Pulled the old injectors out, found one seal twisted and another split to bits.

Must have been leaking there, a manifold leak next to the injectors, great.

So whoever put those in used a hammer.

Sometimes i see the sht thats been done to my car and i wonder how its still going. I guess Nissan is tougher than i thought.

So i guess when im finished there should be a good power gain.

^she will run so much smoother. Surprised you couldn't feel or hear the leaks around the injectors and mani.

Injector seals make a nice hiss/whistle.

-------------------

Today I washed, clay bar and then waxed x 2 my Tokyo Taxi.

Got a vac, an internal rub down with Meguiars, and tires wiped over. :wub:

Need to replace the O2 sensor and put new cam cover gasket/s on. Found an oily plug :(

To do list for next weekend :yes:

Been wondering if anyone has experience with creating a MAP sensor on the inlet manifold. Im thinking about installing a LINK plug in ECU then take it for a tune instead of having to pay $2500 for supply and install when i can get this done for probably $1500 less.

New injectors done the other night.

Installed new fuel pump today.

Deatchwerks, fits like oem (apart from making a slight bend in fuel pipe) and the wiring is awesome cos it solders then plugs straight in.

Also done plug for Z32afm.

So just have to put some bits back together now.

I think im ready to book some time at Autotech. :banana: AT LAST! :banana:

They should be able to fix/tune all the tech stuff, and make sure my work is ok, thus making it run good.

Best DIY car ever. Fish tank hoses and all. Most fantastic home car i have ever seen. SO much personality into it.

Also ordered my cams+gears/z32's/BOV's and more stuff depending on what i feel like getting lol....

A shame you already ordered your cams and gears Anthony.

I am about to organise a GB for JUN Stage 1 cam kit (cams and gears) and they will be just over 1k delivered to your door. Looking to get prices too on the Stage 2 and 3 kits to offer them in the GB as well.

Some threads fixed this morning.

Called Autotech.

Its on the home stretch now, just putting radiator and stuff back on.

The only conundrum i have is intercooler pipe vs intake pipe. So i just need to get the right size/bend bit of pipe and im done.

Then tow to Hume in a couple of weeks.

Might use that time to do some ducts or something.

Rik, you shoulda seen my clutch, surgical gloves used so no contamination, everything perfect and soooo clean it would have even been good enough for yours.

Making a cold air box moulded from a piece of perspex.

Im sure it will go in if i just push a bit harder......

>_<

Is this what they mean by "Aww snap!" ?

Oh well, take 2 tomorrow, now with nice templates for the shape.

Dropped my baby in at ESP. Confirmed Clutch is lunched so need a newie put in.

what are you getting this time. Im about to get a NISMO twin coppermix just need to either raise cash for the install or find a hoist where i can do it myself.

Do you have the Nismo clutch? Because if you do - I hate you !!

Nah not really. I had difficulty getting one in a hurry so I have gone for something else.

I needed one this week not in 2-3 weeks time.

They're going for a great price $1700 from OS delivered to Aus :woot::woot: , but those shops who have them in Aus are still asking $2400 to $2700 :rant: Damn rip off merchants !!

The twin coppermix was my first choice :(. After reading I would now go the Competition one :thumbsup:

Install is half to full day depending on shop. DIY :yes::yes: .

I haven't done one so I'd be in the same boat as you (need someone who has and the equipment. Definitely need it lined up too).

Should be ready to pick up tomorrow afternoon.

For everyone else - keep an eye out. Because if you need one I may be organising a GB...soon

DIY?

You need:

To take the flywheel to get machined, so if they cant do it straight away it holds up the job.(machining takes about 1/2 hour)

Compressor and rattle gun to get it off.

and the usual jack, stands, tools, etc.

I have an alignment tool if you need it, standard nissan 24 tooth, works for gtst.

Mine was an utter utter bastard, as theres not much room and you need to sort of twist and push and lift to get it in.

GTR may be better with clearance but will for sure be heavier.

Recommend getting a mate to help with the wrestling.

The benefits of DIY are you can take the time to do a perfect job, double check it and sleep well.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
