Still not sure where I want to take it, everyone says go to efi but their prices are a bit high, I've had bad experiences with recommended tuners before, the people with no recommendations are always more willing to fix their mistakes.

That's if your engine survives their mistakes!!! Do you want to risk a $10,000 rebuild for the sake of a few hundred dollars? The tune is the most important element in the process.

i see your point, judging by how its running now it will only need a quick touch up anyway. im gonna give efi a call tomorrow and get it booked in. just a question, ive never had a car tuned that didnt have a boost guage, should i temporarily install the one from my wifes car for the tune??

My cars tuned and it still doesn't have a boost gauge

:P

I attempted to help Brad install my headrest monitors, we got them all in and got the headunit fixed up. Now we have 4 screens running for our trip over to Melbourne for Gymkhana :thumbsup:

Brake rotors were finished and sent Friday, so just waiting for them to arrive and fit up. Waiting for lots to arrive at the moment...

Want to do mine? I'm so bloody lazy...:rolleyes:

bit of a prick to do but luckily cos i have the plenum spacer i didnt have to take the inlet manifold off too :)

about a 3hr job taking my time to do it carefully.

disconnect all the wiring around the left bank.......... because i disconnect the cam sensor is that going to cause a drama when i go to start it up again ?

Yeh, I've got the spacer too.

I'll be doing mine this week I think. You shouldn't have any issues with engine light as long as you don't turn on the key with any wiring disconnected.

4? where's the forth one mounted?

How hard is it to do these headrest screens? how do you run the cable through the seat?

I have the standard one in the dash, and the 7" pop out one in the headunit. Plus two in the headrests.

Headrest screens aren't that hard, but I sucked at it. Brad was running wire through the seat backs, because there is a void in there, but I sucked at getting the wire through the seat, because there's the metal frame you have to work around.

You need patience to do it, and I don't have enough >_<

I've got a mate who works at Tower Audio who'll do it but he's pretty busy. Not sure if I'm brave enough to attempt this myself...

Might just stick with wifi streaming for the time being

Don't you just unzip the cover at the back & lay them in? Anyway,that will keep the passengers entertained.

And you have a heap of stuff coming if I recall - you are going to be a busy lad over the next little while.:happy:

Apparently they're a pain to rezip and resecure, so we used wire. Not too difficult really, just have to be patient threading the wire through.

Yep, big collection: Rotors, braided lines, shift kit, BCs, wireless reverse camera being the main stuff. Also got pads, adjustable rear toe arms and Informeter which still haven't made it in. Looking forward to getting it all installed :thumbsup:

Headrests are not that hard to put in. Like Ryan said you need patience. I fed a banana shaped bit of wire down the back of the seat. Some times you get it first go other times I just want to throw tools. And if you unzip the seats and undo the plastic lip at the bottomm its a bitch to get back together.

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
