well been thinking about my splitfire coil packs now its a shame to hide them in a cover but its good to keep the water out so decided to use perspex hope it can cope with the heat i wonder how hot it gets in there ? perspex becomes soft at 150C. But it starts to burn at around 160-165C and ifor water protection i used instant gasket in blue looks good tho what do you think ? and my hands after changing the coil pack loom and a little vid of first turn over after replacing the loom That’s my story complete for now deffo skint now tho opps lol what do you all think?

well decided to rip the air con out took 3 hours with tea breaks all i got left to remove is the part under the glove box every thing else has been removed also removed all the sticky sound deadning in the boot i will weigh every thing and see how much weight i have saved well heres a pic of all the stuff removed all thats left is the part under the glove box weighed the stuff that came off the sounddeadning and aircon so far 2.475 stone which is 15.7kg not a bad weight saved for some thing i dont use more progress today once i got all the tar sound deadening of i painted the boot to stop it rusting also i took off the stickers from my rear windows they were annoying me i much prefer a clean look under the bonnet different story also i had the ones from my member pack you can see the much more room i have made by throwing the air con out the last thing i did was relocate my stereo as it was sitting out too far and tidied up the mess behind this all the cables i removed. In japan i bet my car was a alien hunter or some thing lol this crap didn't work so pulled it all out one last job i did was change my brake stopper i had the nut the other end (closer to the servo) but after looking at other peoples mine was wrong so did that as well

lol cheers matey

sorted now managed to get my project up on the project page

I knew the grill wasn’t sitting right as the bolts near the bonnet catch were pulling down the bumper too much I ended up using the same bolts but quite thick washers between the bumper and the support panel this is what I got also bonded the grill on now using a small amount of tiger seal and left it over night I think job done looks much better Thought a coil pack was dead turns out the last owner buggered up the thread on a spark plug hole all this time and problem solved no more misfire for me my hid head light have been a concern for me as they looked a nice shade of blue but were a bugger to drive with in the wet and dangerous so what i done to day is got a new set of hid 4300k headlights with stainless steel ballasts (more bling to be polished) and I put the 6000k I had in to the full beam so now I have 4 hid light on the front of the car Pics This shows new headlights 4300k hid compared to the old 6000k hid much better This shows full beam also my rear panel has been doing my head in as I used a neon tube first time round and was slightly short so half of the s and e were missing when side lights were on so I changed the neon to a set of leds and installed them along with red sticky back film to make the light more equal much better Pics This shows what I did with the leds This shows the rear panel with camera flash xmas was here decided to treat the car for its years birthday of being with me and ordered a carbon fiber bonnet thanks to auto extreme cant fault these guys will be fitting in the next couple of days thanks again Wayne from auto extreme you know how to make a man happy Here are the pics Whets in the box? Side open Bubble wrap off Out she comes Close up Am I happy? took 2 of us 20 mins to get old bonnet off and new bonnet on and fitting nicely was going to do the catches but started raining again so I decided to leave it for another day pics as follows slandered bonnet is really heavy new one is so light its unreal so all that’s lest to do is fit aerocatches and fit washer jets job done then fitted no problem at all and better still makes the grill look perfect so its staying Decided today that I had enough balls to start fitting the aerocatches god I hated cutting a carbon bonnet I must of aged 20 years doing this lol Nothing major really first side cut out now lost light so tomorrow will do the other side and bolt the catches up other side done and all fitted I ended up reinforcing catches using a high strength bold sealer same stuff that’s holding my spoiler base to the boot so mega strong sorry for the crappy night pics will get better ones when I clean all the dust of her I was going to wash the car before work over slept and the rain washed most of the dust away here’s the day time pics next on the list was a oil change I have had the car on the road now for a year so decided it was time to do this didn’t realize how much she needed it how dirty the old oil was got the oil filter from Andy at S.P.A oil Found in my local asda store was a offer on castrol gtx oil £20 for 4 liters so got 2 of these and the left over is to share for the skyline top ups and my Mrs. car nothing else exciting yet pic of old oil Will drop the castrol out of her in a few weeks to use some higher grade racing oil update today I got myself a set of gtr seats so out with the old in with the new my camera makes out that they are dirty but they are not the seats are suede and have different shades of colors when touched bloody hell they are so comfy was a nice drive home with them well worth the price tag of £700 These out These in DAY TIME PICS That’s my story complete for now deffo skint now tho opps lol what do you all think?

