Stuart, more rice for the whale! Need an idea on where to fit the sender though. Thoughts?

:D

nothing rice about using good quality American gauges.

I fail to see why a gauge requires the need for an "opening and closing ceremony"....its not the bloody olympics!

the thermostat housing is on the side of engine underneith intake manifold, so it wont be going there, besides it has to go before the thermostat, not after. id say just swap it out with standard guage sender, as it would be gay to run two temp guages, full auto salon temp tacho style.

Top Hose with one of those adapter thingos......or just tap the thermostat housing

No updates in more than a month. Goes in for a tune on Saturday and will post results.

Dropped the oil filters yesterday and found stuff-all of any interest. That was pretty positive. Also discovered the best thing NOT to wear when working on a car is jewelery/watch.

I had the fuse cover off the fuse/relay box on the driver's side and was tightening the main oil filter line up when my watch touched both the positive terminal on the battery and the throttle body. Trouble was, my hand was stuck (I had put some effort into wedging it in there to get to the fittings) and it took several goes and lots of swearing to get it out. All the while big sparks were flying and my arm was burning.

I tore my watch off only to realise that the back of it was burning my other hand so i threw it on the ground and went to run cold water on my wrist. It looked okay till about 20 mins later.

You need to get onto him and chase it, mate. I'm happy to pick it up and send it up to you though.

The boss bought some tyres from Ozzy (that your mate referred him to) so there was no money to be made on them. :(

Even worse, they didn't fit on the front end so he bought two sets! :)

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By thatjawncrazy · Posted

      don't know anyone in this thread, but i just found it, read the entire thing in a few hours, realized greg is still posting progress, and just have to say, this is awesome. it looks awesome. 100% right about the Uras kit making it a pain to get on hoists...have the same kit on my 34 and it takes six 2x4s and race ramps to do it without taking parts off. this reminds me exactly of this thread. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/build-projects-and-project-cars/r63-amg-the-unicorn-of-my-destruction/110824/page8/

      Fixing exhaust position?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The only way to make that better is to weld on some bozozoku tips up past window height and roll with the cool kids.

      Fixing exhaust position?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'd want an even MORE side on view. More or less you want to make sure the outlet is actually square with the outermost part of the bumper. Or you end up getting soot all over your bumper from your hektik exhaust. In any case, it looks pretty close. I think the way to fix this is probably more of an overhaul at an exhaust specialty shop if you want tips that are rounded off or sit nicely with the bumper but have proper clearance and don't move - Probably more of a redesign than a quick fix. I've pencilled in my own exhaust with its own various problems, pinholes, PITA fitment, and other issues and can see myself going to a shop and saying "JUST DO THIS BUT BETTER?"  Which is gonna work better than any more small fixes. I'm gonna chime in here officially with "from an outsider perspective this exhaust looks fine so this is self OCD probably" (which I also suffer from)
