Also looking into options for the battery. Possibly a stand+enclosure welded up.... at the moment it's literally propped up with wood hahaha

Standard size should fit ok? Mine does

Few questions...

The black fuel line that runs over the plenum.. Should i braid that for the lulz?

I cant see a fuel line over the plenum? Theres a black vac line that you should make longer and run under the plenum

Also considering either braiding or getting one of the old school greddy hard pipes for the top Rad hose...???

Nah?

Next on the list is a toss up and i can't decide.

Gearbox rebuild- Typical synco issue coming down from 5th to 4th, loves a good teeth clean.

Buy another box and when it breaks use the two to make 1 hahaha

Diffs - Replace both front and rear with a quiafe front and nismo pro rear.

Whats wrong with the standard rear diff? Just rebuild it. And front diff is motor out so might as well do extended sump instead of quaife rear diff

Suspension - Sway bars (probs whiteline, nismo is more than twice the price now) and replace my Teins with MCA blues orrr Nismo suspension. 

MCA

But hey, dont let me stop you haha.

Standard battery does fit. I'm just not using one.

Sorry I meant the vac line for the fpr. Yeah might get a longer one and just tuck it.

As for the gearbox if I have to drop it, for $900 I'll just rebuild it. 

And as for rear diff again nothing wrong with a rebuild just thinking  if I'm doing it I may as well do it properly. 

If i'm getting the rear diff rebuilt award will do it. thoughhhhh if i do that 

Ill get Ultimate to pull the rear diff and gearbox out and ill take them down in the cube. 

 

$$ ads up quickly.

Started polishing the footrest but its too bloody hot. Will also get some rust converter for the bracket and have a crack at that on the weekend. 

It seems like it should come up OK, that rust section on the face that is on the left will probs require sanding but the rest has come up pretty good for 20 minutes worth of work. I might even leave the bit on the left for the time be and polish the rest up and fix it later. 

  • 3 months later...

So it had a good check over, a couple of little long term things that need addressing but nothing major. Overall pretty happy. Fixed a few things and the car is driving beautifully, it's amazing when little things can make the world of difference. 

Next will be sway bars i suspect. 

 

 

Oh also...

I am the 1st person in history that after not having HICAS for years, loves the feel of it now that i have it. Legit cannot understand why people lock it out, i can understand removing it for the weight, but the car has so much more direction above 80km/h.

    • For fuelling the Haltechs have O2WB fuel controllers. Very useful for helping tuning VE and correcting for *small* mistakes. Of course if your injector/cam/trigger/sensor data is just wrong (or for a GTT which is not a GT) then you will get impossible reactions to things. I am sure you know this already but the reason people don't typically put haltechs (or any Aftermarket ECU) on GT's is because there's practically no real gains to be had - So this knowledge won't be commonplace.
    • Can someone tell me if the cracks seen in the rear sway bar bushings in these photo's is unacceptable from a roadworthy point of view?  
    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