I sold my front bumper. Saw a big deal on eBay for a do-luck front bumper with a fitment issue. Got convinced to take a chance with it and well after a few hours looks like its going to fit ok! All the fitment issue was the standard bumper brace bar which I thought I would have to cut anyway. Pics as follows All marked out where I had to cut with my angle grinder, I was pooping myself at this point. Also with front bumper off I noticed I have a trust greddy intercooler. Most of it cut out just a little tidy up Cut out done now weighs slightly less Lost daylight but this is what I have ended up with. All I got to do is drill holes to mount to the wings and underneath the grill. I'm not looking forward to that Best of all it cost me £85 plus £15 postage ordered a grill from knight racer but wasn’t happy with it so got a refund with it and will sling it in the bin never mind any how this is the bumper fitted as it stands at the moment bare in mind it said fitment issues it does need slight adjustment nothing major tho I couldn’t stomach drill a new bumper so custom finishes got it on for me also front indicators installed smoked rover 25 wing ones al that’s left to do is a little bit of filler work and away for painting back from the paint shop and omg what a difference all I got to do now grill needs adjusting to fit also indicators are working now with a little help from a resister on each one I think the bumper matches the style of the side skirts well what do you all think ? Well all done now still unsure on the grill it is a gtr style one first pic I will show you I love it. But second one I will show you im not too keen on it and the 3rd pic I love it again opinions? Also silver sun strip has been replaced with a tint from all blacked out as I couldn’t see through the silver one what do you think on that as well? I love the grill im not to sure on the grill I love it again

Car seemed to be holding back at certain revs turns out the stock boost controller was still wired plumed in binned that and now she’s much much better and boost turned up at max for the stock turbo Also binned the standard dump valve for the blitz one More to come with the nice weather I started to seal my leaky boot stripped out the old sealant and resealed with tiger seal also found out my rear lights are missing some bolts snapped off that’s another part of the leak and why the lights filled up with water so replacement ones ordered here’s a few pics of the tiger seal witch set in 20mins with the heat today I painted the tiger seal with a small paint brush doesn’t look to bad until I get it done by a sprayer most of my engine bay pipe work have been transformed now only a few more to replace also changed the sparkplugs to ngk and she seems to be getting better also carbon wrapped my rear panel for me so put a neon tube inside and bobs your uncle got a light up rear sign also those who went to japfest will remember me buying led bulbs for my rear number plate take a look how bright they are oh and I fitted a massive bosh battery (HSB075) now as well

you may of seen in another post I had a water leak found the biggest problem being the turbo water feed pipe was split in half also I had a pin hole on one of the pipes but stripping her down the plastic connecters cracked and were in hell of a state really brown and yucky lol just waiting for the hoses to come from Japan had a amazing deal for the kit over half price than a uk kit here’s a pic of the water feed pipe there’s a hose that attaches to the end of this it cant be any more than 4 inches long that’s all the trouble was Got these finally in the post nice samco hoses Hoses fitted still got one or 2 left to also polished and cleaned the car today ready for japfest Car has been treated to the following in this order prewash Shampoo tcut polish dodo juice wax Glass cleaner Engine bay polish Interior shine well update again few pics of the car at japfest wont bore you with hundreds of pics just a few of the best ones of my car even a few on the track

well good news the spoiler blade is now complete and ready to go on thanks to my mate Paul its to fiddly for my ogre size hands lol my original idea of mounting this spoiler didn’t work so in the end I ended up using spring toggle bolts but had to modify them to get it them to work my trusty bench grinder done the trick Here I am drilling the holes and line every thing up This is what she will look like One side all done now for the other Job complete well had a nice day out with the skyline yesterday too see my sister amazing to drive fair play but hard to keep to the speed limits lol pulled over for a ciggie and to take a few pics now my sisters husband has got a 3.0 litre supra automatic took him out in the skyline he loved it and now wants a skyline lol any way here’s a few pics sorry about the bird crap near the headlight So much again has happened some good some bad some dam right pain in the arse lol The good: Had my lights tinted with the orange indicators/fog lights and the head lights did my head in also installed hid headlights and led sidelights pics of headlights Lights not switched on in these pics More good: went out for a few pics Now the bad: after driving up the mountain we heard a hissing sound thought I had a puncture but no turned out the car decided to pee its water every where from some hidden pipes topped up with water took it to the nearest petrol station filled it up with water again but this time she would pee it out so fast I knew it was the day done lucky I got breakdown cover on her Now the pain in the ass Stripped out all the hoses out of the car turns out its the water hose that supplies the heater in car had a pin hole in it with age I thought to myself it wouldn’t loose that much water with a pin hole connected a hose on low power to the rad and found out there was another leak this time on my turbo water feed the pipe has complety rotted away the skyline has done very little mileage in her life time the water in the pipes have rotted every thing by the looks of it The costly or not as the case was: turns out the standard pipes what I need are £40 for second hand ones from the same age skyline I decided new was the only safe option samco and sfs kits are on the shelf for what I need at a total cost of £300 OUCH managed to take what I need the from Japan delivered to my door for £140 so im now awaiting my parcel from Japan to get her back on to the roads

