Nice car!

(I only like it cos it has a purple front on the stereo) :)

I'll get a night shot of it all lit up... you'll love it even more then. So whaddaya think of the knob? :P

Justin,

a couple of years back I drove to Kyoto...IIRC the drive was somewhere between 3 and 4 hours, but that was 5 people, plus luggage, packed into a Nissan cube with 89 PS of raw power and a max cruising speed of around 80mk/h, less when going uphill :):P:)

I imagine, in light traffic and with a heavy right foot, you guys could easily do it in around 2 hours or so....

Mmmm, interesting... Troy, what do you think?

Dave, I've been quoted anywhere as long as 6 hours!! ;)

but that was from my place to Kyoto - no Osaka. Depends on the traffic really - going there took a lot longer (as I recall) 'cause we got caught up in traffic around Nagoya...

As I said before, I highly recommend you stop off at the Nissan Prince museum in Nagano - it's on the way to Yamanashi and well worth the visit...it'll break up the long hours on the expressway too....

if you give me the post code, or name of the area of where you're living now I can run it through me Nav system and get an accurate time/distance report from here to there/there to here...

I think the six hour estimate assumed you were driving with Miss Daisy :) RB powered rocket ships (and Evo's :P) should be able to do it much quicker than that :)

Justin, arghhh... traffic depending, it took me 4 hours to get to Suzuka during last year's F1 final but that wasn't taking the highway and there were heaps of traffic. But nice traffic...I pulled into a convenient store just a few kilometers from the circuit and there were a few F40s, 360, Lambos, Porkas also going to the race but stopping for a break. I managed to get some attention when a few French Rally fans came over and asked if I was a rally driver :):D:D (taking the back roads the car was very dirty and it rained heavily on the way over, not to mention my mate and I were in our F1 Malboro Racing shirts) ;)

Now in comparison if I took the highway heading to other places...it took me 3 hours to get to Hiroshima with light traffic, or 4 hours to get to Takatsu Snowfield North of Gifu or North to Japan sea - Amanohashi 2.5 hours. By right you should be able to get to Tokyo in 6 hours but not with Japan's traffic...10 hours more like it, but where Dave lives I think it is still quite rural...I still say 4 hours including short breaks or 3 hours nonstop.

Dave, are you talking about that interchange North of Nagoya/South of Gifu? If you take the wrong lane/turn you end up doing a big loop.

stock?

how much are the mirrors mate?

oh and less talk more pics ;)

Price as bought in Japan (ie: no freight cost) A$300.

Heres another pic... and it ain't pretty. This view will change soon enough:

engine_with_pod2.jpg

looks like my engine bay. (including the APEXi pod) - are you going to box that up?
Evo_Lee has boxed his air cleaner up quite well, with a new "SuperAutobacs super induction air feed suction pipe"... and seeing as me and him are unofficially competing with each other with mods (he's leading - trust me ;)) I might just try and box it up and put a cold air feed in too.

Justin, if I still had the factory airbox like you do, I would have converted it to enclose the pod.

The one I have now is a WRC airbox, but look through the books I passed to you...I'm sure you should be able to find some airboxes in there.

Are we competing...I maybe leading but your car is still lighter, more so when your carbon bonnet goes on...yikes!

come on Dave, you've secretly got a turbo hiding under there right?

plus don't you have a set of TE37, reduced unsprung weight!...if you take out the spare wheel, jack, rear cardboard, carpets, babyseat etc you should be able to run against Justin...would certainly be an interesting test too ;)

come on Dave, you've secretly got a turbo hiding under there right?

hehehe, the only way I'll have a "turbo" under the bonnet of my GT-V (anytime soon) is if I borrow the wife's hairdryer and duct tape it in the engine bay :D :D :D

I dunno - stock 200PS RB25DE GT-V Vs slightly modded RB20DET GTSt????

...the GT-V is slightly heavier than a 25GT (due to the extra GTT parts)...I've wanted TE-37's for a long time, but a set of Work Emotions came my way and I couldn't say no. Isn't the R32 GTSt lighter than the R34's anyway?

Nah, a few mods to a the RB20DET and Justin will leave me for dust ;) Still, be an interesting race though :D

    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
    • 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.
    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • 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.
