No major updates on this really, for my cooler piping done, bought a pair of 16x8 +22 formula mesh for real cheap from a dude round the corner from my place.

Then taxback happened and stupidly I bought another pair of reverse mesh in 16x9 +25 and a bride zeta 3 to match my other one I Already had. both at good prices but money I didn't need to spend.

Zeta will be here in 2 weeks meshies in 2 months.

Guess I got no choice but to finish sanding and prepping the car for paint now and finishing the bay haha

Thanks man, nathan from fabulous fab is king of stainless piping. And yeah thats probably a hondalyf thing. Was planning on doing the whole car midnight purple but not keen on trying to spray a metallic colour for my first so just gonna try a gloss black.

Then got told we had to take 3 weeks holidays over christmas, so that sealed the deal for me to attempt my first spray job.

But before i could start i decided I'd order a guard roller off ebay being cheap at 80 bucks and give it a crack, wanting to do it before i sprayed so i avoided cracking of paint.

So guard started like this

And i ended up getting very carried away and went from rolling, to mashing my inner guard skin out with a hammer and just cranking on the roller to pump the guards. Not perfect, maybe borderline beginning to be verandah guards, but i'm happy with them. If i had bigger lower offset wheels i probably would of tried the magazine trick but f**k it. YOLO and shit.

Will get a shot up of my spray booth *cough* wedding marquee* and the car stripped back tomorrow,

So far the boot lid is off, rear lights and garnish and boot trims are out and the chrome surround from the rear window is out. Shall finish taking the chrome garnishs and door seals off tomorrow, then mask it up, fix the few rust spots below rear window and i'll start sanding this muuf**ka back in prep for primer.

    • 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.
