More goodies in the mail, GKTech Braided brake lines and braided clutch line, replacement clutch fan and steering rack spacer! Also got a S2 RB25 throttle body so i don't have to run the fkn huge neo throttle body which has all the cruise and traction control shit on it. Some NISMO engine mounts and Kando braided turbo oil and water lines, although they sent me an incorrect fitting, so once again more delays!

God I love getting car parts in the mail.

Same! But I get bad feels when I know I should have gotten stuff, yet auspost is fcking useless and it arrives 2 weeks late. :(

Looks like a good project mate, good to see you're renewing the old car rather than replacing it..

The wheel choice and bodykit has really improved the car from how it was originally

Thanks mate, Looking back at it I wonder how I was even able to keep it looking like it did for that long, man it was terrible.

looks tough man, did you have to run any spacers with the new wheels?

Nope no spacers, just rolled guards to accommodate the wheels. These rims also have plenty of brake clearance so no issues there either :)

Hey man, nice ride.


Am doing the same conversion but struggling like hell with the wiring. My headlights are stuck on full but aren't actually working, window wipers don't work, can't get the alternator to work, the list goes on - in fact the only thing working properly are the stereo, the heaters and the engine! At the rate I am going I would have rewired an entire new loom when I'm finished. Can't seem to find any wiring diagrams for my R32 4-Door GTE that I am working with either as it is a rare JDM base model piece of crap, should have gone with a GTS-T or GTS-4 instead. Who did you get to do up your loom - because I would be keen to just rip it all out and send both my looms to someone and get it all done by someone who knows whats up?

Cheers

Run standard Loom and get a aftermarket computer rewired for the engine :D

Meh, want to keep it all standardish. I think I will just work out what goes to where, then write up a guide for anyone else who wants to do it.

Cheers man, if I hadn't butchered my loom over the last week that would have been the company I was looking for!

However, I have pretty much solved all my problems now with a bit of persistence and a few blown fuses :whistling: . I will definitely get onto writing up a tutorial on how to do it as soon as I make sure everything is running properly for road use. I don't want to do it now because there might be some little things that will pop up and ruin my life that I am yet to discover. I think a month or two of road use will reveal these problems (if any).

I don't know how many countries have the random JDM variants of Skyline we have over here in NZ (mine is a 1990 GTE) so I might just be posting a tutorial for a niche market but after months of sifting through various forums and sorting the crap from the truth I think I owe it to the community to put something back in :thumbsup: .

Been flat out studying these last few weeks and haven't had much time with the car unfortunately, but i have pretty much all the parts i need now to put it all back together, only major things left are to buy fluids, get the 25 yoke put on the 20 tailshaft and have my gearbox cross-member extended to accommodate the bigger R34 box. I have heard rumors that there is a nissan Gbox X-member that will fit the 25 box to the 32 without the needing to extend it, if anyone has any info on it let me know, i can confirm that neither the R32 rb20 or an R34 rb25 one works, perhaps a 33 one will?

Also i got my wiring done by Simon-S14 on these forums, great to deal with and knows his shit! Took a while to get done but he was drifting at ADGP so he had a good reason haha, also i told him i wasn't in a huge rush.

Will have some more info and progress pics at the end of this weekend with any luck! :)

Nah i did't purchase an adaptor, will be using a SR Hub as you said :)

Also my new braided oil feed and water lines that i got from Kando, only realising now that i don't like the banjo bolts as they are still somewhat difficult work with. Would have much preferred fittings that screw straight into the block, and 90 degree ends to connect to the turbo. Everything looks filthy in this photo but it's really not that bad, the camera flash just makes it look shite.

Old engine mounts........yep. Doing an awesome job.

New clutch fork and support assembly (as i am returning to pull type clutch), proved impossible to source locally so just got it from Amayama.com and got it for less than half of what Nissan Australia wanted...

And a nice beverage after a long day of spinning spanners!

With the engine mounts, you can try what I did and box them on 3 sides (I used cardboard) then I filled the space with sikaflex and let them set.

Bam! semi solid engine mounts, work a treat on my car.

Already got a set of Nismo mounts sitting on the engine, spent enough money at kudos motorsports to get them thrown in for free, not sure if that is a good or bad thing!

    • 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
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
    • To be fair - you see the same thing for every clutch. There's always someone making an installation error.
