Cheers,

Ali

The bracket and the hook are not actually connected (imo). The hook is for towing the car from a racetrack and the bracket is for mounting the licence plate off to the side.

The Apexi kit looks like an RSM, the PFC controller is in front of the clock and the Carrozzeria amp is the same as Pioneer. It looks kinda funny having a roll-cage and an amp in the car - identity crisis! :P

Also looks like an aftermarket radiator.

And I agree with Mick, that colour looks brilliant!

Drift warrior or racer, but hopefully mods have been done properly. I'd say ABS, etc have been removed to reduce weight. Engine runs at least (it's running in the last 2 photos). Looks to have a radiator cap on the power steering reservior (???). No fan shroud, which from memory is an unroadworthy item in Vic (?? - well it used to be, but might have changed). No rear seat so you'll have to register it as a 2-seater if you want to keep the cage. Wonder what that box is in front of the battery.....oil coooler.

Anyway, good luck with it, looks clean :P

Std intercooler, std brake calipers. Looks to have a Power Fc Boost Controller, or could possibly have an AVC-R tucked away somewhere, but most likely a Pfc Bosot COntroller Kit.

Has Splitfire coils, adjustable brake bias, aftermarket radiator...llooks liek it will be something to enjoy at the track:)

Interesting....mines definately different - it's black with wires for the fluid level sensor (I thought they all had that.....every stock Jap spec one I've seen has).

hmm now that you mention it... that sounds familiar... wires coming out of it... haha I'm not sure now! :P

the box in front of the battery is the catch tank, not an oil cooler.

like the boy said it has:

splitfires

hard pipe kit

oil catch tank

no abs

a/m radiator

PowerFC + boost control kit

cage

lot's of gauges and an Apexi RSM

it has a cusco master cylinder stopper

also Troy, I'm pretty sure that what you think is a brake bias adjuster is just one of the old Tomei manual boost control valves. dunno why it's still there, they probably just left it there when they installed the apexi gear.

the metal thing on the front bumper is actually two things. 1 is a number plate mount the other is an aftermarket tow hook (has one on the back too).

It's a boy racers car. no dobut. providing it has been well maintained (which it may not have been) it could be quite a nice car.

Could quite be a genuine Nismo edition. May just be a copy but there isn't ABS and there soesn't appear to be anything aitcon related in the engine. The fact it has just the single lip spoiler can always be imitated and rear wing removed though.

i doubt its a NISMO one cos it still has the rear windscreen wiper (altho wiper part looks to be removed) and still has the a/c lines.

would seem funny to remove the ABS to save weight when you install a dirty big amp! haha dont some come without ABS?

and i am pretty sure they are standard afms.

Thanks for the feedback guys!! I def. like the colour...makes my Gun Metal Grey one like rather bland....

Well i'm definantly getting it, as I recently got an import approval for 89 Nissan Skyline and 90 Mitsubishi GTO...........so can still import under the old rule, import approval is granted on these conditions:

Section 20(1)(B) of the Motor Vehcile Standards Act, on the basis that the vehicle:

-was manufactured before 1 January 1989; or

-was manufactured before 1 January 1991; and

-that you made a financial commitment and purchased the vehicle prior to 7 February 2005;

-and the application to import was made before 1 January 2006: and

- that the vehicle was 15 or more years old at the time of the application to import was made......

Yay!!! :P

also Troy, I'm pretty sure that what you think is a brake bias adjuster is just one of the old Tomei manual boost control valves. dunno why it's still there, they probably just left it there when they installed the apexi gear.

.

LOL..could be, i thought it read Tilton, could be Tomei:) Have a look at he side engine bay pic and look at the master cylinder. See where the compression fitting normally goes into the cast base, if you look above it...

There appears to be a line running back towards the drivers rear view? I dont think that std...anyone else comment?

    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
    • OK, now we are ready to get started. You need to remove the air boxes on each side for clearance. The cover is straightforward, undo the clips on the top and lift the front cover out of the rest of the housing. If it is tight you can remove the air filters first. The rear section of the airbox is trickier. On each side you need to remove the Air flow meter wiring which is held to the airbox with a clip; you need to get behind the clip on 2 sides if you want to remove it without breaking it - unclip the harder side and pull on the clip with medium force, then unclip the easier side and it should pop out The airbox is held onto the intake hose with a spring clamp; you need to get a flat bladed screwdriver behind the spring on both sides and pop them outwards. When you have got them in the right unclipped place they will stay there and the airbox slips out pretty freely. Put a rag in the intake to prevent anything getting dropped in there, and also to prevent you seeing that the turbo seal is leaking oil (as they do). Then. The top of the radiator is held by a steel plate, it is secured by 2x10mm and 2x12mm headed bolts . Remove them and remove the plate Also grab the bushings that hold the radiator to the plate on each side so they are not lost!
    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
