Just scored a power cable, earth cable. battery clamp, and some heater hose for the battery relocation off the old man, score!

All I need now is a battery, hopefully the bro can do some dodgeys through work and get me a brand newie this week.

Also cleaned fuel rail again, and fitted some cleaned stock injectors.

got the cooler piping welded up today, cost: a box of carlton dry.

Also just finishing of a custom autometer temp sendor mount for the top radiator hose, dodgey looking but it will work without destroying my orig omori temp sendor mount :)

well it runs, also ran before xmas haha.

currently running with rb25 ecu, rb25 inj and Afm just to sort out bugs, check for leaks etc.

drove it with no exh and shithouse wheel alignment, rb30 torque is good.

Tomorrow it gets the dump pipe mated back upto the rest of the system, piss the cat off, also get rid of the cannon in favour for straight 3" tip.

wanted to go to a 3.5" system with a single hotdog, bank account says no :(

Wheel align friday, then wait till the xmas/new years police blitz calms down and take it out to put some km's on the motor.

Still some more things needed, like anotther boost gauge as the current one hasnt got a big enough psi reading on it :devil:

Completed engine bay pic, still needs a wash.

drives good, seems reasonably responsive with the largeish turbo (thank you cubic capacity and a sensible exh housing size)

Currently have the exh manifold off and getting it copied (I was keen on doing it after helping with a mates steampipe sr20 manifold) but want the car running and tuned asap)

got a 30psi autometer boost gauge in it now, plus aqquired another bm44 master (3rd time lucky!)

night have reasonable brakes now.

Still have no indicators, dodgey taillights and a bad earth somewhere.

Oh the joys of fixing a worn out car.

ive got working hazzards though..

no indictors still and to be honest, i havent really tried to find the problem in the last couple of months.

Motorvation is a all time low, ive always loved tuff street cars, and in recent times in melbourne, its impossible to drive anything modified around.

Have to pull the timing covers to address a belt issue, top belt tensioner is maxxed out, so have to adjust the bottom.

Which is a pain in the ass, but still a better setup with the twincam rb30 conversion.

Also questioning the timing belt quality as there isnt a whole lot of performance options available.

See how I go, I guess.

Does drive nice though, 3litres, a turbo a tad smaller than a GT35r, means Ive got near standard response :wub:

LOL at toffy

why would we wreck it, only things to finish off are indicators and brake lights. take it to an auto elec to fix the indicator and get them to repin the brake light relay to a general/generic type relay (bosh etc)

and yes pimp slaps all round, and if i had an address i could even get round to it for... um.....a motivation push :whistling:

    • I have a radium fuel rail on my Greddy manifold and used the supplied radium fuel injector to manifold adapters (The round green things pictured). I did always wonder if you could just go ahead and use the second lower hole like you're doing... Wouldn't thicker o-rings solve your issue?    
    • From what I've seen and experienced first hand with those powder extinguishers, they're good to use to break a window and escape the car, and half the time then do f**k all to stop a fire. You just need much more than 1KG worth of powder. Not to mention, half the time it's an engine bay fire, and you can't easily, and do not want to completely open the bonnet, so you're left pretending to be an American Infantry... Spray and Pray baby!   And then 100% that shit is really destructive afterwards!   Realistically, those little ones at a race track might help you keep the fire from growing and give the fire marshal / truck a chance to actually get to you with their multiple large bottles.   For a road car, these days, prepare to deboard as quickly as humanly possible, and move to safety. Allow insurance to fix replace it (unless it's like a rare classic etc, then do nearly everything possible to save it!) Keep the little extinguisher with you to help protect other things around you from burning while you stand there singing "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"   Secondly, powder extinguishers I freaking hate for indoor use, (this isn't really relevant to a car) as you will get a powder fog around you, and it can be disorientating.   When I did fire training when at BlueScope Steel, they have (had?) their own fire brigade on site. We did all the training, and at the end we were told, "If it's an indoor fire, and you need to use a powder extinguisher, we as the fire brigade would rather you just exit the building, you're more likely to get lost in the smoke and powder fog than do much help, so just GTFO" And pretty much that was what they said for most other fires too, grab extinguisher, if it's much more than paper in a bin fire, use extinguisher to get you and others out of the building to safety...   Part of me wishes when my Skyline caught alight many moons ago, I let insurance sort it out, instead of putting the fire out... part of me now says "But I've saved a classic before it was a classic!"
    • Hi all,  I have a older model of the Greddy Front facing intake on an RB25DET NEO Head. I've bought aeroflows fuel rail and injector kit (1000cc Bosche injectors) and I'm unsure if the fitment is correct. The injector o-rings fit in the intake hole but it's not snug. I can very easily rotate the injectors even when the fuel rail is mounted. The kit also came with multiple adaptors, they dont make it any more snug and using them raises the injectors up and i cant mount the fuel rail. I hope this makes sense I've asses a few photos.    Thanks so much guys. 
    • So, to run the 4g aerials to the booster, I had to get access to the rear bulkhead....bit of a mission. Hot tip, don't offer to help change the rear shocks for a mate with a v37.... Remove seat base, 2 clips that slide forward to release it the it lifts straight out Fold down rear seat (pull in from boot) The side bolster of the rear seat is not connected to the middle parts that fold. To remove unbolt at the bottom bolt then push it up off the top hook Then there is a plastic surround behind the seat back, 2 pop out clips, 2 bastard clips, some swearing at it is out Pop the rear seat latch surround off Remove door surround lower trim then side trim  Remove c pillar trim - 4 clips, pull inwards not forwards Remove metal brace - 5 bolts 1 nut Then you have got to the rear strut top...what a pain!
