That is clean as!

Epic Win!

It looks stock but are you planning on any mods?

Not planning anything major other then to maintain (increase) reliability.

Looking at stainless turbos and a new ECU (Power FC). Probably a new driver's seat (Bride) and an Aussie (well german - Blaupunkt) stereo - that's about it.

Sounds good!

What turbos you thinking off?

Stainless turbos?

I think he means Steel Internal Turbo's.

There are much better ecu options around than the outdated PFC too.

I believe PFC's are still good and they work very well.

It would be my next step up from the Nistune, I am going for.

Doh - ofcourse not stainless (stoopid SS acronym as in HKS GT-SS ;-)

looking at simple N1 or 2530's or GT-SS........the jury is still out and research to be done - just want to get rid of the ceramics as a future potential problem.

And while on the subject of Doh - seeing this my first Skyline - can someone enlighten me on what is the measurement of the numberplate well at the back ?? Presumably the standard 372mm plates don't fit (have seen many 'bendies') but would appreciate an idea of what plates would fit neatly (thinking 5 digit slimline??)

From memory the Ceramic Turbines are 20+ year old Garrett T28 Turbines.

N1 = Garrett -7 / Garrett -9

Garrett -9's have a marginally smaller Compressor Wheel compared to the Garrett -7.

But allow for more top end as the configuration / pitch angle of the turbine blades is different.

HKS GT-SS = Garrett -9, but with a different Turbine Housing.

Good for response and perfect for street performance.

HKS GT2530 = Garrett -5, but with a slightly bigger Compressor Wheel.

Would be "laggy" for street unless you rebuild the RB26 / 2.6lt HKS V-Cam or go for a 2.8lt / RB28 HKS V-Cam.

I got the standard VIC Roads Slimline Plates and they are 'bendies'.

You'd have to go custom slimline if you were to make them fit without bending them.

After 6 months of hard work I've finally bought another skyline. :D specs: '00 34gt 5sp, Work CR Kai 17's, C-West kit, HKS adjustable coilovers, heavy duty button clutch, 2.5 Kakimoto zorst and has a GTR mfd. I'll try take more photos when I have the time to. :cheers:

    • 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
    • Maybe SAUNSW could see howany members would do a motorkhana day if Schofield's is still available for a reasonable price...
