hey all

long time no chat!!

as some of you may or may not know, i used to make aluminium airboxes, heres the original thread.

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...ic=75876&st=100

as some of you may or may not know, i stopped making them due to lack of energy involved.. i spent all my free time on them and being a mechanic at a busy dealership during the day, i just didnt have the energy to get them done... and then i moved house, now im set up in the new house and have changed from being a mechanic and am now in spare parts, which is cruisy and less stressful.

ive been talking to some people and am going to get the boxes cut a sheet metal fabrication shop, that was the hardest part, cuttin them out neat.. with them pre cut, all i have to do is bend, put together, and polish and also mean i can do more boxes for more people and more cars.

im trying to find out about anodizing, i was goin to do it myself but its a lot of work and need alot of room. so if i can find mob that do it, they boxes will be available in anodized colours, which will look sick.

bare with me all, things are under way and will be better than before.

thanks to all the people who have supported me and sorry to those who have sent pms which have takin me ages to reply to, i havent been on this site for a while, now i have the energy, im having a red hot go at making this work.

cheers

Linton

    • Just a follow-up on this topic. From what I can tell so far the rusty residue on the engine block might be unrelated to a coolant leak or maybe just older than anticipated. After driving it from the winter garage to my friend's garage I could not see any new traces of coolant leaking there, but I will test this properly once I was able to fully warm up the car and drive it for a bit. I think I can agree that the whole porous engine block stuff is kind of nonsense, but there is just a silly amount of true, false and half-true information on anything Skyline-related on the internet.
    • hrmmm , not mine , easter plans to pull engine not happening     
    • I removed the IACV, cleaned it and reinstalled.  I found a video on youtube that helped with the whole process, the guy then said the idle needed to be set, so the process was to get the vehicle up to operating temperature, unplug the TPS, set the idle screw in the IACV so the RPMs were around 600, then plug the TPS back in.  After I reinstalled the IACV, the car started (because, it was a cold start), once it warmed up, the car died, I adjusted the idle screw to see if that helped anything, it did not, I had to wait about 3-5 minutes, then the car would start back up. Only to shortly cut out, and only crank.  I loosened the TPS to see if adjusting that would do anything, and when I would rotate the sensor clockwise, there was a humming noise, but it would go away when I got the sensor in the horizontal position.  It only made the hum noise with the key on.  What do you guys think? 20250414_172604.mp4
    • Quick update.  The engine grounding strap was replaced, the engine is now happily running.  Tested the voltage drop before replacing the strap, was about 1.2ish volts down between engine to battery, chassis to battery. With the new grounding strap, pretty much no voltage drop at all.
