Does anyone have a photo of the bracket that holds the G-Force Sensor? 

When i got the car, i found that the g-force sensor was removed completely and only the 2 wire harness were there. I purchased a new digital g-sensor but then realized that it mounts on a bracket but i have no idea what this looks like. 

If anyone has a photo of it that would be really helpful for me to design a new bracket

Unfortunately the shape is a little fiddly, eg from google image search for "ATTESSA sensor"

You don't need to have something identical, in my manual converted stagea it has been custom mounted and working OK for about 15 years.  It does need to be pointing forward (as it las separate lateral and longitudinal sensors) and reasonably level when parked (for the same reason), and ideally towards the centre of the wheelbase

Thank you so

There are a pair of studs in the chassis, your right arrow is correct but the other stud is on the opposite corner. Pic from my car

Thank you so much for this picture!

Thanks again @Duncan i was able to 3D scan the interior section and I made a custom bracket and 3d printed a custom peice to mount to the bracket. Without your photo for reference, i wouldn't have been able to do it. Thanks.

It's actually 2 parts i had to make. 

1. Adapter plate for the Do-Luck G-Force Sensor (3D printed). I found that the do-luck sensor was already using 3d printed components so i just removed the 4 screws that holds on the bottom part and created a larger plate to screw into the 2nd bracket.

2. Sheet metal plate that 14gauge mild steel, that bolts onto the 2 studs that the factory G-force sensor bolts onto. 

And yes, absolutely, the sheet metal plate is just a .dxf file that you can share with any sheet metal manufacturer and they will be able to re-create it for you. And the 3D printed file for the g-force sensor to mount is just a standard .STL file that you can load on any 3D printer. 

 

Let me know if anyone wants them, i can share it with them. keep in mind it's specific to the Do-Luck but at this point i can adjust it to accommodate anything.

The sheetmetal part looks like 15 minutes work in my shed with the panbrake.

yep essentially. I dont have a garage yet with all the tools so i send it off to a manufacturer.

    • Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

    • Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.
    • Hope the cans went down well at least 
    • 255 can't go wrong with the price.
    • When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
