Well new motor is in and looking like my car may be done for this DECA! Better get off my arse and enter :)

Oh damn, I was hoping that you'd bring it up in the state it was in last DECA... and we'd all be able to share the joy of a blown motor limping off the skidpan

All your mods were external bolt ons right? Unopened head?

Guys don't forget we are after people to help run the day.

So if you coming up and bringing a mate , girlfriend ,boyfriend, mum or dad get them to help us out.

Cheers...

Yeah pretty much. Unopened motor. Took/ taking the opportunity to fix some niggling issues at the same time. So still not 100% my car will make it.

Sorry mate... on the list now!

Not sure why it didn't come through

Hi guys,

Have paid on 30/7 and sent forms via email but haven't been registered on the list.

Have just re-faxed forms also.

Can you please confirm if you have received my forms?

Cheers,

Thang

On the weekend gave my calipers a good cleanup and fixed my guard liner which kept popping out due to lack of plugs... has scrubbed under full lock since the last deca :P

I've got a week off next week, so I'm considering dropping into Shockworks and seeing what they can do for me in regards to coilovers, plus all bushes all round. Stop this horrible suspension clunk and bouncy 10+ yo Bilstein Shocks.

Are you talking about Meeting at Wallan or similar at 5:15 in the morning for the drive up to shepp?

Most of us stay up there on Friday night at the motel (see the accommodation thread)

Do the bushes at least. Rear alloy collars are amazing.

    • 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
