cheers chris.

camera on my phone is fairly average quality.

[works 510]

have to space the swaybar down 10mm to clear the sump,

trimmed the bonnet bracing and some minor engine mount mods but the bonnet can be closed!

R34 or a remote master cyl setup still needed to clear plenum.

Slowly getting there.

[Nic_A31]

Did you space the swaybar already?

Easy, just put another bush on either side.

Coming along nicely.

Nah havent done it yet,

my mates on arvo shift this week (car is stored there) so cant access it.

Gives me time to work on the 180sx though.

brought another set of skidders too, 17x9 +20 work equips

[works 510]

f**k me,

since I last took these pics, Ive done sweet f**k all.

Soo hard to access the ceff, going to the US in a couple weeks for a car/car parts buying trip, after that, bringing it home.

As it has to sit on the naturestrip (im dreading this) i'll fit some stock wheels amd full the steerer and gauges out of it.

Now with a cracked front screen.

Due to the shit conditions (mates kids, and one of his dogs that likes to sleep on my car)

Pritty pissed off.

Not much of a update,

Finally back from the good ol USA, picked up a few bits for the shitbox while I was there.

Needed new gauges, brought some autometer "golden oldies" style gauges.

Being a rat/ hot rod/ sled lover, couldnt resist.

12" thermo fans, 2 of.

and some -10 fittings for my oil cooler.

Currently starting to be overgrown in a mates backyard due to the rain melb has been getting, its a sad sight.

Bringing it home soon to do the cooler piping.

Suggestions on what material?

Keep in mind I can weld mild steel and stainless, DIY is gooooood.

[toffy]

just buy a r32/r33 cooler piping kit , aluminium is where it's at

[Kris..]

yeh just buy a cheap piping kit from hypergear or something only needs minor mods to fit

[works 510]

problem with that is I have a high mount and a front facing plenum with a q45 TB, so most of that piping will need work.

And most of the generic piping kits are 2.5, cant get a silicone hose that will go 2.5inch to a massive throttle body :S

[Kris..]

spewn, get it down to Headtech in altona theyll do it for ya, if you wana see there work go look at Toli's car

[works 510]

Abit of progress this week,

Although its a 40odd minute drive to get to the car, ive been enjoying the working conditions.

(no dog, no kids and a carport to work under!)

cooler piping is mocked up, just need to take it some where to get tig'ed up.

Initially I started to do it from stainless, the intake side come up a treat, but the turbo side required tight bends, so a mixture of cast and mendrel bent alloy was used.

Pic shows what it will look like, used a existing hole so its neatish, and will give me a heap of room for the airbox i'll start making when the cooler pipe is all welded up and bolted in.

Airbox will also cover up some of that wiring, which is a good thing.

Will also be fitting a oil catch can in the same area, basically mounted against the side of the radiator.

Wired in 2 12" thermo fans, brought these in the US, 55mm odd thickness, $52 each from memory.

Ran the wiring for them along the sides of the radiator for neatness.

Started to relocate the battery to the boot, just waiting on a battery now so i can finish it off.

Also started to wire the new gauges in, removing the old birds nest took some time, need that battery to sort out power sources to power the gauges.

here what they look like, 'oil temp' wasnt available in this style, so opted for 2x water temps.

Most of the big stuff to get it running is done, just ip to the small time consuming 'custom' stuff, wiring extensions, genrally just cleaning the bay up and mounting parts properly for a change.

Also got a longer throttle cable today!

random pic of my latest "investment" that will land hopefully early january.

Need to do a service and carb rebuild on it before I sell it.

Want a car or motorbike shipping from LA to Aus? Inquire within, I do good rates

Thats about it, look out for more updates, the closer it gets, the more pumped I amto work on it.

Goal: tuned by early Feb.
