the "import wreckers" near me wanted $170 for the skyline grill

mind you it's run by vietnamese folk who when they see whitefella like me come in it's a bit like "oh harro! here come shtuupid white kid! ret's see how much we can freece him for! har har"

if you're thinking about going ahead with the project good luck and make me one too while youre at it,

if i was to change grills myself i would definately go this way aobut it, falinign that get the laurel style grill....

perhaps it would be feasible CC if you looked on the SAU classifieds?

Heh I'm down with the Vietnamese yo.

eg. ceffo hooked me up with $6 a brake disc machining etc :(

Still $170 can go **** itself. I think I'm getting the slat grill from Slain so I'll leave it at that for now. If I happen to stumble onto the skyline grill for cheap I might have a look at it again.

Good to know what it is now though :)

i think i know where you went...just got all my discs machined for $24...best find of the century me reckons

Someplace on some main road of cabramatta or something. It was mad the discs were so freakin smooth it was smoother than some girls butts I've lic... err touched.

There's also a good parts place around a couple of corners from that as well. Found 2 works 16x8 (doriftooo) rims there the guy wanted $200 with some crappy tyres on them. I though that was ok but I couldn't afford it at the time :)

:)

woohoo... got an R33 GTSt grill today for free, will be doin some light fibreglassing to make it fit the ceffy :)

take out the middle slat, shape it back to an open grille, then fibreglass over it, gel coat and then paint... then put a black mesh behind it and mount the cefiro badge off the stock one off to the side. Booyeh

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
