  1. Picked up boot lid yesterday from a mates place who gave it a quick lick of black. At this stage im not sure weahter to keep it black or wrap in in CF vinyl like last time. I think as this stage ill leave it black and get all the holes for spoiler drilled in and then decide what to do. Also picked up a new catch can setup that arrived yesterday. Its a 2L tank, think it may be too big to fit in the bay with that sized breather on top
  2. Morning all. Another day at work
  3. All good. Went to Metallon today to get new brackets made up. They've estimated 5 working days till I have them back
  4. Scott Approves!
  5. New bootlid has just been painted this morning. Will be going to a fabricator this afternoon to discuss mounting brackets
  6. Noel is awesome. If he doesnt have the part he generally knows someone who does. I mentioned to him that i was chasing a GT wing. Within 3 days he had sourced me one and I was at his place collecting it. Words cant describe how much of a good bloke he is. No billet gears in the pump for me either. Just seems like ive gotten away with one for now. Time will tell the purple does look good
  7. Morning all. Back at work for another week. Not an overly large amount of car work was completed over my weekend due to other things. But build thread is updated so check it out!
  8. Over the week or so I've also offloaded my drag wing. As much as I love this thing, I think its time for a change. Change is as good as a holiday they say. Drag wing in all its glory I've now started prep on a new bootlid and spoiler combo. It seems GT Wings are coming back and I feel like jumping on the rice wagon. Plans are to have it made so i have the option to take it off when i dont feel link running it etc. Here is the bootld i picked up for $30, quite a steal. It was shaved but had a few pant cracks in it. Ended up sanding it back and noticed its got about 4 layers of paint and primer on it. Also popped in to see Noel who sourced me a spoiler for my needs. Carbon Fibre for all the coolness. Im looking at making larger stands for it to sit higher, along with some customer end wing blades to give it a bigger look. All in all for a second hand CF wing its in really good nick and was well priced. Also Spoiler Selfie Time!
  9. Been a pretty quiet week on the car front. Have been too busy with other stuff to make any real progress on it. I did manage on Monday to pop down to PLR to check out how the motor strip is going. It was good to have a chance to look inside it whilst everything was apart. Initial reactions from the builders is there isnt anything jumping out at them that would be causing the smoke issue. We did ascertain however that one of the rivets in the gasket wasnt sitting flush or drilled out. Due to this the gasket never sealed properly and would be the cause of the head lift. there has been a mark on both the block and head due to this. It was also found that the car was still running on the standard oil pump and no crank collar done. Makes me wonder how i didnt blow it up. In regards to purchases. I picked up some RB26 covers to go on the car. Always wanted a set and never really found some for the right price. Covers need some paint but thats about it. I think I will paint the covers a nice blue. I was originally going to go red, however my painter mate has some left over blue so thats a cheap alternative for now. Probably something similar to this Though I do like this purple I also attended a local happy laps event on Saturday is my mates leb spec VL. Fresh rebuilt, interior & paint. Was a top morning and there was plenty of Zzzztutututututu to be had.
  10. Mine in current form
  11. I feel your pain about disposable income. I had to get a second job to feed the addiction
  12. was going to say, pretty sure Ants just did a full detail and replacement of his 32GTR spoiler. Cleaned it all up and replaced bolts and gaskets etc. There should be part numbers etc in his build thread. If not just PM him I'm sure being the numbers man he is, he will remember.
  13. Morning Ants. How goes the Ant Eater?
  14. Thanks Neville! Im just happy that I've finally begun resurrecting this thing. My love for this car has definitely been low since it broke back in April/May
  15. First up they're going to strip it down and inspect it to see whats needed. Main issues are Head Lifting & Blowing a lot of smoke So Im pretty much just waiting to hear back from them about it really. I have a feeling it may be stem seals after talking to a fair few people and also got some oil build up in one of the chambers on the hot side. Also i will be getting rb26 studs thrown in so will have to get the head and block bored out to suit. Hopefully they call this week.
  16. Unbolted the box while it was all in the car. then used a jack to hold up the gearbox.
  17. Also comment on it mike
  18. BUILD THREAD REVIVAL! Its safe to say this thread has gone to shit and has dried up as quickly as the dispensable income it eats! After many months of having whats essentially a broken car, I finally decided to get stuck into fixing it. Ive got a mate who is good at pulling out and putting engines in which was handy, personally not something I've ever done before so it was a good learning curve and was good to watch/help someone who knew exactly what they were doing First off I cleared out some room in the shed to work next step was bonnet off to get in there better Then we got stuck in and stated pulling everything off and unscrewing it all Was to borrow a crane from a mate who at the vital time disappeared off the face of the earth. SO we had to stop for the day, source a new crane and attack it again the next day. Back at it yesterday and got the donk out and started stripping it back to bare long motor for transport to engine builders http://s1286.photobucket.com/user/scotty6588/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20141021_132921_zpssopluxkx.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0 Loaded it up in the ute and strapped it in and away I went Despite the great lean the motor has in the above picture, motor was actually quite secure and didnt budge at all for the drive. Whilst the motor is out it will give me a good chance to attack the engine bay and get rid of some unneeded items and also do a general clean and tidy up.
  19. confirmed. Motor is out and no longer in my possession
  20. Morning all. Might finally update my build thread today
  21. Will you take a meat pie, choc milk & a reach around?
  22. Evening all. Afternoon at work is going slow. Trying to avoid buying pointless car parts
  23. Theres people out here. just feels slow. Probably cause Im tired after a big shift yesterday
