Yeap. I'm just looking at coilpacks, fuel pump and maybe a short shift kit too. Just reading on the forums at the moment for some more information and recommendations.

Plenty of info on here, if you get stuck just ask one of us and we will be happy to help....

Splitfire coilpacks are tried and tested, fuel pump choice depends on your goals etc and as for the shifter kit, i have the Nismo but i dont believe its much shorter..... Good shift feel tho :)

Oh, if you want to join SAU NSW too, there is some info in this thread -

Its pretty handy if you plan to do any events or want access to the NSW members section :D

I just wanted to mention a side note that occurred while I was installing the intercooler. The kit was not designed with a nipple for a hose on the pipe going into the I.p. So I bought a threading kit and threaded a brass nozzle onto it. I bought the nozzle from autobarn. It looks like this

Some people say it's a power steering sensor something. I'm not too sure what it's for.

So. Alot has happened since the last time I posted.

This came out of my radiator. It looks like they used tap water in the coolant when. They were in Japan. After spending hours flushing and reflushing the radiator I got rid of the gunk.

I opted not to use radiator flush. As I didn't want larger pieces to break off and get stuck in my core all at once. Instead I refilled the radiator with water. Ran the car with high heat and aircon on and drained and flushed the fluid with hot water. It worked a treat.

I used nulon llc as it is very close to nissan llc spec. I used a 50/50 llc to distilled water ratio.

Everything is looking nice and new and running well

I got a chance to use a hoist if I helped with an intercooler install for a Rex

I must say it was easy compared to my install no cutting of re bar or chassis required.

He used the autobahn 88 kit. A decent kit for the money but the core was heavy as hell

My radiator flush was done at 80000km

So just had injectors replaced with cleaner better flowing stock items. Spark plugs replaced with iridiums. It took a fair while to remove everything carefully and do it. post-101240-13760080563215_thumb.jpg engine bay as of now.

New wiper modules. They are 35 a piece but they work really wellpost-101240-13760080394241_thumb.jpg new item on left

Sandwich plate for oil temp finally inpost-101240-13760080289188_thumb.jpg it's the red thing

post-101240-13760081324003_thumb.jpg

I'm following along too :thumbsup:

Just a word of advice; keep an eye on that oil sandwich plate for the first few days. They have a nasty tendency to develop leaks. Just keep an eye on it and sort out any issues if it gives any.

Yeah man. It's the second one I've been through. The first one was purchased from a reputable Japanese Aftermarket parts company here in Sydney. The sandwich plate I got from them didn't work out of the box. I never went back there because their customer service was abysmal. I was actually really disappointed in them because I heard good things. Anyway this new one has held up so I'm praying it works.

    • Getting holes drilled into to cam covers and AN10 fitting welded on. My sump has 2x AN10 fittings on it already. These are the options I have come up with that can be done without needing to remove the sump to add more fittings. In all options front of passenger side cover connects to VCT head drain bung (i know this isn't the best spot but my feeling is it must do something). Option 1 (pink). The back of each cam covers gets its own line to sump. Option 2 (blue). The back of each cam covers are linked and share a line to sump. The front of drivers side gets its own line. Option 3 (Black). Drivers side are Tee'd together and share a line to the sump. Passenger side rear gets its one line to the sump.
    • I'd be surprised if Nissan doesn't mention it in the manual as it seems unlikely that a tensioner is going to last 200,000km.
    • Tapin,    So got mine up and realize a few things. First was my slave line doesn’t reach the other side, so I have to get a longer hose made. I want to ask did you have to extend your wires for the CD009 sensors? One on the driver side(right side of car looking at the car from the rear) and one on the passenger side( the left side of car from rear). And do you know what those two sensors are respectively? I know it’s not Speedo since we talked on this already. And I may have to separate the trans again to swap out throw out bearing. We will see. Did you run your RB slave cylinder? I know you cracked your original but replaced it with a nismo. But wasn’t sure if you bought the one designed for the CD009 or not. Thanks 
    • There is X amount of load on a timing belt. Adding bigger duration cams and valve springs will certainly add some to that figure - but there is no way in creation that you need "300% stronger". There are plenty of big power RBs and JZs running stock belts. There have been more complaints about noise from Gates belts than there have been reports of stock belts dieing young.
