This place has been dead for years, everything died out around 2013 in the Tasmania forum. Lots of us still owning/driving/racing skylines, but pretty much everyone has moved to facebook groups etc. f

Would love for it to become a thing again, although I know that's unrealistic. I really dislike facebook groups. I try to post on SAU when I have news about my build etc.

my power fc is locked/password protected whatever, would a tuner be able to unlock it does anyone know?

You need a Datalogit to unlock it. Yes a tuner might be able to unlock it if they've got the smarts.

never seen a 'kit' before mate , most people use stereo (0 or 4 guage) cable (there is probably better cable you can use? ) , and run it from wherever the + battery terminal under the bonnet leads to, then earth to the body somewhere in the boot then buy a marine battery box and house the battery in that :) (just remember the battery has to vent outside the car to be road legal)

Thanks guys.

Haha I'm the sort of person that whenever I play electician, I leave the shed with tingles lol. I can do a little bit. Once I find where the +battery terminal leads to and mounts, I can run the cable and hook it up into the battery leads ok. How do you go about securing it in the boot so it doesn't roll around? Otherwise it not bolted down but it secure positioned in the footwell behind my drivers seat :laugh:

Most of the stuff you need you should be able to find at a campervan/trailer place or auto electrician joint will sell the parts.

You'll need the biggest cable you can afford (up to 0 gauge) 4ga as a minimum. Don't use car audio cable, use something with thicker strands in the windings.

6-7m of + cable

2m of - cable (must be the same size cable or bigger)

Insulated mountable terminal post

Crimp on ring terminals (once the cable is cut to length, get somone to crinp them on the cable for you)

Heatshrink (thick stuff with glue inside)

Battery terminals

Battery tray

Battery tie down

Battery box

Make shure you sand back to bare metal any earth points on the chassis. Any terminals on the cables have to be crimped on correctly. Try and consolidate the + feeds onto the + post in the engine bay.

Have fun

      There are black hose clamps as well if you care. Plazmaman for example sells some: https://plazmaman.com/product/black-hose-clamps-premium-quality-stainless-breeze/

      After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
