Bit more of an update. I'm working in Swan Hill for 10 days at a time so I've got limited time to work on the car. Still with help from my mate Matt Femino we're still making progress

Headlight moulds are coming along

My sexy Tein RS's have arrived as well. Happy that the spring rates are the same as my last set. Should have better bump and rebound adjustment now for a bit more fine tuning.

Thanks to Aaron from Import Monster with his help in getting these in from Japan.

I cleaned up the rest of the sound deadening and prepped it for the cage.

Loading up to go to Trackart to get the cage fitted.

I pick up the car this Friday so I'll be finishing the interior and cage painting.

I've still gotta replace the gearbox as the old one had synchro clips fall out of the drain hole when I did my last oil change. 4th gear synchro is no longer there lol.

Hopefully June 11th will be my next outing... lots to do!

11th June? Phillip Island. What are you are you doing with your REs?

Tampered day at winton.

RE's I'll be selling but only after the RS's have proven themselves.

Thanks Matt. I'll see you there mate

    • Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.
    • I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want. 
    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue. 
    • Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder
    • Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
