Booked the SkyWagon in for Rego re-inspect and wheel alignment for Wednesday...

Reattached the Passengers Rear view mirror after doing the Superglue Repairs to the mounts.

Also Received and installed a Brand New Clutch Fan in SkyWagon. Much Quieter now. :D

Very glad I did this as on Removal of the old fan, I discovered that there are cracks at the base of every single blade.

Just a matter of time before she went kablamo!!! :O

Started the stripping down.

Skirts, pods, doortrims, mirrors, doorsills and seal gone.

Got to take off the rear bar and wing, then i can wash everything.

Im going to try black in the doorgaps and under the boot, its already under the bonnet and in the engine bay.

That way i dont have to do so many coats where its going to be a pain, eliminate runs, also i can leave the doors, bonnet and boot on.

Also all the "utility areas" like in the wheel arches and underneath will be black.

"Raceday" bits will also be black: vented bonnet and guards, diffusers (gotta make em first) and a big wing.

Ps: Thats like my old Celica, thanks Hotwheels.

same colour too.

did some brain surgery on my speakers ( Trojan broke them ) they are workingnow, tho cant put them in the parcel shelf, any ideas? maybe fiberglass them in the boot somewhere with the sub?

just made a template for putting the speakers on the battery cover thing, worked well... until I put the speakers in not knowing that the shelf for the battery is a lot higher then I thought.... turned out the speakers wont go there

<br /><br />Your in luck I have a magnetic snapon tool used for removing the collets.I used it when I was changing the stem seals makes it easy.<br /><br />Also with the nitto head drain have you tapped it into the Welsh plug or removed it completely. Are you locating the drain pipe to the exhaust side of the sump or intake side.? Did you also put the restrictor on the block.

The nitto head drain requires you to remove the welsh plug and drill and tap the head. I did do the restrictors as per the oil control thread and opened up the head and block oil drains. Not sure on valve springs yet.

Took my car out for a drive and i got break down on tuggeranong parksway. got it towed home and started working on it

so now the car will be off the road for a while, lucky the rego is expiring next week

Water pump is leaking as the bolts are the otherway around

My power steering oil line was leaking for a while and all the oil were on the air con compressor as its right under the power steering pump, so today it started burning the oil and smoked heaps when drove the car with air con was on max for a while as it was not blowing cold air. Also the air con compressor is making a lot of noise. need to be replaced.

going to do the timing belt as well with the water pump (100k service)

Put my plazmaman intake, throttle body and z32 AFM then get it tuned.

    • 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
