no, turbo will be from Hypergear (TR43 - G2 trim) thinking an intake manifold/fuel rail from CPC and ecu from nistune. Rest of the setup is what i got lying around, intercooler piping will need to be sent out and made. I'll make my exhaust myself

True. I might ebay spec mine if I get the urge later on.

What pisses me off is that Jessica Watson chick, why do I have to pay my good hard earned money for her welcoming party? Imagine how many police, security guards, portaloos, etc were hired for the event. I'm going to work out how much it personally will cost me and withhold it.

But right now I have Becks and the people at liquorland must have left it in the sun for too long, it tastes flat -_-

Everyone is getting upset over this Jessica Watson chick I don't get it? I think it's pretty awesome what she did props to her. I only found out today who she was lol I was hoping it would be Emma Watsons hot younger sister but apparently not.

Fail

Anyone have any advice for getting seized bolts off calipers/wheel hubs? I've used every f**king socket and breaker bar I have + gone and bought new shit and still can't get the f**kers off... used heaps of the degreasing shit that has worked for me before, it gets in and breaks up the gunk. But not on either of these 2 bolts on my LF brake caliper. Gonna stab a kitten soon if I can't get it off.

Orrrrrr anyone wanna lend me a compressor + air tool kit? :):(

I'd use a hammer tbh. Big one.

Hmmmm it's crazy, I've used hammers on spanners/sockets/breaker bars.

I've tried the old jump up and down relentlessly on breaker bar. All that did was move the car, even with the wheels chocked and handbrake blah blah blah.

My best looking option other than a rattle gun is to get another caliper from a wrecker, and angle grind the bolt/caliper off lol. But I'm not terribly confident that it would work 100%, and I'm not sure I wanna risk damaging other parts in there (the disc etc)

You show me you ring spanner I'll show you mine :(

You sly dog, you know you don't have to ask :)

ravi i have air tools and cordless rattle gun

Dannnnnnnnnn that would be well sick if you'd wanna help a brother out... It seems you're the go-to guy for everyone hahahaha. How does the cordless rattle gun work? Is it essentially a cordless drill? Cause it would wanna have a whole shitload of torque behind it to get these f**kers undone...

Hahahaha hollllllly shit.

The wheel hub is 30mm, I have the socket for that on a ...... 1/2" connector I think.

The caliper is around about...14mm or something... I've got the socket as well on a 1/4" connector.

Is that of any use to you?

i'll have to bring my selection of sockets. Most likely will destroy standard sockets with this tool. PM your number. tomorrow arvo ok with you to do this? i'll be there around 5pm or so.

That rattle gun has nothing on my air powered one. It has a little over double that power

Yesssssss! Got the left front caliper off! Hahaha so that's one thing off the list.

Still need to replace both rear drum brakes and the stud on the front right... then it's everything I need to do.

Is there anything special about taking the hub off? Have a look at the pic, just socket on and rotate to undo? Or is there some kind of cap there that needs to come off first? I can't tell?

Dumb question - how does it remove? Pry the squashed bit up with a screw driver.... then what?

bring the two "split ends" together with screwdriver/pliers whatever (so it's straight again), then pull it out from the non split end

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Getting Dangerously close to being ready to go back in the car. Rockers in with clearance castings now (and a quick check with the USA for the torque settings for the larger custom bolts) Covers and ported FAST Manifold sitting on there. Not fully tightened down as there's some clearancing required for the water pump with the earlier LS1 water pump styles. Example of the clearancing needing to be done: The body has to be ground a little but I'm struggling finding an actual piece of it. The later variant of water pump resolves the issue as the manifold was designed around it. It only came on the VZ LS1 in Australia, it got a different pulley for Gen4 motors. (it also costs $450... vs... $0).

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      Doing some height adjustment on front suspension on a v35 and noticed this. The passenger side looks correct. So wondering what's happened to the drivers side?

      Oh...I have the electric mirrors as well iirc ...they're in the same state as just about every other R31 door mirrors, with the 3 plastic screw towers broken/cracked in the plastic molding. All the interior is 'dry', so the mirror switches etc likely all work fine. Some pics below of the trimmer pieces ~ looks to me like previous owner, painted chrome finished trims with black paint ...ergo, the chrome underneath is likely a-ok... ...starts to look yukky posting stuff like this, how much did it cost in fuel on your last sortie up this way?...me just thinking aloud, borrow someone else's 4cyl to cut costs, come do your own pick'n'pull like before to save me some bother...hehe.. but whatever, I'll just earmark bits I know you want, because the way this is all panning out, I'll be able to retire the R31 from daily duty at long last, replacing it with a Subaru wagon I'm lining up in the wings...ergo, my attitude towards the donor pinny shell is starting to wane a bit, and I'm more than happy to help you out there... Like you say though, no rush...and I'll guarantee we won't be moving too far from this locale at any rate 😎
