Not bhed aye?

Recently had laser eye surgery so have a few days off work (Not getting paid either, as I'm a contractor) but swapped out the study light with something brighter (used to be the guest room hence the fancy mood lighting pendant). That the missus' desk, hence the girly shit. My side is hectic.

Before

That is nice. May I ask how many pesos Or handjobs that cost? (not sure how you pay for things)

Pod/Catch cover, intake pipe, catch can, hot pipe, mod comp cover & weld cast elbow, 3.5" stainless turbo back exhaust, 2" gate merged after cat, and also screamer pipe option was $6.8k (LOL).

You mean 1.2 laundries?

Okay, all black, no oil leaks, now to go through a few tanks of fuel then clean all the filters, new oil and see what this T3/T4 eBay turbo can do on 98RON.

Installed new door handles and did a run in tune of the doors. Once it's running well, it will go for a final tune and once done, new tap ware should be ready too.

1/4 turn taps installed, had a massive laugh when I couldn't work out why they didn't work and water kept running.

Turns out they come in 2x pieces and you need to install the inner part first by removing the outter section.

Anyhow, Not bhed

    • Just a follow-up on this topic. From what I can tell so far the rusty residue on the engine block might be unrelated to a coolant leak or maybe just older than anticipated. After driving it from the winter garage to my friend's garage I could not see any new traces of coolant leaking there, but I will test this properly once I was able to fully warm up the car and drive it for a bit. I think I can agree that the whole porous engine block stuff is kind of nonsense, but there is just a silly amount of true, false and half-true information on anything Skyline-related on the internet.
    • hrmmm , not mine , easter plans to pull engine not happening     
    • I removed the IACV, cleaned it and reinstalled.  I found a video on youtube that helped with the whole process, the guy then said the idle needed to be set, so the process was to get the vehicle up to operating temperature, unplug the TPS, set the idle screw in the IACV so the RPMs were around 600, then plug the TPS back in.  After I reinstalled the IACV, the car started (because, it was a cold start), once it warmed up, the car died, I adjusted the idle screw to see if that helped anything, it did not, I had to wait about 3-5 minutes, then the car would start back up. Only to shortly cut out, and only crank.  I loosened the TPS to see if adjusting that would do anything, and when I would rotate the sensor clockwise, there was a humming noise, but it would go away when I got the sensor in the horizontal position.  It only made the hum noise with the key on.  What do you guys think? 20250414_172604.mp4
    • Quick update.  The engine grounding strap was replaced, the engine is now happily running.  Tested the voltage drop before replacing the strap, was about 1.2ish volts down between engine to battery, chassis to battery. With the new grounding strap, pretty much no voltage drop at all.
