Clutch pedal extension to accommodate short legs?
PLYNX replied to soviet_merlin's topic in General Automotive Discussion
Have you tried Mobility Engineering in Asquith NSW ? I found a 5Zigen Twin Mode clutch system. Allows operation of the clutch on the gear stick. Bit hard to find now though -
Wait . . . is that the Mission Impossible theme music I hear playing ? And the credits now roll ! Congratulations that's a serious amount of mambo there ! Now you can just sit there and do nothing . . . . cause its finished . . . . . right . . . . ? You'll have to take up another hobby now . . . like . . . stamp collecting or knitting ! Yep knitting ! I hear that's very therapeutic or cathartic ! !

I have also had great success using vinyl ester resins for these sort of repairs over the years. Vinyl ester resin tends to be a little bit more flexible than polyester resins used in most fiberglass But as Martin ( Unzipped Composites ) states prep work is very important for the best adhesion. With ABS type plastics first washing the affected area first to get rip of dirt and grime first. Sand area as required Then cleaning the area down with acetone will begin to "soften" the plastic and make the surface sticky or tacky to the touch. And then finally a wash down with styrene monomer being sure not to touch the area after the wash down to avoid contaminants on the fresh plastic surface. This will give the very best adhesion between the plastic and vinyl ester resin on application. So ends today science lesson !

BCNR33 Series 1 - Momo Factory Option Steering Wheel
PLYNX replied to Hella_GTR's topic in Exterior & Interior Styling
Yes I have done this conversion on a mates car and physically it fits no problem. The conversion that I did was on a NON airbag model and could be left disconnected HOWEVER as to the functionality of the air bag electronics it will be a bit of a dilemma. Even if you change over the signal wire plugs to the airbag you cant test it as you will blow apart the very rare and expensive Momo wheel you've just bought. If you leave it disconnected you air bag light will come on as it senses an error. So you have to consider what you want to do, leave the airbag disconnected (not legal in anyway and if it all goes pear shaped you will be liable in a big way) and pull out the bulb so the light doesn't come on and drive you nuts. Or make it look good and hope for the best -
PranK the pic in your sig is FREAKIN ME OUT MAN ! Turn it off Turn it off !

Canada 1993 gtr ready for action
PLYNX replied to MoMnDadGTR's topic in Members Cars, Project Overhauls & Restorations
I think your little lad is trying to tell you that the beemer might have a slight leak. -
Well smear my ears with jam and tie me to and ant hill ! Now get them to sell me that cracked bar and I'll repair it and flip it for 11teen billion dollars cause it came of a 400R.
-
I like how they magicked the crack in that front bar together. Working in the fiberglass supply industry for nearly twenty years that would of been a real bugger to fix correctly !
-
Oh now you tell me ! I've already thrown it sideways several times, screaming MAGNA MAGNA, into the gutter on both sides trying to get it onto its roof and then burn it ! Dam you guys really know how to take the fun out of things. And now I've got to fix it so I can be socially acceptable !
-
Hmmmm could be a bunch of things but I would first start with a leak down test. This will let you know if there is something physically wrong with the engine You could be looking at valve stem seals, turbo oil seals and even piston rings Coil packs do fail so get em checked as well as your coil pack loom cause it might of been faulty out of the box.
-
Oh my eyes ! My eyes ! You've burnt out my eyes ! Oh the humanity ! It looks like a Magna ! Noooooooooo . . . . . . . I'm selling mine now because of this !
-
Only cause I cured you ! Hallelujah ! Hallelujah ! Praise the Gods of Speed ! . . . . . . . . . . . . . but not you financial pain ! That's for you and the Gods of Finance to sort out. Oh and you will be Judged !

Financing a Skyline (Updated 2021)
PLYNX replied to yaboi34's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
Agreed ! 5000km servicing with Penrite HPR50 40-70 will do it every time. 460k+ on the clock cant be wrong ! -
Now that is weird ! I've also got a S1 non air bag model and I've bolted up a R34 triptronic auto clock spring to the indicator mech no problems Get the part numbers off both the clock spring and blinker mech you have and run a check on them. some one might of had a fiddle with them to get an after market steering wheel to fit

Oh come on man ! Don't leave us hanging ! Details ! Details ! Details ! ? ! -
There are very few left ! That is the rumor I am spreading on all media platforms. To drive the price up. As I've still got my Skyline. So it worth a premium price when I decide to sell for my retirement. Worked for the Ford 1971 XY GTHO Phase 3 !

How to unmount the front door rain guards? - R33
PLYNX replied to HCD Velcra's topic in Exterior & Interior Styling
Gently remove the rubber seal around the window frame and you will see the screws that attach the chrome surround to the door frame. -
How did this meet up go with the bucketing down rain ? I work about 500m away and it would've been like going back to work on a Saturday night ! Also with the floods at my place . . . .
