i agree.. needs way more sideways shots.. itching to drive her. SAU track day coming up then tas so heres hoping!

some more pics.. Trailed fitted my old sideskirts and decided no f**king way am i running that mad automotive junk anymore.. plus they look silly with the front bar. so got some Origin aggressive skirts. they suit it a bit better thats for sure!

then i got stuck into my car trailer.. i had a frame and tyre rack that was high up and plans to sheet it up. but i was never happy with having the rack so high up.. chews fuel on long trips when its fully loaded. So i chopped the frame up and mounted it low with a wind deflector that will get sheeted so the front end still gets protected a bit and should save fuel.

clutch issue and "rear Main seal" leak issue sorted.

clutch was a bent puck on the disk.. pulled it out and couldn't see a thing wrong with it until i noticed that one of pucks had an unusual wear pattern on it.. laid it on its side and sure enough it was bent a bit. most likely a result of being posted to be in an air bag via express post.... bent it straight in the vice and eye checked it.

the oil leak wasnt actually the rear main at all... so i was happy about that. it was the rear corner of the sump. for some reason it wasnt sealing well enough. didnt have much choice here since a sump off job is such a pain in the arse.. so i cleaned it up externally washed it with thinners and lathered it up with sikaflex... heres hoping!

spent this arvo mounting the MSD coils, wiring up the ignitor module, wiring the coils and cutting and crimping the MSD leads. all in all its time consuming work. i was fair stoked when it fired over first crank. the spark it produces is much stronger then anything ive seen from a splitfire or nissan coil.

just visually comparing the spark difference its huge.. before with normal coil packs firing the spark was a bit ho hum.. now with MSD's you can hold a lead 20cm away from the chassis and it will jump the gap no worries... huge spark!

    • I buy my wheel cleaner in 4 litre bottles now. Euro brakes are brutal
    • Sounds like it may all just be some baseless outrage stoked by the carexplore guy? As in the linked social media outrage on facebook just goes back to carexplore as a source again. Further shown by the council response that nothing actually has changed: "The Private Land Use Permit has been part of the Casey Community Local Law for a number of years. It's important to clarify that this permit is not new, and no changes have been made to the permit or the Local Law in relation to the permit." The full council response in Prank's link sounds reasonable to me. Saying that as someone who neither lives there nor has a front yard to call their own  
    • Clutch hydraulics are also all good, looks like a brand new slave cylinder and everything bled up well. No idea what the actual clutch is, and I don't intend to pull the box off on the floor to find out, so unless we have trouble on the dyno or at shakedown that will remain a mystery for the new owner
    • Front brakes are G4 8 pot calipers over 330mm discs with braided lines. Everything looks good, pretty sure these are off my old 350. Pads are brand new and judging from gold colour are Winmax which is what I also run on my race car, Neil and I both sourced brake stuff from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney who really knows his stuff Everything has bled up nicely with all new Motul RBF600 fluid, there were 2 loose hard line connections and the calipers were new on the car so I ended up doing it 3 times but it is perfect now
    • So, starting with the rear brakes. They look like standard R33 GTST, and will need new pads shortly (less than 5mm material, probably only 1 day left). The slotted discs (probably DBA) are near new at 18.01mm and the lines are braided
