Sau A.c.t. - What Did You Do To Your Car Today?


Recommended Posts

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.

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.

    • 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.
