Hey Guys,

This is only a quick update:

I'm elbows deep in wiring, although really enjoying it. Slowly tidying up this loom, I thought I'd share a progress shot:

Also, the fuse/relay box is completely terminated now, here is what it looks like on the inside:

Thanks for reading :)

Another small guys, finally have the oil cooler lines ran, was a fair amount of trial and error to get them to clear everything, however I'm happy with the end result. Just need a small amount of spiral wrap to use where the hoses go past the radiator/support panel.

There is only a handful more jobs to go, then the engine can finally go in ?

As always, thanks for reading :)

The fuse panel, is that an OEM part rewired, or did you buy a bare fuse/relay panel?

The fuse panel is a bare panel which I bought terminals and seals for. 

I looked at a few OEM options, however I couldn't find anything as compact and neat as what this system offered. Plus it's IP67 rated - basically water proof.

Thanks! 

Just had a quick look, will read more later but that stuff is sooo cheap! Definitely of interest for a project of mine :)

Very cheap, although excellent quality too ? They're definitely a good thing. 

 

Glad I could help. Any more questions, feel free to ask.

Hey guys,
 

Been flat-out lately, hence why this hasn't been updated in a while. I have been helping a fellow Pulsar owner out with a few mods on his IPRA VE swapped N15 SSS. Removed his 2.5" exhaust and made a 3" 304 grade stainless steel system along with a SoCal 4-2-1 megaphone header.

A couple of snaps:

I've made a 3" intake and rebushed the entire car for him too, was still fitted with the original Nissan bushes 300k kms old...?

An update on my N14 also:

 

Engine is in!!

Fitted the gearbox up too, just a mock up at this stage, I haven't fitted flywheel and clutch yet:

Gearbox went it pretty well, although the Elec P/S bracket will need a slight trim on the corner. needs approx 5mm off it to ensure I don't have to remove the bracket when fitting/removing the gearbox

Not bad, considering it was a guesstimate!

The clearance to the DBW T/B isn't fantastic, although using solid poly engine mounts all round, the engine shouldn't move around a whole lot. Approx 20 - 25mm clearance. If I have fouling issue's I'll make up an adapter plate to move the TB around at a slight angle.

While you still have it off the road have a good look at the rear mount and see if you can reinforce it. I had the energy suspension poly mounts and custom bronze shifter linkage bushings and managed to shear the rear mount where the linkage pivot/support is welded to it. So there is definately some movement there.

I never did improve it, just replaced with a spare mount but i feel that a reinforced solid rear mount, with a solid dogbone at the front in conjunction with the remaining mounts being poly would have had less movement and stress imparted to the mount, with some sympathy to nvh.

Yeah right. I can't say I have heard of that happening before.

I know a few of the APRA guys abuse the gear pretty hard and have broken some things that has never been broken before, even shifter rods. 

Was that under normal street conditions? 

Ten years as a daily driver and tracked various places about a dozen times a year. Hill climbs, street sprints, drags and such.

I wasnt exactly easy on it at the track. I went through four boxes as well. Axle tramp is a real bitch.

Yeah gotcha. Wow, 4 boxes is impressive! ?

Way too cool, keep up the good work!

Thanks man! Sorry, I missed your comment the other day!

I'm itching to finish it, although have to reign myself back in and just remind myself to take my time with it. :)

Took a quick snap this afternoon. 

Almost finished the body loom for the headlights, indicators, foglights and parkers ?

That is some VERY clean and tidy wiring! 

Where did you get the wrap?

Thanks man! Really appreciate the words. Alot of time has gone into it, as with any project. 

 

For the body loom I used the self closing braided wrap from Jaycar. Which is pretty good stuff and easy to work with. 

 

The engine loom is getting a higher temp rated braid, obviously a bit hotter around the engine than on top of the chassis rails etc.

Good job. I did engine harness only... Couldn't be bothered doing the rest of the engine bay or even paying someone to do it emoji14.png

Thanks man ?

 

With the extensive rewiring with my fuse box, I had to reloom and conduit the body loom after stripping all the redundant wiring out if it anyhow. So decided, no time like the present ?

Thanks, I'll have a sneak peak. 

I'm meant to be doing the dodgy budget build to just get mine going but this is Such a clean build that it's inspiring, and I'm thinking I should take the time to properly mount and clip things, and even give it a respray :(

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
