lol nah, hoping to start it Friday and do some basic tuning in the industrial area with only a dump/front pipe :whistling:

Then it's going on the trailer Sunday morning to take it to another mates house to get the exhaust welded up :thumbsup:

And yeah, ASR sump is the goods, I got mine through Justjap.

That will be very abnoctious with just a front pipe, my 25 with stock turbo was very very load when I took it for a quick blast around duncraig with no exhaust, sick but

Yeah that's why I will trailer it to Padbury to get the exhaust finished :P

The problem is, I can't get it on the trailer with the catback attached and I don't want to wait till Sunday night before I start tuning her. It's all moot anyway unless I can get a throttle cable soon!

PM sent :)

Getting a new cable made up tomorrow, radiator top hose is sorted (butchered a spare bottom hose :laugh:), gotta get a bung for where the old thermoswitch went in the radiator (dunno where mine went :blink:). Need to make a bracket to hold the throttle cable and fix my oil pressure sender wiring.. need someone with small hands! I've already lost two nuts into the depths of the cross member :(

I had a spare hose here, i would have chucked it on the rad if i had known you'd need it. Who make the accelerator cables up? All the final small niggly bits always holds everything up

Nah I got a gtst and gtr top hose and neither fit due to the header tank thing, hacked up a spare bottom hose and it fit pretty nicely, will take pics of completed engine bay tomorrow :D

Flexible Drives are doing the cable.

i have long arms with small-ish hands.

And long fingers :whistling:

If I haven't managed to sort it by the time you knock off, wanna drop in on your way home and lend a hand?:laugh:

First day that i use the train and you want me to come round?

FYI My R32 is still at the dealer, didnt fixt the leak. Even more new parts on it now. May end up with an almost new car by the end.

    • 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
