Cleaned up and put the stock rims and hubcaps back on the Micra and added a little more air.

Retightened the front wheel bearings and a few hose clamps on the Wagz.

yesterday/today:

Re did all the vacuum lines with new Aeroflow lines. Cleaned and waxed parts of it. Polished my key, and ordered more OEM parts.

Also did a complete clean of the interior including the seats. Smells good :yes:

Washed the Micra for the last time and arranged insurance for the Pulsar.

Exchange will happen Tomorrow.

Exciting.

Congrats mate, look forward to hearing about what 'tweaking' / 'tuning' that can be achieved with a late model Pulsar ....

What did I do to my car today!! I got it freakin filthy dirty in the rain after washing it on the weekend!!

None of those mods are likely to void warranty so they may well happen :D

The phrase "it's Ridiculous" has been said alot this evening.

It's so much bigger than previous Pulsars and actually makes the 33 look small. The Pulsar is only about 100mm shorter. :O

I'm going to have to totally rearrange the garage to suit.

Despite being able to put a clenched fist between the tyre and guard, the front bumper is closer to the ground than the 31s after being lowered.

The boot is the biggest I've seen and yes I climbed in. Easily enough space for 2 of me, maybe 4 if stacked.

The dash looks awesome at night, the headlight height is adjustable at the flick of a switch, the 1.8L gets it moving just fine, Auto box is smooth as silk,

as is the general ride comfort. It's soooo quiet and comfy. Very easy to drive.

Really Quite Amazing. Can only imagine what an R35 is like.

Makes the 33 and especially the 31 feel Really Old.

Ridiculous I tells ya.

Rewired fuel pump, put another big cable between alternator and battery to bring fuel pump voltage up from 10v to 13.8.

Hoping to run it out of fuel on the dyno again but to make more that 430hp this time!

Also my drag radials are waiting for me at the Toll depot :)

In the next few weeks I need to source GTR rear suspension, get diff gears and pinion flanges swapped, fit GTR cradle, modify handbrake to suit, fit BM50 master cylinder, wire up overdrive on the auto (and maybe also lock up converter), get a wheel alignment and figure out how to fit 200L of eflex in the car to get me to Coota and back. I think I can do it!

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
