The weekend has been and gone - got pics?

Trace it onto paper you say. Will do - might take me a week or two tho.

My car is nearly ready - need to finalise a wheel alignment. You still taking spots fatz?

Gday guys, Just got my rocker arm stoppers for the SR20 - wondering if they're meant to be bent like this? I thought they were straight. Thanks.

Heh nark really? What would postage be worth? Fibreglass? GROUP BUY!!! .. oh wait I have no money :

Damn hell yes. Is that your photochop of your car or is that a car in J-land? Looks awesome tho.

WHATT?!?!?!? nark's car in anger? I need to go home to dl the vids to watch them. *soon my pretty soon*

Hence why I said no comment

Hello, I'm going to refer particularly to Jay's gearstick and handbrake boots for installation as they are the ones I have bought. These are direct replacement for r32 so it may be possible, in some ways, to follow these instructions for using r32 boots in a cefiro. If you don't know which boots I'm talkinga bout see here . First any foremost these are excellent quality and it shows that Jay actually cares when he puts them together so while I don't know him I highly recommend them. Tools you will need- Flathead screwdriver Phillipshead screwdriver A skilled leather person (those shops you get keys and shoes cut/fixed at) or if you're skilled and have leather tools you can do this yourself. Possibility some food (it can't hurt) 1. Take out all your old stuff. I haven't taken a picture because mine was out already and I forgot but you will need to take out your cover that is in front of your stereo. This is easy there are screws on either side and it should just come right off. Next is the gear stick holder-er thing, these clip in on the side closer to the rear of the car and require you to pull up on the rear half. The front locks in but doesn't click in so once the rear is up it will come out. Turn it around and you will notice the leather/plastic is sewn into a metal frame that pops into the plastic cover. Pop it out. Hold onto it and start on the console. Take out all your money etc and start unscrewing the 3 screws inside the console "hidey hole". This should come out at the angle shown, it helps to have your gear in 1st and gearstick half to full up. Underneath this you will find a metal plate with 2 screws. Remove this plate it holds onto it evil spirits. Triumph! You can now go back inside the house and eat aforementioned food - be sure to wash your hands before handling Jay's brilliant boots however. With the gearstick boot - with some scissors or those little sewing tools that cut thread *take breath* cut the thread and take it off, try not to break or bend the metal framing - you will be using this again. With the handbrake boot basically just rip the boot from the metal frame. Now that you have removed your old stuff tap your head 3 times - feels good don't it? To get the handbrake boot on I simply used a silicone sealer - leather glue would probably be the best but the stuff I used seemed to do the job nicely! A word of advice - you will want to line it up first and then use the glue. I did one side at a time (took a long time). Also with the cefiro the dimensions are tight - you'll need to make sure before you glue that it fits nicely (which it can). One side already was sticky so I used that to line it up and hold it on - you should have some glue left over in it also. As for the gearstick boot, I couldn't actually pierce the leather with a normal needle so what I did was take it down to one of those places that do keys and shoes. They glued and sewed it up for me all professional like for $20.* Very nice. Stick it back in (is that what she said?!) after it's all glued up and nice. You're ready to start to put stuff back in the car. The handbrake bracket should fit in perfect but be a little tight as the leather Jay has provided is (imo) a better quality and thicker than the original. It's easier to fit over the handbrake lever with the buttons undone. Just follow the steps up top in reverse to put everything back together. The result - Very very nice. (*) - I didn't use the little ring that you're meant to sow in the top of the gearstick boot. I prefer it this way, because the leather can be shaped to sit nicely and loosely around the shifter (i also have a short shift so its nice this way). If you wanted to use it you would ask them to put this in also. Thanks Jay! Great work.

No comment.

SICK rS - I will be picking it up soon. How bout some scans so I can just see the pics before I do?

