I know some of you people are already keeping an eye on the build of my Silvia, and it's been a while since I posted regularly on SAU, so thought it time to share with some more people in WA.

This car is what I've been building for coming on 3 yrs now since I wrote off my wine red R32 GT-R the day I'd finished tuning it (pics of the car). It's an S13 Silvia which has been taken back to a shell and started again from scratch - the highlights being a built SR20, wide body front and rear, brembo's, big rubber and full suspension fitout. The philosophy of 'factory special' has been carried throughout the build. Anyway, enough yapping, check out the blog for more info (there's a link to the build 'Plan' on the right column.

I have been watching your build for a close 6 months now. I love it. I wish I had the time and money to complete something of this scale.

Hahahaha, so do I mate! That's why it's taking so long :) Started in August 2004.

Thanks Paul, me neither. Will be sure to bring it on an SAU cruise so you can all see the result. It does have a few Skyline bits on it (brakes, diff, half shaft), so it should comply.

Cheers

I have seen this car in the flesh and the photos dont do it justice. Very nice car. Looks like you have the right people working on it based on the quality of it.

Keep it up, look forward to seeing it on the street!!!

Just read the lastest update today... love the plumback pipe from the bov...factory special alright. Good to see you finally traced down that N1 brake master cylinder. Good luck with having it 100% for autosalon... I haven't been in years but it's worth a ticket just to see sillbeer in the flesh. Have you got the plates yet?

Yeah dude, plates are waiting out at Welshpool. If the car isn't licensed in time, I'll just make up some myself...which I was looking at doing anyway - well the front at least as a sticker rather than plate to smooth the airflow around the front bar.

And many thanks for the kind words. Even if the car isn't finished, it will be there just the same.

are you allowed to have a sticker number plate here in WA?

my understanding was that you cant

The sticker number plate is only for the car show. If the car isnt registered on road and has no plates he cant drive it, so it will probably get there on a trailer or something.

makes me wanna sell my skyline :unsure:

I think that's one of the best compliments I've had to date. Well, I'm taking it as a compliment.

And apologies for the delay, have been meaning to make a post for a couple of weeks, but my nights are spent working on clients stuff rather than my own.

Cheers

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just note that when trying to find a short in a globe power supply, it is best to disconnect the globe as it will allow current through to earth. With it unplugged it is easier not to get confused. Also with the r32 wiring, the high beam has 2 power supplies (one when you push the switch forward and the other when you temporarily pull it back; so if it is the high beam blowing you will need to trace both circuits

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      That's a short. Find the short. It will be somewhere between that fuse and the headlight. Start by removing the plugs from the back of the headlight and dimmer switches, and measure resistance to earth. Supply side (power from the fuse) should have none. The other side should have resistance compatible with whatever globe(s) is there (which is relatively easy to say for a normal globe, perhaps not as easy to say for LEDs). Anyway, if you have very low resistance, you defo have a short. Then you just have to run the wiring like you're running the bowel of a dog (on the operating table) that has swallowed something it wasn't supposed to.

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By kevboost7 · Posted

      Hey guys, need help figuring out why my driver side (RH) fuse 15amp keeps blowing. The Driver Sides Headlamp is out, i replaced these a long time ago with LED ones that were working for 1-2 years. Now, the driver side light is out and i traced it back to a broken fuse. I replaced the 15 amp fuse in the engine bay and as soon as i flip the headlight on, it blows the new fuse. Any idea what's going on?
