Nothing to worry about skyline fuel pump has a nice sock on it so shouldn't drag rubbish up either

nick there is plenty of leeway between fuel light and empty my manual says there is 9ltr in the tank when the light comes on thats almost 100kms

i did the same at lukes house once due to parking on incline :nyaanyaa:

Its better then what my sister did!

She was driving me to school in her old 4cyl VH commodore (HAHA it was the funnist car, brown, stockies etc) when in the middle of an intersection at Golden Grove it ran out. She left me in the car while she walked home to get mum (had no credit on phone).

I was 14 in school uniform stuck in an intersection and RAA drive past and offered to tow me out of the intersection so I jumped in the drivers seat and got towed while everyone walking to school stood watch. Good times.

lol I remember picking my RX-2 up from the workshop with an extra 100bhp over when it went in, the problem was that it drank accordingly. I picked my new GF up for our first date, and the thing ran out as I was turning right on North East Road! Thankfully I was heading downhill, and there was a servo on the corner, so there I was pushing the thing across the intersection, with the GF refusing to get out the car and help lol. I should point out that GF is now the mother of my 3 kids :nyaanyaa:

Ok got a 10L jerry and the gauge just moved haha....

Got it in the shed, wired in SITC.

Drove to BP filled it up went for a quick drive to warm it up.

Go home check base timing with light. Bang on 15 deg. Wind in 5 deg advance on 800rpm on the SITC check timing and suprise theirs 20deg advaced. wind it 5 deg retard and their we have 10 deg advanced... So its all working :D sweeett

Now am going to source and fit a 3" dump/front pipe and get it to boostwerx for a SAFCII and SITC tune

    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
    • Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
