Thought I would post progress to date on my coupe. Since the last update I've acquired a few parts and soon the show will be on the road.

First was a set of SSR center caps.

Then sourced a RS emblem towel to cover my shredded rear headrests.

Finally it was time to start gathering suspension components. Jenesis A8 coilovers where fabricated in custom colours with 8kg springs. Rears soon to be added with whiteline sway bars wich are sitting next to me. Custom 30mm roll center adjusters are en route from the USA.

Tyres are next on the agenda. Looking at Toyo T1-R's in 205/55 & 195/55 :)

J! Can you toss me a pic of both front & rear under guards please? Like to see how the guards & quarters have been cut away. Cheers, D

Their still standard underneath.

I believe the correct method goes a little something like this-

First cut off lip then cut outer about 15mm higher and used wire brush attachment on drill to take back to bare metal. This is so the epoxy used later on will bond properly.

Then used vise grips, hammer and dolly to pull inner lip over outer. Hammered flat.

Used wire brush again to take down to bare metal then applied 2 part epoxy to seam.

Lastly riveted for good measure. Now all need to do is throw a bit of silicone over rivets ends in wheelwell and paint etc.

Small update.

Switching front springs out for 10kg's. Unused Jenesis 8kg 63mm internal diameter 208mm length springs up for grabs as soon as I find suitable replacements. PM me if keen.

Also, managed to get my mitts on a pair of genuine NOS C130 Laurel indicators. Test fitted in this pic. Will eventually sit a bit further forward.

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
