Having spent the weekend installing my FMIC i finally got all the pipes square and clamped down and i thought. I'll fire her up just to make sure she still woks. But to my dismay. It turned over and almost started but wouldn't fire. Its then I realised id forgotten to disconnect the battery before starting work and i'd shorted the 25A fuse for the radiator fan. Replacing it with the power window one next to it didn't help. Exact same result. Engine turns over wants to start then doesn't.

I then noticed i hadn't connected one of the small vacuum hoses that mounts on to a valve on the inlet pipe, my "kit" didn't have this mounting and when i called the company and asked WTF he said its cool i can just use a t piece from the small hose off the black canister behind the passenger side head light as the is feed into the throttle body its self.

Having done this and not working (same result) i packed it in for the night. then 20 mins ago i got home thought i'd give it another shot and it fired idled for 5 secs then cut out.

Originally i thought it must of been an electrical fault ie blown fuse, but having fired i now think that maybe that vacuum hose (I think it comes from the actuator, small circular brass thing that has a t piece with one feeding to the inlet the other to some other valve mounted on the strut tower) dose HAVE to be plumbed into the intercooler to throttle inlet manifold. Any of you guys got a suggestion??

Well its quite strange. I'm not intirely sure. I plumbed the vaccum hose back into the inlet manafold. then went round the car with a test light finding little. then i realised that as i'd blown the fuseable link that the main fuse would be blown so i replaced it with the air con one. But then before planning a trip to Nissan to get ripped off... i replaced the original one it started... so?????????? who knows. but i doubt the problems "fixed".

    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise    
    • My Fuga Hybrid is JDM, 2014 model but very similar to the V37 from the looks of things..same platform just physically larger and very comfortab;e
    • Was that Australia Delivered Duncan? Does it have siren etc?   I used to have remote start on an old 32 two decades ago, it was a cool feature. I used to wake up early in winter for work. Start it and by the time i was out the door a few minutes later the engine was warmed up and the heaters had the car toasty. It was great.    I don’t mine the ambience lighting.  I drive a western star and it has footwell lights and ambient lighting and it’s great! From the pics of seen of them installed in a skyline I think it’s a nice touch 
    • re the security system, my Fuga/Q70 has the factory option where the puddle lights in the mirrors turn on when the prox key is detected, it was clearly dealer fitted and has a switch in the lower dash to disable it....it didn't have remote start but TBH I don't really miss that, I had it in the Stagea originally but never used it....we don't often have to warm the car up in the snow before we get in for Australia. And the Fuga also has the illuminated footwells, sounds like a useless feature but I actually quite like the indirect light within the car, it was a nice addition
