Ok, knew I had metal throttle body gaskets somewhere. They reared their head on my toolbox at work today. Glad I hadn't put the motor in, or I wouldn't bother, as it's a PITA.

So, removed plenum, throttle bodies and IAC assembly.
Installed metal gaskets(with a hylomar coating) and reassembled.

Will be a good addition if I ever swap to e85 and start trying more boost.

Washed to carbon bonnet that has been sitting in the garage for about a year.20181012_145844.jpg20181012_155413.jpg20181012_155415.jpg20181012_155708.jpg20181012_160748.jpg20181012_150355.jpg

If it were my build and I had the parts you do. I'd get it running and doing laps on the 7s then you can dial the suspension tuning in and work down your times. If it's not enough power after the car

Looking good mate good progress 
Keep the pics coming 
 
Cheers mate.
Honestly surprised no one has bagged out the stock air box.
I was curious to see if it would work with the 30 bottom end. Was a little tight, but got there.

Read on to find out....

Purchased some oils and drive belts(also purchased drive belts for the white one while I was there)
Installed said belt(power steer)
Installed radiator
Installed shifter assembly
Installed strut brace cross bar
Installed centre muffler section of exhaust

Finished filling with run in oil(I was 2l short from my last lot)
Filled with coolant

Was going to fill transfer and diff, but couldnt crack the transfer fill plug.
Checked and confirmed i also need gearbox oil(dont know why I drained it)

Painted the exhaust tip black again, as the paint had perished.

Any other questions?

Depends on blue slip inspection.
Need to find someone a little lenient.
Anyone know anyone?

There is a guy that posts on the facebook pages peter gtr or something like that, says he will do blues.

Lower bell housing bolts in
Connected fan wiring

Still have to connect the starter wiring, fit clutch slave, fill front diff and gearbox.
Then, should be good to go.

Also washed it. Feels so good.

      Nissan fuga 450gt android screen

      By Duncan · Posted

      That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
