How does a well maintained, Fresh (7000km) old Engine crapout in such a big way under normal driving conditions?

Scarey.

It will be interesting to find out just what's up.

Big single while its out ;)

NTY i like my twins.

TL;DR

I didn't run it much after hearing the knocking. Adrian just had a look at it seems to have gone after 5-10 minutes worth of running. Either way it will get towed in tomorrow. Incoming new Koyorad Radiator (Kyle, AC gear? =) i mentioned to Adrian you had some) and a few other bits and pieces. So it seems everything MIGHT be ok. But i won't hold my breath.

Fitted the drivers side control finally

I'm very excited to see no bodgy repairs done to the side. I have seen some build threads where they weren't so lucky.

It's amazing how much crud can build up under things.

Was very similar in under the rear bar of the Wagz.

Despite plenty of stuff I need to do to the 2 lines, today using some radiator hose, a hose clamp and the lid off a tin of corn, I made a plate for behind the steering wheel so the horn on the Wagz will work with the R34 wheel. (previous effort worked untill I turned the wheel) :laugh:

Haha engineering at its best :)

Its pretty filthy but cleaned of pretty easily, I'm going to get a pressure pack made up and touch it all up if the rain holds out next week, fingers crossed.

I got the passenger side off, the sikaflex was it better condition so it was a little more painful. I couldn't get the passenger side control arm on before the rain hit though :(

Capital Auto Paints in Fyshwick are Great for making up colour code matched Spraycans! I have and do recommend. :thumbsup:

It's always intrigued me that Skylines have a pair of Feeble, Anemic little horns.

I replaced the 33 horns ages ago to something a little beefier. (cheapo pair off Ebay) but still better.

It seems the R31 only has one little weak sauce horn!

Well not anymore! Hahaha... This arvo I wired in my old R33 pair, the original R31 and another I had spare.

Might still be Weak but now there's 4 of them! :laugh:

Thanks for that :)

I have always used the autobahn jobbies, but only ever got metallic. The first can was great, the nozzle sprayed beautifully, the second can (months and months later) was terrible. The colour was good but sprayed like white. I swapped the nozzels and then it was sweet.

    • I believe there was a similar one posted by @duggyphresh. They were re-routing their battery positive cable in the way I am also trying to achieve. Sorry, I’m new to this forum, so was a bit late to the party by a few months and so reignited the old thread, as I wanted to know how they got on with doing it.
    • Wasn't there a thread on this very subject just a few weeks ago?
    • Hi all! Looking to relocate the battery to the trunk of an R34 GTT. I want to do it using as many stock GTR components as I can (including the harness protectors from the 34 GTR that run underneath along the chassis to the engine bay). So far I’ve purchased the battery tray from a 33 GTR, as the captive weld nuts are already there just asking to be used. There is also the slight issue of now having to relocate the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU, which in GTT’s sits right above where the battery will then sit on the tray. Has anyone already achieved this, and if you have any pics that you wouldn’t mind sharing? It would be great to see how others have done it and where you put them, as there are countless holes in the parcel shelf panel to potentially use. Just trying to get some ideas bounced around, and to help uncover any potential problems I may encounter by  my choice of location. TIA for any help!
    • Brand was ard.   I also threw a brand new battery at it and beefed up the wire from the alternator to battery and added an extra earthing point from the battery 
    • Evening all,       I'm replacing some bolts on my RB25 with probolt Australia bolts.       Does anyone know the following, m5 m6 etc 10mm 20mm etc       Coil cover   Cam covers   Plazamaman fuel rail   Front cover (timing cover)   Etc   Any help would be awesome   Or any lists anywhere
