did some electrical work on the weekend - always so time consuming because I've learnt the hard way over the years that taking shortcuts and rushing the job will always cause headaches down the track. So i spent two days installing my reverse camera, and installing the amp. See pics below:

1. Alpine PDX-V9 - this is a 5ch amp that will run my entire system. It has 4x100wrms and 1x500wrms but birth sheet shows a fair bit higher numbers. It should pack a punch. But not only that, it's smaller and about half the weight of the mono block it replaces. I love it. I mounted it under the floor for a clean stealthy install. Took the TV tuner and mounted it where the Bose amp used to be, and put the Alpine where the TV Tuner used to be. Used all stock brackets, no cutting or drilling - so 100% reversible (the best kind of mod).

2. Even though it's a digital amp and runs a lot cooler than a traditional A/B amp - it's still a very enclosed location. Decided to install a little 12V computer cooling fan to extract heat from that compartment into the spare wheel cavity. It's hooked up to the remote wire so it comes on whenever the amp is on. Had to cut a hole in the plastic trim - but I reckon it looks pretty sweet and functional.

3. All hidden away from prying eyes and protected from flying boot fodder. . Maximum boot space. That's a win in my books!

(ignore spider grill thing - came with the car, and ironic because i'm hyper arachnophobic - that will be going once i decide on a new sub).

R6n350GT :

When you go for the dyno, do a run with and without the plenum spacer in. I did a test on my car and actually lost 3-5 kw through the mid range with the spacer in at 6psi. Spacers are designed for NA cars, I'm not sure they provide a benefit when turbod. Test it out.

I will do, wonder if i even have the old shorter bolts.. ? can i use longer bolts still ?

I thought g35driver had done dynos showing good for FI?

Cant wait to get it done !!

Turbo be arriving this week so its getting closer :)

Need to find guy that does custom piping in goldcoast

Yeah, I got told it was good for Fi too, bought one, and installed it on the dyno. Didn't gain shit, lost power.

You might be able to use those bolts, but you'll need to find some bolts for the middle 6.

What's the plan? Gt35 or t51?

HKS 3037Kit but modified so FMIC and 3582 CHRA inside the 3037 housing

Fully built engine with S2 BC Cams

Nice.

will be interesting, but surprised you didn't go to a T3 housing. I think the 1.12 housing in the kit is T2 isn't it?

i was talking to scotty about that, seemed there would be alot of fab work changing adapters, making room etc and didnt want to risk it not fitting :/

There would be.

At the end of the day - it has a 60mm gate for excess pressure, and should have enough flow to keep the GT35 spinning at a decent rate.

Dyno graph when done please :)

    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
