Yes i beleive the 34 timing cover is plastic and yes it does have a different font. Out with the old!!! So satisfying sticking the old ones in the bin! I have had the seats steam cleaned before. Takes about 10 mins to take the front and rear seats out. Because there are no electrics on the seats you can get right in there with the cleaning. -

I dont mind the finish on the stock covers either but with the motor apart i figure ill give them a refresh. While thw bay is empty i have given it a good scrub and got rid of 20 years worth of crud. Looks so much better. There are a few marks and scratches from general wear and tear but i wont be repainting the bay. Apart from the added cost i fear the bay will end up too neat and i will be way to pedantic everytime i work on it. In addition to cleaning parts i cleaned and retaped the engine loom. Its hardly noticeable but its easy to do and the finish product looks a lot better than old cracked or oily loom. As for the engine covers, gloss black is like an oem+ option i think. Candy red is over done imo. Have you finished installed the c pillars and bask in the sexiness of them? I think they really highlight the tidyness because you can see them delaminating from the outside which makes a good car look rough -
Out of curiosity why are these a low volume import? Whats the history behind these particular 6 cars?

Hiya! Progress has been slow. I have sorted out the clutch thankfully. I bought a nismo twin plate c spec in the pull type. I didnt check my current setup which was a push type. I contacted rhdjapan and they wanted a 35% restocking fee plus freight. If you know what these clutches are worth, you can do the math. I had a small heart attack lol. I called a couple of local retailers to see if they wanted to swap for the correct type but i knew it was a long shot. Its like buying from woolworths and returning it to coles. Luckily the yodas on here gave me the right advice. Turns out i do have a pull type box which was converted to push. I ended up getting what i needed from Skyline Spares at a bargain. Spent one night draining the box fluid, changing front cover and installed fork and slave. Also recieved nismo engine mounts, because why not. I dropped the clutch kit off at the workshop because they need to balance the flywheel to the crank but I haven't been passed in a couple weeks. I dare say the motor is back from machining by now. Basically, engine is staying 2.6 with a decent bottom end and headservice with cams. Apart from that i am in cleaning mode! I stripped the paint off the inlet manifold and i was unsure weather to polish this. I am reluctant to paint it because it marks so easily. Ill post up pics but after stripping it and cleaning up with a wire brush by hand it didnt turn put too bad. I figure ill keep it a 'natural' finish. Im thinking glass black for the engine covers. Thoughts? -

Is this Kenwood Car Stereo + Amp decent?
WantGTR replied to mercyseat's topic in Car Audio & Electrical
I suppose you can use it if it works and you have nothing else. Car audio is so much cheaper than it used to be. I bought a deck for 150 a year ago, brand new from supercheap, single din, does everything you need it to do and just has usb and radio. Lets be honest who even has cds today? Im not that old and i remember when it was nothing to spend 2k on a head unit which probably didnt even play mp3s lol -
thanks for the replies so far guys, its a massive help. its a bit tricky to get a good shot of the side of the gearbox at the moment but as per the pic below you can see the bolts protruding through the bell housing for where the slave sits. by all accounts my gearbox appears to be a push type yes? returning it is a bit of an issue. im thinking it might be easier to get a pull type front gearbox cover and fork to convert it to a pull type. is this all that is needed?
