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. 

If you're interested this is their website:

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 would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
