Cheers Jordan that's the bloke that i bought my bose door speak, door lock actuator and power window motor off :) Got it all for $200 express posted so i'm happy.

thanks for the heads up anyway, he bought that whole wreck for $2500 lol he'll part it out for that easy i reckon.

Made progress today. Amazing I know

After finally deciding I needed to get off my ass and start putting this engine together I stripped the block bare, cleaned all the oil gallerys out, cleaned all the journals and bores etc, cleaned the crank, Installed the oil jets, lubed the bores and deck, installed the crank and semi installed the main cradle. Also installed one of the plugs I had to install, the rear ones hard to get to and I was slack to do the restrictors lol

When I come home might even get it looking something like an engine

u must f**k around more then me callan when it comes to engine work haha i atleast do a whole bottom in 1 go :P

I can't even remember the last time your car moved under its own power :)

There was no rush on the engine around Christmas, and now work will hold me up till around the start of Feb

Will make big steps when I'm home next week anyway. Will see how far I get. after the pistons are in, the head is ready to bolt on, its all assembled and torqued up.

ordered my gearbox clutch and flywheel today, F*CK yeah finally. Spoke to deric today too at Clapson he's still keen to do the job, fingers crossed shipment only takes 5 days like the shop says it will in the US. Keeen.

Yeah nah it happened to a mate today he didn't know what to do lol told him to get all insurance info apparently the other person had no insurance so tough titties his car wasn't damaged at all being a ute and the back of her sedan had a big ding lol

I've had people not giving way correctly, not using roundabouts correctly and I think go through a red light doing the same thing as what you said Rob all beep/abuse/be gay

I hate people who sit and give way to me when they are stopping to do a reverse parrelel or angle park. No one knows this rule it seems. Car parking must always pull over and give way

    • Update: Tunehouse looked into the problem and identified a wiring issue between the camera unit and the connector. They managed to get it working , but did warn me at some point it will stop working again. From their perspective it is unserviceable and will need replacement. They did some research and found that the new replacement camera would be Approx $1400 supply only (their fitting cost would be $190) . They did provide the part number (28442-JL05B) and a quick google of the part number shows that these are rather expensive brand new (seemingly no longer in manufacture) for the places that still have them in stock, with the used option potentially presenting  the same issue down the track at some unknown point. They are happy for me to supply the part so that they can fit it. Decisions, decisions... I can definitely recommend Tunehouse (thankyou Vee37!). Cost for the diagnosis was as quoted  ($190) , car was ready on time and communication was top notch. Their workshop is super clean and modern, and there was plenty of car candy parked out the front on the day I went.   Would definitely go back.   
    • to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it 
    • For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
