Not for ages i don't think. Hopefully end of the year. It's an on going project thats been 2yrs so far. Slowly buying engine parts and suspension goodies atm. Nissan Japan just finished remaking my door seals which took 3 months to get

Nice colour Corey!

Pulled the turbo off the wagon yesterday arvo.. looks like a pretty big highflow (it's unknown and came with the car), there's only a couple of mm of snout left.. keen to see how it goes on the 3L :D

the only thing i dont like about the 4 doors (this goes for 32/3/4) is the tail lights. If it was easy to put the coupe ones in i would go for it. I understand that Nissan wanted them to be different but they just look like @ss to me.

Got my clutch yesterday :thumbsup:

Sent turbo off for inspection and possible rebuild (leaking a bit of oil), on the plus side I may have found who built this unknown highflow!

Handbrake shoes being collected today and hopefully injectors.

Went to wire in my resistor box and new injector +ve's and was left scratching my head over WHY the standard loom is laid out the way it is.. (injs 1,2,3 on main part of loom, injs 4,5,6 on sub loom that bends back on itself) seems rather pointless so I've traced back the injector earths and the common feed all the way back to near where the igniter plugs are. Not running the IACV so can actually piss off the whole front sub-harness.

Going to Jaycar today to grab some more wire and will run all the injectors earths through the new loom I've made and my mate is bringing round a nice sealed plug so that the whole injector loom will be removable.

I think it's purely for spatial reasons, it's pretty cluttered under the standard plenum what with TPS plugs and IACV plugs in the same area. The only thing that is subject to noise is the CAS but that runs in its' own heavily shielded cable.

My way will be a lot neater with the loom hidden under the plenum.

I'm already excited for it :)

Imports and bbq.

2 great things.

Going to ditch the cable ties this weekend hopefully and secure the front lip properly.

On another note. Welding internal gates (I think that's what it's called) is it a bad thing?

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