NA silvia is gonna be the best bet you can get I think torque. Just don't do it up - forget trying to spend money on it to go faster because its still an NA and will get beaten by a turbz silvia anyday. Once you have gotten over the learning curve we all go through of the roads and road conditions then you can take it to the track and start to have some fun with it. The advantages of a NA silvia are simple - safety factor (not as much zoom zoom), insurance (someone will give you some), petrol (cheap to run), rewarding car to drive (it will teach you). Disadvantages - NA (you won't be able to race skylines) If you look at it practically it makes sense to learn on that car. Being NA silvia you won't also have to worry about parking it as much as say a rb26 uninsured skyline Finally. I'm 22, owned 4 cars, driven probably close to a hundred, easily over 500k km clocked - and yet I STILL wouldn't trust myself with a rb26. I just WOULD NOT get a car faster than I already have (200rwkw-ish sr20). And that's cos I appreciate the geee's and quite frankly it's a scary thing. Good luck.

karag I'd like to know what is up also. I have a sensor on my dumppipe hangin off the turbo and also one undearneath the car that's meant to go into the exhaust somewhere. This is not hooked up .. it was just hangin off the bottom of the car (I've tucked it up and away now). Still not sure what the ramifications of it are let us know how you go.

That's what I meant kursed it looked sleeper compared to what it was used for. I have to report Cromer Exhaust Centre are ****ING CHAMPIONS!!!! (especially David). I was on my way down there and my car CONKED!! I called them to ask if I could borrow a test light, they said we'll send someone down there for you (champs!) Along came a nice sounding r33 so I thought yep that'd be the guy - Now for someone I'd never met before David was the most helpful guy - not only did we manage to get my car going (fuel pump issue) to get it to the shop but when we got there he spent a while trying to figure out what went wrong. I called too_much and as the champ that he is he gave me the pin from the computer of the fuel pump. We inspected the computer. No current from the fuel pump pin. What the?? We took the plug out of the ECU and it was corroded to the shithaus!@ And when I mean corroded I mean it had been wet for ages! (green and shit) Water had been dripping in from the engine side of the loom and actually through the loom itself (which I'd never suspected). Some carby cleaner and some air spray gun action sorted that out quick smart and luckily my computer had not blown up. For the fair amount of water in there I was suprised it hadn't - when David hit the spray gun there was enough water to actually spray back at his face. After helping me out by diagnosing that (by this time it was a lot later than when I was sposed to be there) they still welded up part of my muffler that was hangin lose even though they were technically closed. I'm definately goin back and if anyone needs any mechanic work done give Cromer Exhaust Centre a ring - one of their stickers is goin on my car and stayin there not only did David know what the shit he was talkin bout but went out of his way to help me with nothin but a smile on his face the whole time. On top of that he was drinking a longie.... WHAT A CHAMP. Thanks Duncan for recommending these dudes to me. I'm goin back there next week to get the rest of my muffler sorted. List of cefiro helpers to date- ceffo, dumhed, too_much, ant, fab, Duncan (cheerleader), David, Menthu_Rae (FAST). I'm sure I've forgotten 1 or 2 peoples not for un-appreciating but for bad memory. BIG UP!

So.. waht you guys are saying is it's custom. Would there be much interest for a group buy from JP? http://www.east-bear.co.jp/aeroparts/cefiro/grill.html LOL that's like $160+ SIF!

it might be his font

I was gonna say if you're in Sydney I'd volunteer you a cefiro for test fit Would there be a chance of you doing maybe about 10 for cefiros? I'm sure some ceffy guys would be interested. I'd personally be lovin if you left the top bit blank so I could put in a perspex screen. What kinda schematics would you require? Do you have a sample schematic? Cos if you would do cefiro ones I would have a go at drawing it up.

It's a crap host - freewebs won't allow you to host externally linked pics that's why it redirects you back. I've hosted the links up Ali - you should copy this link to my server then put them in your post. Dave - once you load the pics they'll be in cache so they'll load on the page (that won't matter if i'm hosting the pics).

That looks great. Nice n clean. Very nice. If you change it and feel bored you can make my boot like that anytime!

Thanks nark. Nice cars Ali.

Nice jk good to see ya got there. PICS!?!?!

whowa how you do that?!?

5th+

SHIT yeah!! That'd be great to hook up when travelling over 80kmh so it displays someone elses plate hahahaha
