Took the shit box out with other shit boxes. Smashed the limiter again in 2nd a few times, I still haz PS belt.

Great success.

No need for an M3 anymore then... Did you chop the Evo?

Evo chopped itself, exhaust manifold cracked.

NA 4G63T lol..

Nah, would still take a F80 LCI M3 if someone is retarded enough to swap.

At the moment I still don’t have a running car and it’s like 14 weeks away 

You're nearly done, what are you on about?

 

Made a temporary, maybe temporary permanent heatshield for the ABS pump, loom wiring.

Should stop things melting on the circuit after a few laps. 

It's a bit ugly, but better than a pile of molten wiring at the track.

If money permits, might use those Real Thermal guys and wrap the gate, housing and dump.

I'm surprised you think it looks ugly, I think it looks great. 

I'm not sure if this would effect how well it works, but painting it black might help it blend in with the background if that's what you'd prefer. 

Thanks mate, I might try hitting it with engine enamel black.

Might make blend in a bit more.

Test and Learn tonight, pray to all the 33 gods out there, and the Skyline gods nothing breaks or fails.

It's alright, good to use the car instead of looking at it.

Will upload my PB lap soon, just trying to see why I can't get any of the telemetry from the VIRB. Probs dropped it a few too many times lol.

    • I noticed that I could see creatures on the moon when I turned my new headlights on. I thought I should check the alignment. It's pretty rudimentary but I just grabbed some dry wall and put it against my tablet and made sure the beam was below the height on the headlights. Ie the beam is at 600mm on my car, I just made it lower than that 7.5m away.  Not the best but it'll do until I can do it properly at the local shops.   
    • As @Duncan said - the bores are most likely to cop it. But anything can and does happen. Rods are cheap. Rods are good. The work to rebuild the motor will be 30x the price of rods. You won't notice it.
    • Yeah car has 110 on the clock. That said the front turbo (that exploded) doesn't seem to be the original, it has a S1 part number but the car is a series 3. Yep, in the cat is where I first found the turbine wheel pieces - a couple decent sized ones, then a whole lot of fragments.  I agree, probably makes sense to upgrade parts that are being replaced. Things like rods would be 'nice' but realistically it seems unlikely they would need replacing. I was hoping that it was a case that they generally f**k up the valves but not the bore, or vice versa. Is it generally the scour damage rather than ceramic bits getting mashed into the piston tops / valves? I tried a search but couldn't find any threads with pics from the guts of a motor that's had this happen. 
    • Front seats now in, fixing a little rust then front doors sealed up again finished. had to install a fire extinguisher within arms distance of drivers seat for hill climb regulations. little bit of good old silo diff action lol IMG_9146.mov
