Lots of work, was my family's farm bike for years.

Saw a mint one in Tokyo last year and got inspired. Hope to restore it with my kid as a project for him so he can learn to ride

Yes! I want to do this!! 

[Wheezy]

Few pics from the weekend.

Fingers crossed for the tune this week

Run in tune & cold start done.
Car comes home tomorrow morning.

Will get some KM's up on it before turning up the wick.

Making a custom layout for my digital dash.
Thoughts?

Seems to fit the theme of MAGA but more arrogance.

Might see if I can make the background change on redline for a combination of the two.

Powertune digital dash.

Basically a raspberry pi

[Wheezy]

Went full nostalgia with the startup screen.

Anyone who is an R31 die hard will recognise the video clip.

AH. I remember when that was launched. I threw the image of mine up and the kid knew exactly who I was when I did it.

I'm doing another currently from scratch this time. 5" wide screen.

[Wheezy]

Not much to update.

 

Dash insert turned up today and I test fitted the screen. Had to slightly enlarge the mount holes due to differences in the Powertune vs. the insert. (As they are both 3D printed).

Waiting on the pilot lights (Turning up Tomorrow/Friday).

 

Waiting for stage 4 restrictions to ease up before I get a wheel alignment and put some km's on it.

Looks like a decent quality 3d printed dash, is this mako motorsport of 3d racing solutions?

sure is, seems well made.

[Wheezy]

Haven't done much lately with the car.

Test fitted the dash on the weekend.
Just need to order some more wiring and DTM plugs.


Then drill the holes for the led pilot lights.
(Indicators, handbrake, high beam and alarm).


Might do fuel level through the Emtron as it has an input.

That's nice, how's the quality of the dash facia?

Pretty happy with it considering the price and lack of support for R31 things in general.
You can tell it's 3D printed, from the back. But otherwise it has a nice paint/finish added to the front size.

[Wheezy]

Pilot lights mounted. Just about to order some DTM connectors and wiring to get it all patched into the factory harness.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Changed position at work and am working EU hours. Daytime is daddy daycare and sleep

Hopefully next month more time for fun as I will split my shift between EU and AU time.

Still need to finish wiring the dash and putting some Bosch (oil/fuel) sensors to the Emtron before I drive it again.
Ordered the bits this week, so hopefully get stuck into the wiring with my brother in law once restrictions are lifted.

[Wheezy]

Very little updates here.
With the new job hours and some other life plans I've had even less time for this.

Still have the dash apart and cannot drive it. Chequered Tuning is booked out for the rest of 2020, so I'm in no rush to get km's on it to get back on the dyno.

So I used this as an excuse for more goodies for the interior & change the standard Trust dump pipe to a Vband as it's a pain to remove and put back on.
Hopefully take it on some drives over the xmas break
