exactly why i want a fixed back. the sr3 recaros i have are amazing seats for street use.

but even on a spirited hills run you could feel them allowing you to slide around a bit. im sure once i have the harnesses in itll be not as bad.

gen nissan sensor by itself is something like $200-$350 check ebay if you like

these are a copy sensor not the cheapest ones I could find but way better than Nissan

the sensor's are used in lots of different models in the US so plenty of company doing cheaper than Gen ones to try

I used one is s14 still going fine now 12 months later

I have 2 left in stock in SA

Well not a lot has happened recently.
Due to getting rear ended back in december and injuring my back.
Bad enough for me to have lost my job for being off work for so long.
I was finally cleared to work on my own car as therapy, so started doing bits and pieces whilst trying to not hurt my back.
Eventually as of saturday just gone I got the engine together and ready to test fire.
Primed the fuel pump, and this is where it went to shit haha.
Literally as soon as I started to prime the pump luke started yelling at me to turn it off.
That's when I noticed my top feed fuel rail has decided that fuel is better off on the outside.
So with that in mind Alan, Luke and myself just tidied up the engine bay a bit, put the bonnet back on and other little bits.
Currently I just need a longer throttle cable and a battery and then technically the engine bay is done.
I will be ordering a GKTECH fan as soon as I'm back at work, as well as the GKTECH abs removal kit.
I decided to swap my pair of recaro reclinable seats and rails for a velo gp90 and cash my way.
with some random mounts and brackets.
I severely regret this decision. But I did want to go to a pair of fixed backs anyway.
It doesn't fit very well with the mounts I was given with it, so I'm going to have to make something up myself it seems.
This is how it currently looks.

Well, some progress.
I've fixed the fuel rail, it no longer leaks.
The velo doesn't fit at all, it's far to wide in the shoulders and hits on the door.

I've sold that to my mate for his silvia, and I'm going to go seat shopping on tuesday.
Probably going to end up with a pair of sparco sprints.

Throttle cable has been swapped out for an s13 one,

still need to swap out the ps pump as it leaks.

and still need to make a battery fit in it.

Need to get a new afm as the standard one is causing issues with the injectors, and I haven't even started the car yet. Haha.

But after the sale of my chaser on friday, I've got a nice cash injection to finish it off.

So assuming I can find some seats and boostworx have some free space It could quite possibly be running by next weekend!


So with the cash from the chaser I went out and bought a pair of Velo GPT-2 seats, they are basically the same as a gp90 except narrower across the shoulders and a little bit deeper bolsters.

Mounted the drivers seat in wednesday night.

Excuse the mess.


Needs to be a little bit lower but I'll sort that out eventually.

Bought a z32 afm tuesday night. Wired that up today.

Finally decided I can't be f**ked finding a battery that'll fit where the standard one is now that there is intercooler piping in the way. So I bought a battery relocation kit.

Started doing the wiring for that this morning. Then I got over it. Engine bay side is done. Will do the rest later today/tomorrow.

Bought a GKTech fan as my rb25 fan hits on the alloy rad, even with f**k loads off the fan cut away. Turns out sr20 fan hubs bolt onto rb water pumps, so no need to run the gktech fan adapter.

Other than that, once I get the battery in it'll be ready to get towed to Boostworx for a tune.

Had alot of issues at the tuner. Many wiring issues popping fuses. Apparently at some point during the first engine swap I must have caught a wire on a sharp bit of metal and it started to rub through.
This caused it to pop ignition fuses as soon as you hit ignition.
all fixed now though and was tuned yesturday.

Turns out it's not a vg30 turbo at all. It's just neo turbo.
Made 214kw. Makes 15psi by 2600rpm ish, got to confirm that once the car gets here so I can read the dyno printout. (currently on a trailer on it's way).
Bleeds off real quickly though. From 5500rpm it starts dropping right the way down to 10psi. So new turbo will be required soon.

VCT still isn't working as I ran out of time to sort it out.
Now I just need to get mounts made for my velos, wheel alignment and rego.

Will be getting a weld in half cage in the near future.

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
