That's why I like your BBS rims Bill. That Snake Tongue Spoke design has alway been my Favourite.

Rims on the 33.

Ive been slack and done nothing, waiting for the good paint stripper to be in stock.

I have to strip it to bare metal, because the clear is peeling and you never know what exactly makes it peel.. so it has to be all removed or it will happen again.

I would like to sodablast but it will cost a few hundred for sure, and my aim is to keep the cost as low as possible but still do a proper job.

Shes all pulled apart, vynil gone, even got the doorhandles out.

Must fit brake air deflectors and radius rod braces tonight.

In the meantime im learning some tricks and techniques to make it quick, easy, cheap and good quality.

What i did to the interior bugs me, so i try not to think about it. ill take care of that later.

Well in the mail today I received 3 packages, 36mm socket, CV boot and my adjustable control arm bushes.

So today I finally got out the 2nd tie rod end (after 2 broken tie rod end splitter tools, hammering, ball joint forking and heating) and burnt out the old control arm bushes.

Hopefully tomorrow my new tie rod ends turn up and I have time to buy a tap and die set so I can get the control arms back in.

    • Welcome.  Glad to hear that you have gained some knowledge that has helped you. I believe the only fix for the power steer belt is an electric conversion with a Holden astra pump. If you get a chance, post pics of your car, please. 🙂
    • Just ordered those bosses, hopefully that does the trick thank you very much everyone for your replies it's really appreciated  
    • to have this type of adjustment possible with a curve as I wish, what budget (engine) should be planned?  
    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
