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.

    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
