  4. Good to hear mate! bring some membership stuff with you too.....
  5. I was always under the impression that the closer the BOV is to the throttle body on the cold side the more efficient it works, as it would release pressure from the point furthest away from the turbo... its not uncommon to have a piece of pipe running from one side of the engine bay to the other as a return, as coming from s15's that's how they were stock... my 2 cents tho...
  6. hahahaha, well waiting on a few things... new 8000k HID kit coming alloy intake pipe coming apexi pod coming led parkers coming front mount getting thursday hopefully new hoses for the bov return and the oil/air from the cam cover picked up new coolant, side indicator globes and motul auto trans fluid today. getting stuck into the making of the new mounts tomorrow for the thermo, trans cooler mount and bonnet latch brace. Also the stagea side indicator plugs are different to the r34 plugs, wired them in today. Spoke to the paint shop, they are ready for it once i get it driving... Hopefully have this thing back on the road ready for paint by mid next weekish... fingers crossed

  18. The next day after the sealer was dry i decided to fit up everything roughly to make sure no major adjustments needed to be done before i painted the sealed parts of the car The GTR reo fits perfect The gaurds are pumped as! Rough look with the lower lip this made me smile! but its going to be low as! Lots of room for the front mount to go in After admiring it for a while I started to mask up to paint Add some black gloss... Then had to leave it over night to dry So it brings me to today... Got home from work and pulled out all the newpaper and got to putting it back together... Condenser and radiator back in Worst setup to try and put hoses and clamps back on ever. Note the corrosion from when my old battery went bang, will be taking it out and getting it cleaned up and re painted with in the next week or so As the car sits now I have the overflow and the washer bottle back in. The rad and condenser all in and hooked up and the Bonnet and gaurds on and lined up. Hopefully tomorrow I get the rest of the thing back together. Things I still need are: New HID kit as the old on was interwoven into the loom and I dont want to use it. side indicator plugs make a little bracket to join the bonnet lock support and the cross beam coolant top up the trans fluid, thinking about changing its mounting position to possibly some fabrication work pick up my HDI intercooler, fit it get a pod filter make a custom cai box get an RB 26 convert it to manual win the lottery marry a super model who loves to cook and clean...
  19. Ok so here are more pics of the happenings of late, Jimmy and I started at about 0830 on sunday morning and finished up around 9ish... long ass day but got what we aimed to do done. Rad support in, welded, etch primed and sealed. Here we go again!!! So started where we had left off, removing the rad support from the rails and skirts of the old stagea. Instead of plug welding the nice person in japan decided it better to bead the whole damn thing! took a while but we got there without damaging the rad support at all. Once again its very good to have your best mate be a panel beater with the right tools! Even wearing leather gloves you can still hurt yourself, piece of the skirt sliced straight through to Jims finger Hence why I suggest having one of these around Left overs... Dry fit of the whole GTR rad support After a few minutes we figured out that we would have to use the cross beam from the original rad support and the top half of the GTR support, because the GTR one did not have holes to bolt up the tie bar from the suspension Dry fitting the condenser and the radiator Also you have to cut the original skirts back approx 15 - 20 mm so that the rad support sits right and the new headlights fit in. Note covering the fuel side with a damp towel Ended up having to cut more than in this pics all the way down the near the 10ml bolt is for the earth from the loom Then we used a self tapping screw either side of the new rad support to hold it in place while we check the fitment, this was about the time i started to get excited So we got to testing or welding and setting up the machine on the left over bits of the donor car, I dont recommend using a gas less welder they leave way to much flux around the weld Big clamps... the join So the welding begins... drilled 4 new holes to plug weld the corners to the side panles Etch primed and now sealing, use a brush with short hair for the best result, applying the sealer with a corking gun and so we called it a night!
  20. yeah mate just the plugs would be awesome... if only you had this up 3 days ago i would have taken the rad support too
  21. do you have the side indicators and plugs with globes or just the plugs that fit the side indicators?
  22. anyone who does this remember that you need to put the plug for the thermo fan through the front of the radiator support next to the condensor pipes.... not hanging out the back near the power steering res..... ahhhhh FML!
