i found an air driven die grinder works really well to nicely shape the cut section so it looks original and doesnt hurt the paint (eg doesnt chip and flake it)

prices are neg.

Athid* my bad

hope you guys had a great time, congrats to both of you glad hamish didnt run to nigeria with your present too! haha see you when you get back... an e-mail is sitting in your inbox from myself ... eager for your reply

good old contest mention aye!

usually a short in the airflow metre wiring, i would say when the car was converted to map sensor, the air flow metre plug may have been cut off or somehow shorted between wires, this will cause said fuse to blow!

yeh, its one of your engine control fuses under the dash (under steering wheel) ... when its blown the powerfc will crack the shits and make all the relays click... but when the std computer is plugged in, there are no problems its not the computer, its just a blown fuse

just out of interest, what is the average price per litre for e85, and compared with fuel, does it burn more per 100km?

mmmmmm got unsafe and illegal.... shotgun not being your passenger

oh nicky boy ... happy birthday brutha!..... recon you could pick me up and take me somewhere? without charging flagfall or rates?

yeh interested to know exactly what turbo

jonesl, the plenum might be forsale soon as im seriously considering parting the car out ali-turko, not sure exactly what i would sell the whole car for as is, as sad as it would be for me considering the work ive put into it... i'd probably end up parting it out, although offers are welcome and ric, my bench is usually clean... just not when you come around

last time i ever help you... get your own workshop, hoist and knowldge ppffttt

i recon the BLitz I-D SBC ftw

a. did you rewire the plug properly when changing back to standard afm? b. did the wires on the afm touch while doing the rewire? as a short circuit between them can blow a main engine control fuse which makes it run like shit c. do you have standard injectors? because aftermarket injectors on the standrd ecu will also cause this d. did you check the hoses, joiners etc for cracks and tighten all hoseclamps properly as vacumn leak can also cause this

So a few years ago, a mate dragged me along to watch the wednesday night calder drift practices.. amungst the cars were some shitboxes that somehow were managing to perform what kind of looked like a drift, but hey... they were giving it their best shot anyways this inspired me, with a small budget and limited knowledge, i too was wanting to give it a go so off home I went in search of a; light weight, CHEAP, rear wheel drive car, that I could some how turn into the ultimate "DR1ftP1g" on Ebay i found this car A nissan 'GAZELLE', I had never heard of one, let alone seen one... but it fitted my criteria in every way after basically purchasing it blind, I organised a temperary permit, so i could drive it home and get it up to scratch for a rwc and get it registered with 20+ year old shagged out shocks, springs that you could compress by shouting at them and brakes that worked when they felt like it... this car was surely going to kill me Who was I kiding, this car was so gutless.. it struggled to forward and backwars... let alone sideways! This car was going to need a new powerplant! on very limited funds at the time, and limited knowledge and tools i couldnt afford to fork out for these improvements straight away, but i had to make improvements some how the first modifications came several months after i had bought the car, still bleeding from vicroads tearing me a new 'one' for rego and inspections costs (more then what i paid for the f***ing car!!!) The first modifications were suspension and braking upgrades including; Front * S13 lower control arms * Cusco fully adjustable w/ camber top Coilovers * 180sx Hubs, calipers and disks * R31 castor rods (for extra castor) Rear * ford falcon lowered heavy duty shocks * Chopped std. springs (temp solution) the car is now dropped on its guts, heaps more track and handling like a gokart, not to mention stopping on a dime! although great fun, the car is still yet from what I envisaged... a better engine is a must! I had been on a few classic celica cruises when i was younger, and was amazed how neally every single old skool celica that came to the event had some sort of different engine packed in, virtually none were the same, the originallity really gave me some inspiration, however i had no idea what i was getting myself into during the beginning of my gazelle "drift" build-up I attended an AE86 cruise with a good mate (and if he reads this, might get annoyed with me.. meh) but i was soo dissapointed and unimpressed to see all these AE86's with the same engine conversion... all of them had done the almighty rare conversion of 4AC > 4AGE .... OMG how original.. i bet they all thought they were genius's when they performed this conversion.. i mean who would have thoguht that such an engine would fit... let alone come as standard equiptment in japan *face palm* so after learning that the popular swap of ca18det or sr20det into the gazelle was easy and common place.. i thought to myself... F*** that .. i wanna do something different A trip to the local wreckers and a short wait for my half cut to arrive from japan left me with this ... had i bitten off more then i could chew? as this engine conversion had only been performed twice that anyone knew of, and was not documented at all at the time you're probably sick of reading this novel, so i'll just fill the rest with pics of the build up until the current state of the project.. its pretty much finished unfortunatly i to this date am still yet to drift the car... but with other projects on my horizon, i feel it is time to part with this if anyone is interested, this car is for sale on expression of interest! pics.... And this is where the magic happens

yeah paul, r32's do have consult port unless your wiring has been totally messed with... it will be under the dash on the drivers side... not near the ecu usually next to the fuse panel or as i said above, floating around above it... can be hard to find, but should be there!

i did the same thing... both my skyline and gazelle have rego due at the same time... and i acidentally paid the gazlle rego (project car) rather then my daily (skyline) they pulled me over, (rego was 10 hours overdue... ) and being my birthday haha and a white lie saying i'd b-payed it, which takes a while saw me get off the hook but unlucky.... huge fine

usually located next to the fuse panel under the steering wheel on the right hand side... however the clip that holds them in place isnt very good, and the consult port can usually be found floating around somewhere up under the drivers side foot well

already.... shotgun'd it

i wouldnt remove the turbo... i would remove the entire engine... and get an rb25de from an r32, you wont hate life AS much as you would if you just removed the turbo off the rb20det
