Uninstall gauge, low oil pressure worries be gone... Is it possibly something simple like the pickup is partly sucking air? -
R32 Gtr Long Term Love, Now Project

Stalking your stuff as youre doing a super nice rebuild. I saw the part above, have you looked at doing the braided wire wrap that you can slip over the top of an already made loom? Looks super neat, and available in a HEAP of sizes. Would look way nicer than retaped, but wont look factory. -
So negative...

Make a random ass list on a piece of cardboard with a permanent marker...

I see what looks like oil, i dont expect oil in there, id expect grease, right? (Ive never pulled apart a sealed bearing, only ever "normal" ones that are packed with grease.) Is it a brake line dropping oil from anywhere on it?

Nice, i like the look of their events, likely see you at one one day, ha ha. Yeah, heaps and heaps to do. I used to have a list, and it was huge. Then i realised i was missi g 75% of the stuff i had to do as to videoing, i had given up on it, so car is further along than the videos show. I didnt have the patience to keep moving cameras, and then editting. since the vids, motor has been in and out, mounts rebuilt, exhaust ive built, i just havent fully welded it, just in case i move the motor again, ha ha. Ill probably rebuild the gearbox mount, maybe. Ha ha. Full engine loom has been modded, currently retaining the ford fuse box. Whole car had no wiring in it when i started this again. All rear end wiring was cleaned out, fixed up, and its working again. If i connect all the ground wire points, and run the heavy cable to the starter and alternator, in theory wiring is "working". Still some shortening of wires, and probably change how part of the engine loom routes and a rewrap of it until im.happy on its wiring. Have also had the rear cradle out, tank was out, fully cleaned the tank out, rear cradle back in, both front hubs replaced (second hand parts). Still need to do the radiator/cooling system, inlet piping, connect all PS lines up, do the auxilary belt changes i need, rebuild the brakes, replace shocks and springs, reattach radiator support upper piece, make new reo bar, do all the wiring for lights and cabin switches for those. Then mount the bucket seats, harnesses, finalise the dash set how i want (including doing digital dashboard, working out what i want to do with it). Oh and build the tailshaft. Hopefully by then, itll be done, and i can take it out and break it straight away

Which company are you joining? Ive avoided the last few years really looking at too much stuff, but have seen Skid Control around. They look to run a couple of events of interest. Ill have to check out Gold Rush hill climb, the name sounds cool my trouble is still mainly time to finish the car. hopefully by end of feb ill have wiring all tested out, and fuel lines ran, so i can test fire the engine. Then it will be back to completely fix the wiring how I want it, and then do all the other fifty million jobs. Including possibly pulling the engine again to move its position slightly...

Sell the children? To speed savings, just give them away for free...

Possible! Depending on the events, ha ha. Plan is some motorkhana style stuff, possibly hill climbs, and the rare track day. (Budget is limited for the more expensive fun )

Life and mortgage allow a small car budget! Funnily enough, it only costs $3 extra a week for us to own, vs rent... and we were renting a tiny crab shack, especially compared to this place! the hardest item to budget is time! I love the new job, i often find working later than I should, as well as doing uni part time, and life with the four legged fluffy children

Im in SEQ now. Been in SEQ for about 5 years.

What is happening is it moved back in with me. Weve been separated for 5 years, though some work was being done, up until i quit work last year, and then the workshop it was in got sold, so she'd been hiding elsewhere. Our house settled Friday afternoon, so i got her home Saturday (today)!

No need for shed skids. Theres enough of a concrete pad to hold a summernats burnout comp... Also need to make it start before it can skid, ha ha ha
-
I started doing this about 2 years ago, the videoing. I gave up, i hate editting videos. But also havent been able to touch my car all last year house settled yesterday, car is already here good to see Dan getting interesting parts and putting things together!

If it fouls on anything when refitting with the gearbox, just bash a dent in it with a hammer. But seriously, fabricate with the gearbox in also. It will help show you what room you've got further down to fit things where, as well as allow you to fabricate mounts that might attach to the gearbox etc.

Duncan's Race Car - The Most Overdue Build Thread On Sau
MBS206 replied to Duncan's topic in Motorsport Builds
Unfortunately most of us are not gifted with high enough garages to fit a hoist in. Unfortunately my Skyline is no longer on a hoist, as my mate is selling his house. Car is currently at another friends house until my garage is re-arranged. These looked like an interesting way to lift the car up a lot higher than normal (I was spoilt by having hoist access ) I'm wondering how much extra use I'd really get compared to just four jack stands. I think most of my under car work is finished (Just need to redo the fuel tank lines, install tail shaft, and drop the exhaust off again to fully weld it once I'm happy with how everything is sitting. Maybe I just go with leaving it on car stands? The extra height of having the car up is nice when leaning into engine bays, and inside the cabin and boot. -
Duncan's Race Car - The Most Overdue Build Thread On Sau
MBS206 replied to Duncan's topic in Motorsport Builds
Duncan, do you have more info on the QuickJack? Where did you get it from, and do you have pics of it WITHOUT the car sitting on it? From your under car pics, clearance looks good for being in the middle, BUT, is there any supports going left to right to join each section? -
It's QLD, SAU QLD is basically dead. Has been for a long time.

I want to know how you have acquired this skill. Do you not do any work or something?
