So I fitted this over the last weekend.

I have looked at this brace a few times and wondered how much impact it would make. But I hadn't known anyone to do it to ask.

Have you done the OX rear bar and daleo front bar? If so did it have a similar change as they do?

So I fitted this over the last weekend.

Does it do anything?

It looks like it's supposed to attach to the body somewhere, but with the HICAS rack activated; I don't expect that would be a good idea at all.

So we took the car for a spirited driving on a motorway, long winding roads and back roads. All I can say is the handling is much improved overall, especially less twitching at the rear end. I do have the front underbrace and top strutbrace. I guess every little bit helps.

bought a cheap Greddy intelligent informeter touch, the touch screen is broken. ordered new touch screen from aliexpress.com and all sorted now.

Winning!

How cheap was cheap?

around $160-170. I saw some guys here bought new for $500?

I think mine was around $400 or so when I bought it several years ago (with good US exchange rate), so that's a damn good find.

I'm assuming the touchscreen was pretty cheap too?

Taking a punt and ordering a Starter Motor for a 2003 LHD Infiniti from the US...

It mounts on the drivers side as oppose to the passengers so i am hoping it will work out for the manual conversion. The measurements look ok

Also measurements will be taken to get the tail shaft made up and then hopefully once the starter is on it will be a case of bolting everything back together with the 6sp from the 350z in place.

Clutch pedal still needs to be sorted and i havent even looked at centre console but i am hoping these are fairly straight forward.

Then will start the ECU head aches:p

(it's totally gonna be worth it)

Practical mods are the best kind, right?

Finally got the roof racks fitted to the stag, after the roof rack superstore stuffing me around for 2 weeks.

Both of the sunroof's still open which is nice, except its super noisy thanks to the racks. Might have to invest in one of those wind deflectors...if they actually work.

Will be fitting an awning to it in the coming weeks to, for the weekends away!

    • ...just a note of warning, you shouldn't drive it about with the TCU in limp mode with only 3rd gear available ~ apart from the fact you end up sheering the ATF at the torque converter interface, the high clutch in these isn't especially the strongest, particularly bolted to the RB25DE mill...which is likely a 4AX01 box with lighter duty high clutch (the RB25DET got the bigger high clutch)...be careful out there...
    • Hoping to do similar mods to my RB20 once I get it running and reliable again
    • As you're looking at using a Link ECU, then large injectors are not a problem. But there's not really any need to go 1000s on an RB20 unless you're planning >>600HP on E85, which would seem unlikely. There are other options for injectors. The Xspurt ones are available from a number of places and you can get them in the mid 600s and 725cc, which is probably a sensible place to be. These are all EV14 based. If you are not using the stock AFM (at all, which would be the case with a Link) then a large turbo intake pipe to suit the ATR turbos is not an obstacle, so you should use one instead of a highflow. Results will be better.
    • Hey guys,  I'm after some advice and this here is the best place to get it imo. I was a member a looong time ago under another account, with a lost email address. Its nice to jump back on and see some of the same names still giving good advice.  I mothballed my car when i moved to perth in 2013, and after getting towed across the nullabor a few times it has officially done more km's on a trailer than under its own power. Now that i have started the process of tidying up and modifying it, i see the fruit available (and the fruiterers selling the produce) is different than back in the day. hence my questions, as i used to 'know' what to get and now, i'm not so sure. Engine wise the car (92 gtst) has a walbro 255, k+n, fmic, cam gears and and turbo back 3"exhaust. Wish list is a Hypergear high flow or ATR43G1, Link G4x and some newer injectors before a tune up. My goals are modest, only low 200's power wise. i know i could achieve this with less, but i've been swapping out old for new where i can. Every cooling hose has been replaced, along with mani gaskets, WP, thermostat and radiator, fuel pump and timing belt, tensioner and idler, and i rebuilt the steering rack. Regarding the injectors, the fruiterers all seem to sell what used to be considered quite large injectors. There are a lot of options for bosch 1000cc EV14's, and i would like to know if that is a suitable choice for my build. Is modern injector design good enough to run these at the low duty cycles that i likely would be? is there a downside to running a too large injector these days? or, would there be an upside to running a smaller injector at higher duty cycle? I can see that there are smaller injectors still available, but the ones i have seen specifically marketed for RB's are pretty large (see: https://golebysparts.au/collections/fuel-rail-injector-kits/products/nissan-rb20-fuel-rail-bosch-980cc-1150cc-injectors-turbosmart-fpr800-regulator-kit), and i dont know enough about them to say one not marketed for RB's would fit or not. I have searched the forums, and amongst all the posts on older tech, I did see gtsboy recommend EV14's, but no size was mentioned... again, i'm not clear on if the smaller size bosch injectors are also EV14's as they do look similar.  also, if someone can recommend a tuner familiar with RB's in the Geelong or West Melbourne area i'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance guys. Cheers, Rowdy  
    • FWIW the depth of the groove in the rubber pad is not super essential, the blocks are rubber and squish a bit. If you are worried an angle grinder will make a deeper groove quick smart
