Did anyone else but tats and myself see the little fiat bambino. Complete with half cage and a turbo strapped to the side of the little 2 cylinder engine?

Was the coolest car of the show for me

I took a couple of photos. I might post them up but I had a smear on the lens which wasn't apparent until I looked on the computer.

when I got home from Wheels on Sunday I heard water frying on the engine :(

Checked it out and it seemed to be comming from the back of the block where I couldn't see or get to.

I got REAL concerned...... you'd understand if you knew my history with this GTR.

Did some further checking on SAU to see what it could be. Opinions - a hose (sigh of relief)

It turns out one of my Turbo water lines that goes around the back had a pin prick of a hole but opend up under pressure.

and you cant get to it without taking the inlet manifold off and other stuff around that area.

1 x 4" hose $8

2 x hose clamps $7

Labour $330 - Ouch!

Peace of mind - PRICELESS!

yeah, both Andrew Mark stopped like champions!

Turned out that the positive battery cable past too close the extractors, melted the insulation and earthed it out.1 new battery and a relocate for the cable and I was running again. Interestingly, the first battery was still

hot to touch 1½ later…pinch.gif

I did.... I think I might have missed Zeb's Supra out, but took it from that end looking down when all the cars were still there. I'll upload it when I get home from work.

alright thanks heaps, i just completely had a brain fart and forgot.

    • Looking at finally painting and installing my R32 GTR wing I bought back in 2018. I got two quotes: Quote 1: $880 includes: wing, spare boot, holes welded up prep/paint. Pro: full boot with wing AND hole-less boot with lip i can swap between Con: $$  Quote 2: $330 wing only. Pro: cheaper Con: lose my (relatively) rare no holes sedan boot Also to consider I do plan on painting my whole car at some point "soon" (been saying that since 2018) Anyway Enjoy these All Japan Day 2025 pictures of my 4 door, still rocking the Calsonic Livery! Rolling in Interior shot Matching Peer Pressure Racing overalls are pretty cute ngl. This year was a hard 1990 cut so I got to be over with all the older cool stuff Next to arguably the best car there. A mighty S-Cargo
    • I personally would run 2x from the cam covers into the catch can, 1x sump vent to catch can (would mount this at a low point of the catch can, so it can also act as a drain). I would see if you can run a -12AN down there to improve venting and also draining. The head drain thing, just drain that back to the sump on the other side. Catch can to be vented, unless you plumb or back to the intake.
    • Yeah the head "drain" is rather a sump/crank case vent. My catch can stopped filling up after venting the sump to the catch can. I have 4x fittings in mine, which is about 5Ls. 2x cam, 1x sump vent/catch can drain, 1x fitting back to the intake and a massive breather which can be blocked so it's a fully sealed system.
    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
