I think it depends on the year. The later ones do. Mine does not

Done an amazing job on that pedal box

Love this car - so unbelievably tidy.

Nice work mate. Zinc hardware does look nice. Sounds like the right choice on the trans mount too. Comfort is important.

Fingers crossed for you as that would be a nice and cheap fix. That is also one of the common recommendations for smoking.

I previously had smoking issues and head work done. What actually cured it was new turbos.

You'll be happy to finally be rowing gears with it again then. Got any idea who you plan to use for the mapping? I know Raja mentioned Protuner have fallen out of favour.

Nice. Guess you got a nice deal on the gearbox? Or do you mean sitting around in a Nissan warehouse for 9 years?

Congrats - Exciting for you

Enjoying following along!

Good luck with the resto. I just wanted to add another vote for PowerZed too.

Finally finished rehousing the Racelogic traction controller into our cup holder - this one was a nice challenge repackaging everything - the standard controller is much wider and deeper than the cup holder! Just wanted to remind everyone - if you wanted something even more custom like this just get in touch.

Just wanted to add, we now have stock of white illuminated chargers, more in-keeping with the standard dash clock, A/C controls, etc.

I have been looking into that, trying to find a charcoal leather effect wrap but the greys all seem way off sadly. The hunt will continue on that front and I may just try a black one too. My only concern would be durability really. Wraps have a stated lifetime of upto 5 years generally, which doesn't really align with my ethos of making these of material to last. Perhaps this could be extended with a clear coat over the wrap.

Happy birthday Andrew. As said above - your input is missed round here.

Trying to keep the updates shorter for everyones sake... One issue I also had was my failed power steering, tried a few different things like different rack solenoids and diagnosing the various sensors related to power steering before just changing the pump. The TT pump is a bit of a pain as new ones cannot be bought and neither can rebuild kits from the usual places. I ended up having to grab a refurbished one from Japanese auctions. Looked nice and this actually solved my issue.... for few weeks or so before the same problem returned!! I have since done further diagnosis, including hardwiring the rack solenoid with 12v on recommendation of Powerzed as a test and no joy. Solenoid ticks just fine and have previously used another one so assume now that is fine and it can only be the pump again? I am currently putting off the job but will have to tackle it soon before summer. Currently thinking I will just bite the bullet and swap to the NA pump which at least is more supported. Also fitted a fuse box along the way given all the trinkets in the car now after a suggestion from Jaikai. Not a fan of random added wires but evidently I now have many but these are all labelled on both ends to make any future work/diagnosis easier. While on the topic of electronics, in the end I had to locate another Racelogic unit to replace my broken one. Works amazingly and love the level of control, not to mention launch control. Will at some point wire in the clutch switch so I can setup flat foot shifting but am putting this off as I told myself I would not launch it too much but ended up buying a Dragy GPS unit and launching many many times, tweaking the Racelogic calibration for the best 0-60 and 0-??? 😉 Not sure flat foot shifting would be the best thing for the drive line, neither are the launches, probably. Oh well. This was installed on the dash next to the boost controller - but has since been removed while I model a means of embedding it under the skin of one of my custom cup holders. You can see it's previous placement below: Also the Tein EDFC controller in place in the dash, along with a 90's Nismo gear knob. And finally a quick picture of the bay after the refresh last summer, my car never will be a perfect example but it's looking much better and more importantly, it's mine and it's enjoyed... when it's working....and it's not raining...and I'm not changing something else on it.....etc.... 🙂

Nice, will be interested in seeing it all fitted. Come to think of it - would be nice to see the whole car too actually.

Still playing catchup with this thread to present day. Next update is a miscellaneous one, plenty of jobs are not covered here as I did not take pics and have probably forgotten a lot (this work was done prior to last summer). Decided to dark tint out the rear fogs as I was never keen on the UK spec rear bumper because of it. Found a very leaky brake master cylinder, this was replaced with a HFM unit (which is great) Also did some general refreshing of the engine bay and the car in general, replacing or refinishing crusty parts, aesthetic and functional. Some examples below. Before: After: Before: After (not perfect but much better): Before: After: This is completely pointless, but it looks nice. I also had quite rusted headlight brackets, the ones actually part of the headlights. I acquired another set of headlights and has the brackets powdercoated and took the best parts from each set and made the best set I could from them. Also replaced the washer bottle with a smaller model from other markets to give more flow to my intercooler but retained the UK spec headlight washer functionality. Before (those rusty brackets were all later replaced, as above!) After: I also came across some horrible wiring in the car from a previous alarm install at some point. I took the opportunity to clean that up as best I could and make the electrical connections sound and recovered with electrical tape (all joints under the tape are now soldered and heatshrinked). Before: After: I also got a new OEM fuel pump as there was available for a great price from Z1 on clearance as the plastic sock had broken in transit so it was on their clearance section. This was not a problem as I was needing to swap over the sock anyway as it differs for a 2+2. I figured it would be a good idea given the mods on the car and how old these pumps are now. Did not bother with an after market one as I understand the OEM ones outflow most after market ones and are good for HP numbers much higher than mine. Annoyingly in the process, one of the little bolts holding the fuel pump hanger snapped. This lead to a chain of events where the tank was then pierced when trying to drill it out!! This then meant I had to drop the whole tank to repair it.... another horrible job on axle stands. The tank was taken to someone near me who does fuel tank fabrication and they welded it up properly. I took the opportunity to replace the flexi fuel lines feeding the tank while the tank was off but don't have pictures of the fix or the fuel lines - was too annoyed and keen to just get things done to take any at the time! But I do have some of the new fuel pump and one showing the inside of my tank to be very clean looking at least .....I think that will do for today! Ha. Well done if you made it through all that.

The HKS ones also support a plug and play harness for easier install, did you get one of those too?

Even has the factory installed radio - rare these days! Congrats on the purchase, that looks like a great example.

You'll have more luck by providing a bit more info. Auto/TT, Mileage, history, known issues, more pictures, etc. Good luck

Welcome! I too would love to see the car!

What's the plan once it is all stripped. Do you know what you will apply?

Just another quick little update to say that I have added the third pre-selectable cup logo option, which is the 90's Nismo logo. Just wanted to add too, custom logos or text (for now) can be requested at the same cost as one of the 3 pre-made options.
