Finally got some spare time and started looking at my Defi's and trial fitting them.

I am going to attempt to leave the cups on them and get a thin bit of steel rod to put through the mounts to help with aligning them together easier, I'll post pics and let you know how it goes.

My first lot of deliveries for the week turned up.

Gearbox oil (Redline Lightweight Shockproof), all new seal kit, clutch alignment tool (which as I mentioned turns out I'll be getting with the clutch anyway haha :( ) and also a magnetic sump plug which I will chuck in next time I drop the engine oil.

So, I finally got around to fitting the Defi's this week. I'm still to fit the sensors, but the gauges themselves are in lol.

I tapped into the IGN power, ground and illumination from the cigarette lighter and then the constant power leading to the head unit for the control unit, thinking I will velcro it into the glove box but currently it is sitting in the passenger footwell lol.

I love how easy it is to pull shit apart in R34's lol.

Someone asked earlier to post pics on how I mounted these, so here it is, I siliconed them! Haha, looks a bit sketchy but I didn't want them falling back and silicon is easy enough to get off so I figured more was best lol.

Fitted up. Not 100% perfect alignment but you can't really tell.

No boost gauge?

Nar, I have the e-boost to check if I need to (currently sitting in the glove box).

If I get another gauge I'll probably pillar mount it and whatever the other one is (only other one I can think I'd get would be AFR but that won't be until I do a bit more engine work).

I've still got a water temp gauge I want to hook up and have looked at AFR as well but as much as I want them in the car I dont want to go through the hassle of pillar mounting them only to get defected

Don't you have an AFR? :3

I don't see it as a necessity just a precautionary thing.

Yep in the glovebox out of sight! It is simply there for troubleshooting if anything goes wrong.... The Haltech protects the engine so no need to watch what its doing!

    • You see R34 GTRs listed for 200-300k are they really selling for these prices? Kinda seems like the same ones listed all the time.
    • Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 😆
    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
