Hoping for some quick responses as I'm about to pull the pin on a 2004 Dec build series 2 GT350 sedan this week and have some final questions I have not been able to resolve by reading everything on this site (or maybe I missed it !)

1. Immobiliser
This car has no additional immobilser that I can see other than the factory standard. Others cars I have looked at have aftermarket immobilisers.
So does this mean this car has been properly complied ? Will this be an issue with comprehensive insurance ? I'm 43yo with life rating one so any recommendations in Vic I've called around the majors and looking at around $1100-1200

2. Tyres
Its still fitted with the Japanes tyres it came in with still (215/55r17). I'm looking at putting 225/50r17 on it (will keep the series 2 rims quiet happy with the look of them) but are there any reasons I should stick with the factory spec size ?

3. Cameras
This car has both rear and front side cameras fitted to the nav system. I have no idea what use the front side cameras are but my concern is they will be taking up an input/av slot in the nav/tv system so will this mean there are no further input slots for an aux input for an ipod or hard drive mp3 player ?

4. Pedals
Series 1 had the slotted sports accelerator/brake pedals which I liked - is it possible to fit these to the series 2 ?

1. Crap compliance. Some people tend to get around it with a clause tying the vehicles system to a murano which its not.

It should have been done.

2. That's not legal. They NEED to be done.

3. No. That has a dedicated input.

4. Unsure.

The front cameras are called T-junction camera. Factory option. Its when you pull upto a T-intersection but your view of oncoming traffic is obstructed by cars/buildings, you just poke your nose out and it will come up as a split view on the nav screen.

Thats what they do. BMW made i big thing out of it on their current shape 7 series having this feature. Pretty clever.

Tks Howaitonaito I can sort of see the logic but I think I'd be more likely to edge out eyes up and then gun it when I see a break than try and look at the screen....will try it and let you know....

1. RACV website gives an online quote with check boxes to indicate the alarm/immob options and there is a setting for nothing other than factory standard so this is what I will be using. With $1k excess it comes down to around $990 for me which is less than what I thought I'd pay

2. Have sourced some top end 225/50R17s shouldn't throw the speedo/odom out too much

3. Good to hear, do those FM exapanders on ebay from NZ work ? Easy to install ?

4. Pedals, its cosmetic only of course, some on ebay for about $120 from the US will order some and hope they fit ok

I ran 235/45/17 once. when i do 100kph its actually 105-107 on my speedo. now on my 19's 245/35 I do that on 110kph lol. the benefit is that when i hit a speed camera if i sit around or just over the speed limit i still know im under.

well with the 235/45/17 already its already out by a few lol.

Comparing 215/55R17 to 225/50R17 the difference is sfa - rolling circumference is 2038mm to 2003mm so less than 2kmh indicated difference.

245/35R19 is 1995mm would throw it out by a fair margin ;)

Well after driving around in the Skyline for two days I'm pretty happy - it drives n i c e

I'm certain the 76k kms are genuine as the filter sticker in the glovebox in indicates it was 46k at changeover and there are some japanese stickers in the doorwell that to me appear to be some kind of export confirmation stickers and they indicate 63k kms. I know the people I bought it off had it just over a year and used it as the wife's get-the-kids-to-school car (really) so all those things lead me to believe the odometer.

Stereo works but the cd skips on some cds and doesnt read some burnt cds so I'm looking at running a cable from the tuner in the boot to the centre console and have an old samsung galaxy tab which fits perfectly in the center storage box so I'm thinking I'll dump all my cds into that as a music player and can still use the sat nav it has which uses the gps....

Will this give me the pin code in case I ever need new keys ?

    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
