taken to get the tail shaft made up and then hopefully once the starter is on it will be a case of bolting everything back together with the 6sp from the 350z in place.

Clutch pedal still needs to be sorted and i havent even looked at centre console but i am hoping these are fairly straight forward.

Then will start the ECU head aches:p

(it's totally gonna be worth it)

Practical mods are the best kind, right?

Finally got the roof racks fitted to the stag, after the roof rack superstore stuffing me around for 2 weeks.

Both of the sunroof's still open which is nice, except its super noisy thanks to the racks. Might have to invest in one of those wind deflectors...if they actually work.

Will be fitting an awning to it in the coming weeks to, for the weekends away!

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
