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.

    • It can't be some stupidly proprietary video signal coming out of it that only Nissan's can understand. Surely you can just find some generic camera to stuff in there and use hot melt glue/blu-tac/gaffer tape to hold it in place if need be?
    • Update: Tunehouse looked into the problem and identified a wiring issue between the camera unit and the connector. They managed to get it working , but did warn me at some point it will stop working again. From their perspective it is unserviceable and will need replacement. They did some research and found that the new replacement camera would be Approx $1400 supply only (their fitting cost would be $190) . They did provide the part number (28442-JL05B) and a quick google of the part number shows that these are rather expensive brand new (seemingly no longer in manufacture) for the places that still have them in stock, with the used option potentially presenting  the same issue down the track at some unknown point. They are happy for me to supply the part so that they can fit it. Decisions, decisions... I can definitely recommend Tunehouse (thankyou Vee37!). Cost for the diagnosis was as quoted  ($190) , car was ready on time and communication was top notch. Their workshop is super clean and modern, and there was plenty of car candy parked out the front on the day I went.   Would definitely go back.   
    • to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it 
    • For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
