So took a punt i'd be able to sort out a better solution on the very visible oil catch can filter.... defect central. Result: Filter sits nicely down inside the front bumper, where t

So a couple of guys in the Stagea subsection have asked me to post a build thread on my S15, being a non R31/2/3/4/5 and non RB i wasn't sure how it would go down but i have been assured it will be of

Great build mate, well done - really impressed how everything just fits so well.

Who did the wiring? Looks like it would have been a tough job.

Cheers mate

I separated and labelled the VQ30 engine loom from the Y33 Cima front cut and took it to a local bloke up here to have it merged into the S15 body/engine loom.

If it wasn't for the ABS component I probably would have sorted it out myself, but old bud did a great job - direct plug in job straight to the S15 'F4' Body loom plug.

Thought i'd get on the VQ bandwagon before bandwagon rolled out :D

So Simpletool and I got this out onto the street this afternoon, ended up doing about 200km's of road tuning (in 30deg heat so about as hot as it'll ever see :D)

No leaks, no bangs, no rattles & still handles well (feels like no weight has been added at all) - everything worked as it should.

Tune wise most cruise is now sorted - idle will need a fair bit of work but we seem to be making positive progress (so many idle parameters in Nistune, once its sorted it will be perfect).

Initially we weren't going to tune for boost but ended up seeing 14psi - think its going to go OK ;)

I was going to ask how it handled with some additional weight up front. you didn't happen to weigh the car before and after the engine swap? also, great writeup! thoroughly jealous, love the S15 shape but I loved my VQ also. together............. well, looks like only you know lol

Cheers guys!

Not sure if i'll get a strut brace on it, its all pretty tight up high in the engine bay.

So after a couple of hundered KM's this is the finished engine bay with all systems now hooked up.

And this is how i sorted out the boost controller.

Hopefully tune/skids from here on.

nice build, i've got a soft spot for the vq30's

the vq30 weighs 200kgs so its the same as the sr20

I want the keys next time ;) Need to compare it to my lowly RB.

An amazing build, it's only now I'm looking at some of the details in the build thread/s that I can see how amazing it was for it to start and run first time with no issues.

I'm keen to sort out the "funny" logic tables in VQ nistune world.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
