I wonder if the PNM35/G35x trans would plug in to your loom. Might be a worthy swap as it has nicer changes and no external pump to worry about.

I will definitely look into that option. Need to remove the box to replace the output shaft speed sensor as its located in the spacer between the transfer case and valve body. (Need to remove both transfer case and spacer to get to it)20161218_104637.thumb.jpeg.73984d24d0201

Installed the front pipe with new bolts and gasket as well as polished up the Nismo catback. Dash removed and wiring checked and pins reset ready for the parts arriving on Wednesday from Jason. Also removed the outsidereo that was on the Nismo rear bar for a cleaner look. 20161219_191824.thumb.jpeg.7182ac79d9ec2FB_IMG_1482141176859.thumb.jpeg.62cf1cba20161219_191837.thumb.jpeg.891d587d2b9c020161219_193856.thumb.jpeg.5a46bc50db12720161219_194255.thumb.jpeg.faf7e8f87d36f20161219_200124.thumb.jpeg.eff16636d5ac620161219_210909.thumb.jpeg.28cae71eee0e2

With new carpet, washer bottle etc arriving yesterday from Victoria the stagea is almost back together. Still have some headunit wiring to sort out along with reinstalling the amps. Have a locksmith booked in for the 30th for reprogramming and diagnosis. 20161221_104057.thumb.jpeg.207e11d9f160d20161222_155504.thumb.jpeg.4e3dce908888d20161222_155526.thumb.jpeg.ea2141c78128f20161222_155537.thumb.jpeg.b6301eefa578a20161222_155549.thumb.jpeg.63cebea29bed820161222_155614.thumb.jpeg.51442d847acd4

Todays job was to reinstall the weather shields. Ive noticed they have been sprayed with what i think is that tail light tinting spray. I will have to sand them back and reapply as the coverage is poor. When i ripped the rainguards off they had the old grey tape still on with a few sikaflex'd on with white sika flex (more of a sealing agent than a adhesive) and the other few had white double sided tape so both were very noticable. So i have removed 95% and taken back to the bare plastic. I then used a black adhesive sikaflex that will hold them better and hide the adhesive more. Just have to remove the tape after 3 hrs and wipe away any excess sika with grease & wax remover. 20161224_110116.thumb.jpeg.20062f0d478cc20161224_110121.thumb.jpeg.ee765768f29ba20161224_112406.thumb.jpeg.0e67e28ec234620161224_110543.thumb.jpeg.2bb3119a9c07f20161224_112345.thumb.jpeg.812221d37fca220161224_112358.thumb.jpeg.5836059932196

Got a bit of time today so worked on the amp mount location. I received a under boot tray a few days ago so put it to good use and mounted the amps where i had my last one. I just need to wire it all up and install 4 pcu fans to circulate air around the amps. 20161224_201021.thumb.jpeg.f09e5b5d0b23820161224_201530.thumb.jpeg.9a16f050fbd5920161225_173005.thumb.jpeg.332a776a4f3bf20161225_173955.thumb.jpeg.15a6f2c890de120161225_174551.thumb.jpeg.4a0dea020f39e

Been a big development with the stagea over the last 24hrs. She now started. I have read up that because the car never shown a engine light there was a possible earthing issue so i started checking all wiring in the engine bay. Found a black plug next to the battery that, to the naked eye looked connected, when pushed down it clicked and gave me back the engine light. I still had no starter signal when key was turned but i have fuel pump and fuel through the injectors. So i hooked up a direct 12v feed to a push button and now car starts. I still have to find why there is no starter signal but for now she starts and i can move her around and have all the other items addressed. 20170103_200349.thumb.jpeg.9b0b7b27a09b720170103_172626.thumb.jpeg.42ee20677a04920170102_113758.thumb.jpeg.a80cb968733ac

    • Drilled the rubber out on a slow speed and it didn't catch much at all. Probably only half a dozen holes was enough to shred the rubber and it dropped off easily leaving the inner sleeve behind. Will tackle that later
    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
