Hey pred, ive done this to my gtst, i bought the bracket new from nissan, and was able to modify and mount the original latch/catch whatever to work with the grill/bonnet etc.

Its the piece the horns mount to and the latch and shit. I dont think it was that expensive. trade helps :P

I did it earlier today.. no new latch required..

basically it involves just unscrewing all the bolts and moving things around a bit..

For the main bracket the latch attaches to (it bolts to radiator support with 2x bolts).. you will need some spacers/washers behind and before where it screws into the support.. to pull it back a bit.. then some longer bolts. Basically you want to move it back 1cm or so.

Then you will need to push it "up" by undoing the bottom bolt and pushing the whole lot up. Then reattaching the bolt so that the bracket is sitting on the top of that bolt.

You may have to play with a couple of the latch bolts, and it has some movement built in, so get it in the right place then tighten.

There is probably different ways to work it, but mine latches very nicely now.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
