Thanks josh.

ive been away from a computer for the past two weeks because i have been driving this thing flat out!

loving it to bits!

made some small progress.

monday came and i had to go and pickup some lunch for dad.

park the car and hop out, go inside order the food, as im collecting my food, i hear a bang, turn around to see a f**kING TRUCK IN MY FRONT END!

run outside, dude was pulling a youi, saw some big angry arab guy run out of a kebab shop and pretty much got outa there as fast as he could.

got his plates, made a police report that day and then filed a claim.

panel shop said the following needs replacing, Bonnet, grille, bumper + nostrils, driver side indicator and head light and some other little bits and pieces.

damage isnt that bad in pictures but here they are anyway

lucky i am insured.

so front end respray is pretty much done, so just have to fork out to do the rear end at the same time, guards will also receive a light skimming as well as cutting the inner guards for more clearance

future plans.

at the moment im saving money to have my motor built.

gonna use the same builder as tony.

forged bottom end

rods, pistons, machined crank and block

light head work and bigger springs

N1 pumps

gonna ditch the group as and probably go something bigger.

ill be having a chat on saturday with him to work it all out.

as for wheels, well, a friend and i have found some cheap TE37Vs so. 17X9.5+20 fronts, 17X10.5+17 Rears ;)

i dunno man, been having a bad run.

damaged my septum on monday, lower part of my nose. almost broke it and smashed the front row of my teeth out...

not sure if going to respray entire car at extra cost. or f**king with me

Haha nah, hes a friend of mine.

Msgd him how the assesing went.

He replied "I just f**ked him in the ass"

Lmao

Picking up some very good condition interior parts on thursday which is a big win.

Full boot trim, all 4 door trims for $150!

Full boot trim, all 4 door trims for $150!

get farked!!!

I can not find any over this way, am thinking of remaking mine. I have a plastic fabricator next to my new shed that i'm gona hit up.

  • 2 weeks later...

yep haha, has holes for tweeters which i was going to do anyways
not many updates on the car.
its at the panel beaters, scored some panels for it cheap which will help alot.
shannons seem to have f**ked up the automatic redrawing so apparently i owe them about $400....
payments wont go through unless i call them and have them physically pull the cash out which is annoying.
anyways
thinking about mixing it up a bit
was going to sell the BBS but ill keep them and relip them to make them wider since the rear guards are going to be chopped out from the inside.
also tossing up between this extension on the GTR wing

    • You'd be better off digging a pit and standing under it to shoot it.
    • The easiest way would to be ignore the oscilloscope, grab a multimeter, and make sure all the main connections are right. An oscilloscope will give 99.9% of even technicians so much grief, as they have no idea what things should even look like on an oscilloscope. Which is also even more likely for someone who's first ever major work on a car is this If the battery volts are dropping down so low, the LDV will reboot the ECU, when it does so, it will drop out the start circuit. If this is occuring, the battery voltage should also come back up. Give it a few tests, even simple ones like when you're attempting to crank it, measure voltage from the engine block, to the negative terminal. You might find you've got really bad connections somewhere. My guess is the "new" motor has something like a shit starter motor, at which point, you can swap the starter motor from the old motor, to the new motor. Before I did any of the above though, I'd 100% confirm the battery in the vehicle. Most jumper packs are absolutely useless, especially if a battery has a bad cell for example. Also the new modern "jump packs" if you don't know what you're doing with them, you won't even get them into high current stage. So go back to basics, check the battery, especially with a known good one as a replacement test. Check ALL the wiring, this includes where they're bolted onto the battery, and bolted onto the starter motor. Check all the earth straps are on. Measure your resistances across your earth straps. A good check here is to measure voltage across the earth straps while you're trying to crank it. If you're seeing voltage, you've got high resistance joints! Oh, and once you've done the above, check the battery over again.
    • For most rotisseries, as Duncan has mentioned, you really don't want a full car on it, you want a stripped shell. And imagine how many more weeks THAT is going to add to working on the car...
