got all the body in primer today, modified the airbox for a bit more induction noise and took Dave the Mira for a lap around the block. It goes suprisingly well, better than i thought it would.

Wheelspin through first and then some slight grip issues when flat changing to second!

Got all the mirrors and windscreen panel repainted black, they turned out okay so i tried the rear bar. came up good i reckon.

Just don't know if it will stay that way.

also added some spare number plates from the shed, just for giggles

I'll have to get some vids soon. Motorkhana season doesn't start till feb 2012, and it'll be my first time out so we'll see.

I am taking it to work next week tho, where we have a huge carpark, might cut some laps and record some action.

oh, and it may be getting dynoed next week too, just for a laughthumbsup.gif

Took dave the Mira into work today for a wheel align, was a fair bit out after lowering it 3.5"

Just need to take it down to the dyno on tuesday and let it smoke the rollers! lol

So today was the big day! strapped the little Mira down to the dyno and reeled off some huge numbers.

Running slight advance in the timing, 95 octane fuel, hot air intake and oversize exhaust it made........

25.6kw!

what a beast, preety surprised to be honest, thought it would make less than 20kw

you can watch the video here, i'll do a youtube one later!

    • Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 馃槅
    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
