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.

    • Welp, too late already committed to the cam cover breathers to be welded on. I did think about adding a catch can in line with the drivers side sump breather as a phase 2 along with a drain to the sump on the original catch can but with an inline ball valve so I can have it closed if needed.    Likely a single breather would have been enough but I think I’m overcompensating to hopefully not have to empty my catch can and clean up oil over flow every session.    out of curiosity has anyone actually measured crank case pressure before and after various mods? I’m considering adding a sensor for science 
    • Is it a dog or synchro box? I guess either way, if it is new and crunching in one gear only, it has to come out and go back to the shop to check/measure as there is either an assembly or manufacturing issue
    • These are small points I should actually add to my original post. GKtech makes an extended slave line for this conversion. It's what I use, and it works well. You'll also need a CD009 slave cylinder.  S/R Chassis Z33/Z34 Conversion braided clutch line As for transmission sensors, you'll need to both extend the wiring and replace the connectors. I can't recall which is which, but one is your neutral switch and the other the reverse switch. As they are just switches, just test for continuity with your transmission in neutral or reverse to figure out which is which. Connectors:  VQ35 neutral Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties VQ35 Reverse Switch Connector | Wiring Specialties 
    • I’ll try and see it could be the release bearing. As for the 4th gear grind maybe clutch doesn’t disengage properly cause it is slightly like very slightly hard to go into first could be due to the slab cylinder pin being short uni clutch is a twin plate.   Ive attached some assembly photos hopefully you can open the link and see maybe detect what’s wrong https://share.icloud.com/photos/0dc2YvW__Hl6jl-l2_0jejjpg https://share.icloud.com/photos/09e0jkWOK-vP48c1cfY6u3ViA https://share.icloud.com/photos/0b4rDmh5R7pK7fb1VtND73a3g https://share.icloud.com/photos/05eeUi_6dC4DVi80jOUYDgb0g https://share.icloud.com/photos/06335TgY1XxyIJal_wkdQLhzw
