Sadface. I wish.

I hardly even drive my GTR on town roads. Spends more time @ Ultimate than it does @ my place.

Speaking of it's going back in next week or the week after. lul.

Spent all day on the VC

It's in pretty good condition

except no brakes :/

- Front callipers seized so got reco ones, rear wheel cylinders seized so got new, master brake cylinder cactus got new, pads worn so replaced, front discs needed machining and bled brakes - All fixed now :)

- then degreased bay, washed, clay bar, polished, polished again.

Tomoz will wax x 2 and clean engine bay and paint a few minor things back to new looking and then clean interior

Then full service and drive :D

Not that im any better....... :laugh:

Crappy photos at night but you get the idea.

$25 on ebay, You can use the controller or just hook up the colour you want.

Thats what i did, just cut a length, wired up the earth and the green, then plugged it into the boot light socket.

I will probably put the rest in the cabin, under the dash and seats, and in the door pockets, all joined together with the controller hooked up to it.

It went to S.A on Monday and back in my hands Today

Recommend for all 32 peeps who have tired looking Steering Wheels, Coz I'm happy to lend my spare while yours is getting recovered.

Total cost = $275 (and a 6pack for me :) )

Sneak Peak on what im currently doing to my engine bay.

And cleaned both front indicators

Yesterday I played R33 Suspension games again.

I found that the Bump Stops I had put on were way too tall and they were actually taking up some of the weight of the car. (you live and learn) :rolleyes:

So after chopping the stops, the Front Lovell Springs were too low. They looked MAD! but rubbed the guards when cornering.

So I've put the NISMO springs back in the Front and have the Lovells in the rear. Sits even.

(eyebrow height is 335mm both front and back)

Then a Wash. :D

Drove out to Sutton and found the ride not too bad but definitely harsher than Stocker springs.

Stopped for a Pic on the way home.

    • If doing that ^, I'd take the idle up valve out and plug the hole in the pump.
    • You can try capping the power steering idle up valve at both ends if it's old. The valve and the intake manifold. That is something that is known to fail in Toyotas with age and it will suck power steering fluid into the intake and burn it in the engine which can cause issues. Then bleed it again with engine off first. Do like 30+ lock to lock turns with the front wheels off the ground.
    • Hi Brent, I am wondering if you ever worked this out? I have upgraded this unit to a newer one and everything works bar the reverse camera, so i really want to know what plugs are what so I can patch the camera through. many thanks in advance Mike
    • Once you have to get up in the morning and be useful, you suddenly value sleep it turns out :p
    • Update:   smoke test all pipes no issues cleaned reservoir   fluid put in ( dexron 3 atf)   steering turn side to side and could hearing  gurgling from steering rack which I assumed was air lock, opened one of the steering rack connections and could see loads of air getting pushed out( not sure if you meant to do that / whether it will re introduce air into system)   anyways, loads of side to side sound was gone. Turned car on, pump was slightly ( barely) wining so turned side to side few more turns and fluid level when car on was almost none in resorvoir which I guess is normal if car is one. Turned car of and fluid was gushing out. Almost 200-300cc was pushed out. Repeated engine off side to side followed  by engine on and same result       going mad now. It seems system is either sucking air in whilst on or there is tons of air which I am not giving it enough time to bleed. Thoughts?   would it work like brake caliper if I open steering rack copper pipes and let gravity pull all air out?   or maybe have a restriction somewhere? What is the red circled item, could that be blocked? It i
