Mine used to be Ford "Blueprint" its now Ford "Shockwave" due to the fact a friend of mine bought a ute in this colour.

What colour is yours Shane ? is it the same or just a close match ?

IMHO the blue plenum is a bit too much (ceramic chrome looks better and is funtional)...but to each their own :P

mine's Ford Blueprint Blue, goes very well with the Puprple Pearl engine bay :)

The blue plenum doesnt look to bad actually, i've also replaced all the bolts u can see with stainless ones, and polished a few bits so it all goes together quite nicely :glare:

Will see if i chrome or paint the Nismo plenum when it comes, but this'll do for the meantime

Well...this must mean YOU stole the colour from me...as mine was "Blueprint" years ago.

The Nismo plenum was a waste of cash...you should have bought a real one.

  • 3 weeks later...

Thats right...decided to put the engine back in the GTR.

Car is currently at Hypertune ( www.hypertune.net ) getting intercooler pipework, coolant header tank, coolant overflow tank and catchcan fabricated. As well as fitting the monster 102mm throttle body. Late this week the car will head to Croydon's ( www.croydonracingdevelopments.com ) for priming, starting, tuning and run-in.

This will be a big relief to have the car back up and running. Racing should not be too far away.

A big thanks to Glen Laws for all his assistance as well as Ben Creswick and the boys at Hypertune for all their work.

Will keep you posted.

fark yes paul *drools*

i bet you cant wait to jump in and go for a drive!

:domokun:

yeah im getting a very itchy right foot.

p.s. the pipe joints are only temp...nice new silicone ones to go on.

Looks mean Paul. Is it still on track for Wednesday's Anzac meet?

no...unfortunately wont be ready...no time to tune and run in...test and tune for Nitro Champs may be first outing.

    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
