Ortega_9 Posted April 2, 2019 Author Share Posted April 2, 2019 There is just nothing compared to oem... everything just Lines up. nothing has to be cut to fit it. even the side intakes direct air straight into the intake filters of the Gtm tt kit.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ortega_9 Posted April 6, 2019 Author Share Posted April 6, 2019 Just finished the exhaust with the two Vibrant resonators... first impressions are that there is no noticeable difference when idleing. It's not suppose to supress Sound level, but i guess I was expecting some change in exhaust note. I still need to fit some pipework to the intake before I Can drive it, and see if it has done away with the droneing. now I need to get all the parts back from paint, and put it all together, then I'm about done and ready to get it back on the Road.

Stutopia Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 These are soooo much nicer than the 350 OEM ones 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jdm cars (and the US) don't have any turn signals on the side. So I guess Nissan just slapped the micra/almera/etc blinkers on for the euro models.... This just does it SO much justice...

Ortega_9 Posted April 8, 2019 Author Share Posted April 8, 2019 (edited) Prepping the nismo v3 front bumper, putting some JDM Nissan clear reflectors in instead of the old amber non-facelift. VERY fast delevery, even here in mainland EU, from Torqen, and with stickers and chokolade even with such a "trivial" thing... great service Edited April 8, 2019 by Ortega_9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ortega_9 Posted April 9, 2019 Author Share Posted April 9, 2019 Making sure everything is spot on, putting the new z-speed underscroud extention on, then I need to make some "end-plates" as the Stock Splash guard dosen't fit the corners of the nismo bumper. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ortega_9 Posted April 11, 2019 Author Share Posted April 11, 2019 Ended up making the bumper ends and fastners to make sure everything bolts right up and looks the part. now the list is so short I Can actually see the car hitting the Road within the next week or so... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ortega_9 Posted April 15, 2019 Author Share Posted April 15, 2019 (edited) All put together and on the Ground..... Drove it 3 meters out and back in the garage, and noticed the exhaust rubbing really bad! Aaaaaaaand me being a dick, I forgot that the rear anti sway bar not only moves up and down, but pivots a bit so that it also moves back..... that removes the Nice half inch gap I made around it for the exhaust, and I'll have to get it back on jackstands and torn apart and redone.... again.... also I have some gobelins in the blinker system, as my turn signals only blinks once, then dosen't come on any more.... but the ones in the headlights are on ever so slightly, but not blinking... same with the hazzards. But only when there's ignition on.... I Think I might need to messure for the 5v DRL option and see if that messes the LED bulbes in the headlights. And that means that the whole front will have to come of again.... kinda hate my car right now. But there's nothing to do about it other than Getting it done, and laughing at it afterwards...

Ortega_9 Posted April 16, 2019 Author Share Posted April 16, 2019 And Would you look at that.... my 350z on jackstands..... the front lights was actually not so bad to get at. Took off the wheels and pulled the Splash guard to a side.... so thats awesome. now i need to work out whats on with the lights... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ortega_9 Posted April 16, 2019 Author Share Posted April 16, 2019 And it was the daytime running light with it's 6v suply that was messing up my blinkers. i cut the 6v suply and isolated the wire. now it's only negative and the 12v blinker lead that goes to the turn signal. So now that's done. I need to redo the exhaust, fiddle with the height, get it alligned, and trim down the tailgate brackets thats hitting the back side of the closed trunk... and THEN it should be ready for the Road.... again....

Ortega_9 Posted April 17, 2019 Author Share Posted April 17, 2019 (edited) Well **** me sailerboy....!! just noticed that I now have I slight Oil drip from my bellhousing.... so I suspect the rear main seal to have gone.... so what to do... do I take the chance and look away and drive it for another season knowing that it could faul the clutch at any point if it gets worse, and end the season early... or do I remove half the turbokit to get the transmission off and fix it now, well knowing that i need to remove it all again next winter to fit the clutch that i'm planning on running.... or do i order my new clutch, wait for it, do it all at once, and wait a month, maybe two to get it back on the Road.... Ohh the joys of an old datsun... Edited April 17, 2019 by Ortega_9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stutopia Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Judging by the work you’ve done, I don’t think a half arsed solution is your style. I bet you’ve ordered the clutch already! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might have a look, but right now I Think I just need it to be back on the road, even if I know that it will bug the hell out of me until I get it done.... its just SUCH a horrible job.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
