no worries at all. Everything has been put back because it was confirmed this morning that my welder parts went to Mexico.....yes MEXICO!!!!!!!

Anyway, it might tie in nicely because I have a car coming down shortly that you may have some work from which you can take a look at while I teach you how to weld LOL....just messing with ya!

Yeah when I drop my car off to ariel, ill get him to weld some dash fittings to the rocker covers then if you wanna take the rocker covers, exhaust manifold, dump and rear turbo housing, Craved, and throw some of your coatings on them that would work out good!

No worries Joel

let me know when you are going to take the car over to Ariel and we'll tee something up.

  • 3 weeks later...

Finally a bit of an update....have been flat out getting back on track after the purchase of a new welder. Only the surge tank and turbo flange have been done with the new welder.

Apart from plenums for 4G63, RB20, RB20 (in matt black shades.gif ) , RB30, SR20, G200 I thought I would post up some pics of the kind of work there seems to be a bit of a demand for. The plenums aren't slowing down, I just put the word out there that I can do this kind of work and people seem to catch on.

Turbo Suzuki Swift GTI - weld exhaust manifold, weld fuel lines, build radiator end tanks and mounts as well as modified radiator support to mount it & intercooler piping

To keep this thread going, I will have pics of the plenum work I have done recently over the weekend since they are being finalised for delivery.

Happy Welding,

Ariel

I have a CA18DET 1200 ute being towed up here from Canberra this coming week, you can bring your car up after that if you like :thumbsup: and then an R31 (don't worry Joel, I thought I would squeeze it on before your car tunrs up :whistling:

Dam.....what does it need to get running? Can I help out with it if it comes here?

Junkey (has a quite giggle) - you mean the end tanks for radiators and intercoolers? If so, no. Just measure them, draw it on the sheet and cut away

you "could":nyaanyaa: I am going down to Canberra either this coming week or next week to check out another job so I might aswell come past and have a look at it and see how much i can do with some "templates" maybe enought to get it driving. If you like, pm me your number and I will give you a call when I am heading down

I will be making one for the 32's as soon as I get mine back.

26 plenum is coming along, a little slower than expected but I will definitely have one installed in a car within a month and that's when the first pics will come out :banana:

Considering the inside size of the flange was similar and honestly the customer actually didn't give a sh1t since it is for a junker, he wasn't fussed.

There was absolutely no warping, not when you weld it I like I do :)

Haha fair enough mate was just curious cause I need to do the same thing to one of my manifolds cause my turbo is t2 not t3 so really just after a second opinion of some that has been there before

    • 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
