Been a slow with the updates, finally decided to dig into the boxes I posted a few pages back 

here’s the old b/c pillar trim in the carA26DCC92-5C83-40C6-B772-862E2AB1F60D.thumb.jpeg.71cc5fdd00139376a9a86803b51c6a84.jpeg old and new beside each other, the old ones weren’t the worst I’ve ever seen F26C7294-8FD6-474D-B667-A69ECF728B78.thumb.jpeg.d3027a681410e0c6035b78611e244b5c.jpegand new one installed in the car BA798E42-5BC9-43D6-B9BD-9B315BDE788C.thumb.jpeg.60824859848f0af97cca32bc39c8c5f4.jpeg

Just out of interest because I have similar issues with boxes and B pillar trims - how much of a pain in the arse is fitting them and did you break any plasticky clips in doing so?

They’re pretty easy, just pull the back seat out then the side panels and peel the old ones out l. With the new ones make sure the clips are lined up with the holes before bashing them in

It’s the hi octane sheet metal extended sump, it’s got internal baffles and trap doors and obviously and extend pick up as well 2D6394BF-39D1-4BA6-B8A0-FABF64BB6336.thumb.jpeg.91425a86c28d52a9edf94d35dd540f42.jpeg918FF714-F1FD-45D1-A44B-EDB7343CDABB.thumb.jpeg.b99b0ff33b5629d8fdefb3de5b7f35fd.jpegwith the limited light I currently have these are the best photos I could get,

We’ve found both of the engine mounts are half ripped So I’ve ordered a new set and once they arrive the engine can go back in

Coincidently my RB26 started popping I/C hoses and generally being ugly.  Same disease. A half torn passenger side engine mount.  Looks like it is not uncommon.  The tear was where the rubber was glued to the steel - Nismo item too.

Edited by djr81

I had the same issue when I bought the car in 03 and turned out to be the passenger mount was completely ripped and I put a genuine Nissan one in it. If I can get another 15+ years from these ones I’ll be happy

    • Hi All, I'm based in Sydney and want to get hold of 4 stock R34 GTT wheel caps as pictured. Cheers
    • Haha im flattered! Although my poor boat is collecting dust in the garage, as it hasn’t been driven in like 6 months. I forgot the to put the trickle charger on too, so the battery is likely toast now.. I have the frenchys kit. It is fantastic. My only gripe was that the hard lines from the firewall needed some tweaking, however, this was mainly due to my specific turbo and dump combo. The weight and size packaging is much nicer too. I think I have some pics on my build thread somewhere.. my justification for the kit was more “why not” I had gone to the trouble to modernise just about every other part of the car..
    • Actually, ethanol has probably never been cheaper, on a tax free basis, than petrol. With fuel excise being what it is, and only being levied on the hydocarbon component, not the ethanol component, and ethanol for non-drinking purposes not being subject to liquor excise - E85 was cheaper, but not because the combustible liquid itself was particularly cheaper.
    • Maybe? If changing the cat to a higher flowing cat, caused the turbo to spool more quickly, and those areas of the map had not been tuned for the boost level it is now seeing, then yes you would need a re-tune. How dangerous it is running without the updated tune would depend on how far out the tune is with the now higher boost levels, how the engine protection has been setup, is the ECU compensating with a wideband sensor, is the boost control closed loop blah blah million other things... But yeah having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if changing out the cat for a high flow, in say a full 3" exhaust, made no noticeable difference at all. 
    • Ah yep. I asked a auto electrician about getting a cheap rebuilt alternator vs a new one. He also said he used to it back in the day but it ended up costing similar to what a new one would and recommended getting a new one,.
