As I said it’s a really small thing but sometimes they make big differences 

100%

Should replace the cabin light lens and all, I ordered all new ones too. They're actually CLEAR! not that yellow colour I see in every Skyline.

ran the wiring harness back in the bay and going to retape the parts in the bay to make it look new, 

Stalking your stuff as youre doing a super nice rebuild.

I saw the part above, have you looked at doing the braided wire wrap that you can slip over the top of an already made loom?

Looks super neat, and available in a HEAP of sizes.

Would look way nicer than retaped, but wont look factory.

Didn’t think of it for the old harness will look into that, already intend to use it when I make the new harness for the ecu/engine

The boots on the rack were stuffed and the rack ends and tie rod ends are 30yrs old so figured I’d send the whole rack away to be rebuilt

Lucky I did because it turned out the shaft needed rechroming so hopefully should have that back next week and can put it back together again

I don’t think they do. Didn’t appear to have any hoists just racking as far as I could see

Decided seeing as it was 30 years old and are common for dying now I’d replace the g sensor

new one is a digital g sensor from midori

and bolted into the car, fits strait onto the original bolt and wiring clips straight in

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
