Along with checking the manifold flange for flatness, the t4 twin scroll gt35 atp housing I received had a lot of loose sitting slag deep inside the scrolls (out of sight). Worth thoroughly checking for the sake of the exhaust wheel.

Is Sabbadin Automotive is doing the mechinical work for you?

Yes, we had the car transported down to Melbourne into Robs trusty hands for the engine build and to oversee the whole project.

I'll make a note of checking that. The turbo is supplied from Full Race so I'm unsure if they are they same as ATP's?

More pieces coming in, it seems like it never ends...

The calculations we did for the new engine require an extra Bosch 044 and 1000cc injectors, so time to spend some time upgrading the whole system.

We have decided that the Tial MVS wastegates will not be water cooled (interested to hear peoples thoughts on this though), and that the run in tune will be 11psi with normal boost being set at 23psi. Interestingly the Tial MVS runs 3 springs to make the desired boost pressure, as compared to the usual one or two.

New fuel system. One 044 with the standard pump acting as a lift wasn't going to cut it. Now twin 044 and a dedicated low volume lift pump to reduce heat build-up in the fuel. E85 Ready too ;)

We have hit a hurdle lately with the wiring that has stopped the dash/heater controls/windows/speedo to stop working. (If only i could fine a body harness wiring diagram!!! :rant: ) If anyone has had anything similar please by all means let me know, as the issue is causing the alternator to stop charging and thus the car is basically unusable. We have tried several auto-elecs to help out with the issue but nobody seems to be willing to take on the challenge. If anyone knows someone that can lend a hand, please pass on my details to them.

Finally got the car back in Sydney, the car has peformed very well and I'll try to go through all the stuff we have done over the last few weeks.

Needless to say, a severe lack of traction all the way to fourth gear, so some new sticky rubber will be the next thing on the list.

Looks the goods Dale, where did you get the polished fuse box cover? Do you guys sell them?

I bought it from the UK through a guy who made some in his spare time and sold them on eBay. Not sure if he is still doing them though.

We made some carbon fibre ones for a while, but they didn't sell very well.

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
