So much happening! :D Very exciting stuff, I've done a little to mine but I'll post that over in my thread because there is a fair few pics!

Bushy: Really excited to see you're making some awesome progress; Can't wait to see you on the track again!

Brain: Loving the flares, they don't look too bad even in black. Are you going to colour code them?

Young: That is one Sexy 31, love it! Wheels are mad and boss fitment!

That 31 is porn,

Yeah it is a little bit lower then before I think it may be the angle im taking the pics on as well, I have around 100-110mm clearance on the front bar.

I'll take some better pics when i get it out of the garge.

I think I may just keep them black for now, I'm not 100% sure yet

Slight correction to my last post...I meant to say cam seals were replaced, not crankshaft seals hah. Doesn't look like I can edit the post.

Yep, after 20 Mins you're committed!

That thing better get low ^^ . Ok im bored so i shall waffle , blue snotter is very close to rego , just need to pull my finger out and finish off a few small things . After a fail weekend last weekend where i missed out on the charity ride day over mis communication with people , i finally have my other hq ready for the track again and 28 is back in full swing after the issues in Melbourne . How did everyone go last weekend at the track day? Im Devo i didn't make it :(

Doing some wheel bearing moves on the 31

Also need to redo the passenger side front brake hard line flare, anyone know where you get the hard line brake nuts from? and if a supercheap style flare tool can do the correct flare?

few new pics of mine (still in the garage) after getting another pair of flares, should have them on & out of the garage by next week.

this is starting to grow on me. Look forward to seeing it finished for next Sunday....

Yeah im good mate thanks , basically , i ran out of talent . I was playing with tyre pressures and a couple other things with the car and came through the esses too hard , got sideways , the clutch wouldn't dis engage properly and bam! . Only damaged the nose cone and front guard luckily (and bonnet and door) . My bad :s

I'm struggling highly for motivation at the moment.

Also for the first time in about 3 outings I actually jacked my car up to check it and found some epic inner wheel damage from the last prac day. My spotter kept edging me deeper and deeper to turn 1 untill I broke it. Also gave the chassis a good knock from another ripple strip adventure. Otherwise it's all sweet and ready to go for round 3.

I have several aspects to revamp on the. Car but can't seem to get into it. Any one got a way to get yourself motivated?

    • CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it. 
    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
