my replacement intercooler arrived today :D . I'll drop it out to the bodyworks tomorrow, and hopefully the rest of my parts have arrived.

Good stuff. ETA on when the beast will be back on the road yet old kid???

UPDATES for me: all parts have finally arrived bar afm plug.

Hopefully can get the car running this weekend (*free plug for anyone that wants to help* :) so next weekend i can get new parts in and organise to get it tuned :banana:

Want it ready for the HSCC sprint day so time is against me :)

that was dam quick ben.

ive got a few things to get sorted out on my car but i feal it will be remaing the same engine wise for a while now.

im waiting on suspension stuff and i will be starting to tidy some stuf up soon.

you sir should live at the sunny end of the state :thumbsup:

ha thats gold i was gonna say somthing along thoes lines 2. whats that ,one rainy day in the last month.

every time i go to hobart, which has been meany this year (still gay every time i go i might add) it has rained or atleast drissled.

i am enjoying being a passenger in my car at the moment. so much so that i dont want to have to take it off the road for ongoing work.

Well the cage is finished. only took a fortnight. just gotta get the windscreen back in tomorrow. haven't painted it yet as im unsure what colour to do it in. Same blue as the exterior, Satin black or a nice Charcoal grey. What do you guys think? also got the flywheel and clutch to go in so i will do that at work this week. ready for the hill climb this sunday.

paint that cage while the glass is out. charcoal would be my pick. do it as a few weeks back i helped prep and paint a cage and it would have been 100,000,000 times easier without glass.

my front shocks arived today. they are a pair of bilstines of unknown age and condition but they have already shown they are 100times better than the original ones that i had. only problem is that my pedders lowered springs sit to low on even the highest heigh adjustment so i think ill get some whiteline spring on the way or just go back to my standard springs for a while.

now i just need the rears.

Well my car is still a pile of steel, but hopefully I will be able to make a start building the clubman this week - If anyone is keen to build a clubman, apply for the transport approval now! before we catch up with the mainland ADR's at the end of the year, it costs nothing to apply and you have 2 years to build one from the time you get approved. Shoot me a pm if keen and I will forward you the application forms :P

Are they circlip hieght ajustable? If they are, just take them to a machine shop and have some more gooves machined.

    • I ❤️ Matty I would like to thank Matty for going out his way in securing me a OEM NC detachable hard top for the NC Matty, your worth your weight in gold, and I cannot say how much I really appreciate your outstanding help I'll get it colour matched once I pick it up sometime in Dec-Jan 😁  
    • We have some genuine Japanese legally decommissioned car number plates now in stock 🙂 Add some legitimately obtained JDM style to your Skyline or other Japanese model, or simply as a garage/man cave decoration! About the 40mm hole: The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure & Transport in Japan recognised the popularity of keeping decommissioned plates among car enthusiasts and came up with a method to "destroy" (or render them unusable for street use) while still retaining their collectable/usable value for display etc.  We have 40mm hole covers available to cover the hole nicely with a Sakura motif, which are also available in white in (very!) limited quantities, however they frequently sell out. Please let me know if you're wanting one or more of these and I'll check availability. The Sakura motif covers are more common. https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set-su-7515 https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-400mm-hole-cover *Please note that we can't obtain particular number or area name (eg: "Gunma 500 Fu ・86") if requested. All plates are provided as they become available after decommissioning. 
    • Ah, fair enough. For the IAT, I'm using a legit GM sensor that was used on the car prior to my current build. I'll get another wideband and IAT ordered and follow up when they show up. Thanks for the help.
    • You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.
    • Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?
