Piping came off yesterday.

Once I've had breakfast get to those annoying bolts on the turbo flange one or 2 of them have come loose.

Explains why car bogs down not enough air on boost being pushed through

Finally.....

The skylines been stranded there with a jammed wastegate for about 2 months.

Now i can roll it back onto level concrete and get under it.

Now im not using the garden shed as a workshop ill make a Kudos order on monday to get the other bits i need. Then the fun begins.

My poor old back needs a rest though.

>_<

Rims soon... If not today, defs before Sunday.

Have you got your Airbox yet? Gonna fit it up?

I washed mine yesterday morning but the Golfball sized beetle that hit my windscreen at 110km/hour kinda ruined the effect. :laugh:

Conditioning and charging the battery, its been sitting for so long, i hope its going to hold a charge properly.

Moved all the important stuff into the new garage, parts are coming, i can start serious work on the car soon.

Cant wait to get it back on the road.

Oh yeah

Thanks Richard :D

Sick! ShitBox Stealth Mode. :ninja: I must contribute towards this! Not cashed up just now though - soon. :D

Richard if you need to get ARC filters, get in touch with Andrew "kudos.motorsports" - give him the dimensions and he might have some on the shelf. (I got mine through him)

or

If you want K&N filters get on the K&N site and you can find appropriate filters by inputing dimensions! The one for to fit mine is for a BMW X6.

    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
    • Nah, I'm not an a-hole, ha ha!   I do like the colour match. Some of the carbon fibre wraps are quite freaking horrible. There's one a local company I know uses, and it looks damn good! Also very very expensive per metre to buy! ha ha ha It might be cheaper to respray the roof than use the good CF Wrap, ha ha!
    • Please noooooooo 😭 As for wrap, no thank you mate, I've seen and used "carbon fibre" wrap before, and for these hard tops, they look soooo good when colour matched Like this >>>