Next I got the spoiler back from the body shop at 8.30am yesterday so after a hour or so I got bored and started to take off the standard rear spoiler now running bareback Plugged up the holes left in the boot and hopefully when it stops raining I can fit the new spoiler the veilside spoiler its was in bad shape when I tried to take it apart the screws were all rounded off and seized solid so I had no option to weld on a nut carefully not to damage to much of the fiber glass that didn’t work in the end my trusty dremel was to save the day as I grounded the heads off the screws once it was all apart the damage the screws caused ripped holes in to the spoiler blade I managed to cheat for the bolt holes I used a fiber filler first drilled a 10mm hole and took a trip to wickes and found a drywall bolt thingy witch opens up as the bolt tightens like a rawl plug to make a very strong anchor for the bolts this is how she stands now not to worried about it now its strong as hell that fiber filler and the bolts work wonders again just got to flat her down for its next stage Side 1 Side 2 Down the blade just finished the rubbing down to get rid of the runs the house is now a tip lol but all the white marks are where the runs were must of been painted by a blind person lol made the most of these past few days of heat and I managed to bond and bolt the spoiler on all that’s left is a few more days to fit the spoiler blade once its all ready

lots more done I managed to get a veilside spoiler at a bargain price of £80 as the nuts and bolts were seized sorted those out with aid of old nuts and my welder now at the spray shop Lots of stainless and chrome is now under the engine bay needs 1 last polish to remove the water / finger marks here’s before and after pics tho the polished looks dull in the pics as it was a cold morning and they mist up but trust me these things are mirrored polished Before lots of Poo and dirt After lots of shiny bits and bobs Also found more goodies installed for more power when I took the engine covers apart for polishing splitfire coil packs Had a spare half a hour today so gave her another polish and got rid of the finger marks the shine is unreal she’s now fully armed with a cat 1 alarm and immobilizer boost and volt gauges are now all working new veilside spoiler has been sent to the paint shop mod list now stands at the following BC Suspension with adjustable height and dampness Nismo Smoked Indicators Stainless steel engine covers Custom made bottle tops with skyline lazed out HKS Air filter Blitz supersonic dump Valve Greddy trust exhaust system Greddy trust intercooler Greddy emanage piggy back ecu Kakimoto alloy Wheels Uras rear bumper Splitfire coil packs Blitz sbc-id boost controller with fuel mapping system Metal headgasket Front splitter Stainless steel rad brackets Chrome dipped Cam cover Polished rocker covers Custom grille Split fire coil packs GTR Speedo gauge GTST Leather handbrake and shifter covers Short shifter Boost Timer Delimited and converted to mph Sunpro volt and boost gauges Razo pedals Massive drift rev counter

got her unloaded that night took the van and trailer back then I started prodding as she was going to be on my drive until my insurance was up for renewal. Found a goody underneath the seat a greddy ecu. Engine bay started tiding up lots of bling now also relocated the boost controllers in the dash also installed a gps system so I don’t have to take my satnav every where I go also I have replaced all the bulbs and I know they are all working got a few more things to do to her before she’s going back on the road any way here’s the pics so far Did a really stupid thing next and got stainless rad brackets all looked amazing but 1 of the old bolts decided to snap and with out me thinking I drilled out the snapped bolt hitting the loom underneath the panel bugger ! Swore lots got on the phone managed to get a loom so I could see what it was I drilled through L. Phone up lots of auto sparkies they wouldn’t help bugger ! Next was rip out the damaged wires and re solder or replace what it was I drilled through and guess what all the panic and it was just the reverse light switch that goes to the gear box phew And this is the fixed rad bracket you can see the bolt I replaced

trying to make a project thread but its not working any ideas why ?

Hi guys and girls My name is Bob im from sunny South Wales in Cardiff i drive a 1996 N plate spec 2 r33 gtst my story so far 25/10/2011 is the date I picked her up at a very very low price of £2353 didn’t see the car as it was a few hundred miles decided to take a chance and bid on eBay at the very last second and won so the next day I hired a van and a trailer and told the mrs if it was a crap one we just leave it there but fair play we got there and I was amazed at what I brought paid the man there and then she had 318bhp with only a hand full of mods nismo bodykit,alloys,boost controller, dump valve, fuel pump, coil overs well enough talk here’s the beastie on the way home from where we got it 2 hours to get there and 5 hours back with the stress of towing this and stopping to check she was still strapped down well enough talk here’s the pics
