Don't think there'd be the space between the rad support andt he bonnet?

Tried to find a photo... failed. I'll find it... somewhere but it has been done. Not sure if they modified the snorkle but I don't remember it looking "not factory".

There's no over the radiator support intake on the 32's. Just a oval intake under the headlights that clips into the airbox. There's also a port between the in engine bay and the behind front bumper area on side behind the factory wiper washer bottle. How many intake options do you get on the 33's?

I know that, but it looked like they used a 33 snorkle. Grab one and see if it fits, even if it doesn't, it can't be that hard to make work.

Must be getting excited seeing the finishing touches coming together:1311_thumbsup_tone2:

A shame you have to earn the $s before you can put this type of build together , just hope I live to see it done, thought of getting a 3rd job, lol

You must take some vids when you turn the key for the first time, it will be one mad Boat:530_checkered_flag:

Car is finally booked into Insight on the 19th of April for the ECU, fuel system and sensor wire in plus the tune. Thats the good news. The bad news is that V-cam aint gonna fit with my pistons and how my engine has been setup. I had a chat with the bloke who screwed it together and with my positive deck height (+22 thou higher than factory), decked head, larger valves and god knows what, the only way to do it is to have a set of pistons made up with a thicker crown.... I'm not doing that! 

So, bring on the 19th! Hopefully it runs before end of financial year!

Update of engine bay. All thats left to do it swap the harmonic balancer over annndd thats it.

No need to change computers then if no v cam

More to It then that Pete.  That was more of a personal issue and a "f**k you" then anything. 

Its done, it's dusted, whatever.

Just want it running. I have a date, that's it. Get it on the road!!!

Soooo no Emtron?

Emtron KV8 is a goer. Just no v cam. Box that guy up and save it for the inevitable rebuild... we all know how RB's are ?.

    • It can't be some stupidly proprietary video signal coming out of it that only Nissan's can understand. Surely you can just find some generic camera to stuff in there and use hot melt glue/blu-tac/gaffer tape to hold it in place if need be?
    • Update: Tunehouse looked into the problem and identified a wiring issue between the camera unit and the connector. They managed to get it working , but did warn me at some point it will stop working again. From their perspective it is unserviceable and will need replacement. They did some research and found that the new replacement camera would be Approx $1400 supply only (their fitting cost would be $190) . They did provide the part number (28442-JL05B) and a quick google of the part number shows that these are rather expensive brand new (seemingly no longer in manufacture) for the places that still have them in stock, with the used option potentially presenting  the same issue down the track at some unknown point. They are happy for me to supply the part so that they can fit it. Decisions, decisions... I can definitely recommend Tunehouse (thankyou Vee37!). Cost for the diagnosis was as quoted  ($190) , car was ready on time and communication was top notch. Their workshop is super clean and modern, and there was plenty of car candy parked out the front on the day I went.   Would definitely go back.   
    • to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it 
    • For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
