Also looking into options for the battery. Possibly a stand+enclosure welded up.... at the moment it's literally propped up with wood hahaha

Standard size should fit ok? Mine does

Few questions...

The black fuel line that runs over the plenum.. Should i braid that for the lulz?

I cant see a fuel line over the plenum? Theres a black vac line that you should make longer and run under the plenum

Also considering either braiding or getting one of the old school greddy hard pipes for the top Rad hose...???

Nah?

Next on the list is a toss up and i can't decide.

Gearbox rebuild- Typical synco issue coming down from 5th to 4th, loves a good teeth clean.

Buy another box and when it breaks use the two to make 1 hahaha

Diffs - Replace both front and rear with a quiafe front and nismo pro rear.

Whats wrong with the standard rear diff? Just rebuild it. And front diff is motor out so might as well do extended sump instead of quaife rear diff

Suspension - Sway bars (probs whiteline, nismo is more than twice the price now) and replace my Teins with MCA blues orrr Nismo suspension. 

MCA

But hey, dont let me stop you haha.

Standard battery does fit. I'm just not using one.

Sorry I meant the vac line for the fpr. Yeah might get a longer one and just tuck it.

As for the gearbox if I have to drop it, for $900 I'll just rebuild it. 

And as for rear diff again nothing wrong with a rebuild just thinking  if I'm doing it I may as well do it properly. 

If i'm getting the rear diff rebuilt award will do it. thoughhhhh if i do that 

Ill get Ultimate to pull the rear diff and gearbox out and ill take them down in the cube. 

 

$$ ads up quickly.

Started polishing the footrest but its too bloody hot. Will also get some rust converter for the bracket and have a crack at that on the weekend. 

It seems like it should come up OK, that rust section on the face that is on the left will probs require sanding but the rest has come up pretty good for 20 minutes worth of work. I might even leave the bit on the left for the time be and polish the rest up and fix it later. 

  • 3 months later...

So it had a good check over, a couple of little long term things that need addressing but nothing major. Overall pretty happy. Fixed a few things and the car is driving beautifully, it's amazing when little things can make the world of difference. 

Next will be sway bars i suspect. 

 

 

Oh also...

I am the 1st person in history that after not having HICAS for years, loves the feel of it now that i have it. Legit cannot understand why people lock it out, i can understand removing it for the weight, but the car has so much more direction above 80km/h.

    • Holy smokes brother. If you get there before me, let me know if that was manageable with a hone. I still haven't done anything with mine and probably won't until I get the car MOT'd later this year so that I have another 2 years to do what ever needs to be done. I am at 86.5 now so at least I have the 0.5mm to go up from where I am, but that means new pistons at the very least. Honestly, might consider a stroker at that point.  Cheers
    • It's the adhesive holding the ceramic wheel to the shaft the fails on 90% of them.
    • Foreign debris, physical shock, boost leak, could be anything honestly. The danger in taking all the timing out of a tune/hitting the R&R corner is that even if the engine doesn't detonate your turbo is taking a lot of abuse from high EGT. Also, even if nothing goes wrong it is a journal bearing that is spinning at 100k RPM on boost. Eventually it goes through enough cold start/pressure cycles to wear it out.
    • I kinda accidentally saw this, and was interested, but It actually seems to replaces the whole center computer, using the existing screen and buttons. AND it may only be for a G37 and not compatible with a Japanese 370. So its not for me, but someone else may be interested to look into it. Its about $680USD. If I am understanding it right, it basically replaces/installs and android pc that integrates with the existing screen. But I could be wrong. https://gromaudio.com/vline/ The video I first saw was the following, with very little and unclear details.     Even if your not interested in the system, the video on their site was pretty comforting in showing how simple the whole centre comes out
    • hfygrte52 what side you looking for? Do you care what color car it's off? Found a white LH side on here: https://skylinespares.com.au/product/nissan-skyline-r33-coupe-rear-tail-light/   Aussie parts place but will ship to USA. Maybe get it before there's a tarrif on 25yo shit box parts
