I parked in the front yard last night and all was good untill I go out to the car at 6:45am to go to work...

3 hours later 1 foot of mud deep and the car almost sliding into the hole in the front yard. I called my wife home from work with a freind, a 4wD and tow rope :P

I was covered in mud and it looks like someone had a demolition derby in the front yard...

here are the pics for a laugh.

the bottom of the car was dragging on the mud

when we towed it out the wheels just slid not rolled

I nearly lost the car in the hole of doom

After being pissed off for an hour i had a laugh and went to work :mrt:

FEAR THE HOLE OF DOOM...

That's what you get for using your front yard as a skidpan Nic... if you just eased off for a while some grass might actually grow :mrt:

cops came over about an unrelated incident last night and had some puzzled looks and did the "look at the car" "look at the tyre marks" routine.

When the mud you've been driving through is acutally above the FMIC (and you've cleared it by hand after getting to point B) and marks are level with the top of the front bar, you know it's been raining for a while... :-)

(after about 15-20k's of 4 wheel 'sliding' in a '33 GTST......doh me for choosing an unsealed road.. again.....)

The saying 'She'll be right' really owes me, sometimes.......

      Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.

      gauge needle removal

      I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want.

      R33 GTST Axles

      Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.

      R34 Speedo not working after manual swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder

      Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
