Brakes done and she’s mobile! Driving around my yard, bailey was the only one that was keen for the first drive. Cosmo would rather watch.
 

It was nerve racking driving past the r34 in the shed. Don’t fail me now brakes haha

She doesn’t sound the best but starts with out using any gas now. I just ran some injector cleaner through her.

started roughly the first time after adding it but gave it the beans slowly upto 4k, Must have cleaned a few cobwebs out.

another step in the right direction for the sub

  • 1 month later...

Got pneumonia, haven’t played with her in a while, but I’m back now.

Previous owners cut bonnet pins into the bonnet. My choice try find a replacement or spend $15 get some pins myself to cover up.
Now only one small hole to cover.

looks shit now, but when the bonnet is red again. Be good 🤞

Rear doors central locking wiring removed and cleaned. See the first 8sec video of when it’s filled with river silt.

its a snip of what I’m up against.

front and rear doors complete now. Maybe another day removing carpet and bits and pieces. Then the re assembly begins. 🤙

Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer.

the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends.

The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
