Like everything is an inch thick in grime, should have really taken to it with a pressure washer first, but meh too late now.

can tell a butcher has been working on it though, that many stripped bolt heads over tightened bolts.. my temper is limited haha!

hopefully its going again tomorrow if burson's is open and i can get the last few things i need.

Will be fun to drive the old girl again and even more fun when its wearing the old LCA's and coilovers from my silvia.

Would love to throw an S13 rack in it also to get rid of bump steer, but im not quite that enthusiastic just yet.

Had my R31 tuned at Dr Drift's yesterday, 240 @ 13.5psi, 255 @ 15.5psi & 265 @ 19.5psi.

thats not bad, not bad at all! what kind of setup are u running in the R31? last tune i had (will not mention by who :domokun: ) was dissapointing and only reached 250rwkw @15psi . I know it is capable of more with the existing mods but was given more excuses yet again, so thats why i was waiting for Dr. Drift to come down, i didnt think he was coming till the end of the month? suppose i have missed him again???.......!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm in Melb at the moment. Not much in the way of mods, TD06 and that's about it. Rb25 doesn't even have VCT.

He will be in launceston in a couple of weeks.

oh and to update for my car. i have dropped off my re-designed cooler piping to a profered workshop to be welded up wich should save on lost time with blown cooler piping again.

i am very happy with the new setup. hi compression turbo for the win. while it lasts anyway.

got the seats in, spacers on and ps pump changed today. car is now going again.

all that is left is pod filter, mount battery, modify cooler piping, longer studs up front and fit speedo sender. (oh and chase a rattle in the rear that is shitting me!)

then it is ready to put on the market properly! actually starting to be quite a nice car, might even change my mind and keep it for a little while.

here are a few pics of the car

    • Wish I had this advice when I did my pump. It went in and out 3 or 4 times, and on the last time it snapped.
    • Tried them, they leaked. I also foolishly bought some random rubber ones that leaked too.  Genuine and not looked back.    As always though sample size of one, and I could have made a mistake installing them. 
    • Technically still manual process to set it first time though
    • Shit job but not hard. I'd use a piece of wood to knock the plastic lid open to avoid damaging it, use a vacuum to clean up the fuel sender lid also so crap doesn't fall in. I'd probably do pump and filter at the same time since you're already in there, I reused my OEM sock after a quick clean since the one provided wasn't long enough. Could also hardwire your pump if you feel inclined.
    • Supercheap auto sell this: https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/pat-plusquip-fuel-tank-lock-ring-tool---universal-kit/SPO3564082.html I own this and if you HAVE PATIENCE you can remove it without snapping lines and generally being incredibly angry, then said at doing this job. Sadly I've removed the pump about 75,000 times over the years. I don't know if you're a large lad or a smaller lad but my advice to you as someone who is 185cm is if you are my height or smaller, is to sit in the boot and take your time. Yes you can put the seal on. The seal goes over the white thing/lid (you will see how it 'slots' in) then the whole assembly presses into the tank. then you screw the lock ring on. I spent so much time doing things the wrong way by trying to mount the seal into the tank first, then putting the white fuel hat on in the space provided. Put it together first then it'll all go in. But seriously be careful about removing the hoses AND where the removal tool is moving relative to the plastic pipes coming out of the lid when you've removed it. IT IS BRITTLE So brittle in fact I have two spare lids, and would recommend buying a spare and having it handy before attempting to do this. May as well throw https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD in the tank as well, as this uses all stock plugs and such. You may need to/strongly recommend you re-use your OEM fuel sock or use the one supplied with a length of hose so it sits at the stock height.
