My C33 Laurel

[DannyC33]

So very productive weekend was had.

Just gotta few more plugs to plug in and extend. Bell housing bolts. Bolt power steer pump back up. And modify my cooler piping.

As can be seen here....

And this is my mates wife. She got bored and decided my clutch was to dirty.

She went on to clean the entire motor haha.

[RBC33]

Damn wish my missus would clean my motor

Progressing well but man, you gonna go through the battery tray area for the piping??

[Soundboyracer]

Red head. Aweyea

[DannyC33]

Haha the joys of havin mates ocd about things being shiny.

And yeah that for through the headlight hole. If ya know what I mean.

Also not redhead just coloured.

[DannyC33]

ok more updates

fuel system is all plumbed up

cooler piping sorted (still need to get a fitting welded in for the AIC)

a few other little bits and peices done here and there.

sold my work equip anhelos on thursday just gone.

very sad.

but decided itd be a better idea to have a matching set of 6 wheels.

so i plan on buying 6 XXR 531's in 17x9+25 all round

.

so i thought id better test fit a 9" wheel to the front.

this is a 17x9+38 with a 25mm bolt on spacer.

so i found a set of modded knuckles for sale... and couldnt say no to them

$250 for s14 knuckles.

lock increase and ackerman adjusted.

also ordered my wheels tonight. and according to the website ill have them in 5 days! from the usa!

[skyline32sup]

why would you buy xxrs lameeeeee

[DannyC33]

Why wouldn't I?

I like them, they were the sizes I wanted, I could get a matched set of 6 and most importantly its my car....

[DannyC33]

oh and they actually rocked up yesturday.

unfortunately its gonna be a while before i can get them fitted up as i was in a car accident on saturday just gone and my daily driver was written off.

so all my spare money i had aside for the laurel has gone to buy a new daily.

not happy. but hopefully the insurance company of the guy that hit me wont take to long to pay me.

[RBC33]

That sucks man. Didnt you buy this laurel after getting in an accident. You must out a target on your cars.

Hopefully they pay out fast. Insurance companies can be useless

[DannyC33]

yeah i did.

turns out i shouldnt own r31s. have written three off in not at fault accidents.

a mate came round yesturday and test fitted my modded knuckles for me.

gonna have to spend a bit of money gettin everythin to clear now. hits everywhere haha.

[RBC33]

What hits everywhere??

Should just cut lock stops thats it.

Though ive read may hit caster rods on lock or inner well. Hammer dat shit

[DannyC33]

.... havent got lock stops on my arms. currently hits the castor rod and the inner well at the back. haha. and arms are binding.\

turns out the knuckles ive bought are freakin insane also,

they actually run reverse ackerman by the looks of it.. and are extremely quick.

should be interesting. i predict a shit load of spins happening. haha

[RBC33]

Arms binding is normal for knuckles. You have to get the rack moved forwards or use those offset tie rod arms but apparently they are prone to breaking. As far as fouling, lower offset wheels or spacers

[DannyC33]

yeah, ill be running the offset rack spacers.

currently running 17x9+25 witha 25mm spacer

[RBC33]

Whaaaaat? And its still fouling on the inner well? That shit cray haha

[DannyC33]

im only running stock arms at the moment, thats probably got a fair bit to do with it id imagine. haha

its not actually hitting the inner well at the moment. i havent got tyres fitted to the XXRs yet. we just mounted one of them to see what i was likely to hit,

will be getting tyres fitted in the new year. at the moment im not even allowed to touch a car because of the bloody crash.

[DannyC33]

so im thinking about selling my recaro seats and upgrading to fixed backs.

either velo or sparco.

anyone keen on some recaros on genuine bride rails?
$800 or swaps

[Soundboyracer]

Keep those recaros. Very street able seat setup

[DannyC33]

i would but this is basically gonna be driven on the street maybe a couple times a year,

and after spending this year in the passenger seat of my mates 180 track car. i really want a pair of sparco seats.

i still found that on the track with the recaros i was having to brace myself on the centre console/door. admittedly I haven't installed my harness yet, but I figure someone else might as well put the road legal recaros to good use.
