Alrighty heres where I stand, ive managed to get this far:

Ive replaced the studs and at the stage of attaching the clover disk to the drive shaft. Everytime I push it in the shaft back slides back in. Im not to comfortable beating the crap out of it now. So im hoping to grab some advice of some people who have done this before.

Any advice would be good. Im about to cry as it has taken me a week to get this far.

LOL damn man sorry to hear bout that, that thing looks awesome.

BUT, the same thing happen to me and a friend on a go-kart, he was driving along and the wheel just flew off and i was chasing it.

At the time it wasn't so humerous but now i look back on it I see it as an omen and have a good chuckle over it.

I found a few things that definitely need looking into. At present it still has only 3 wheels but i have sourced a hub for $150 so I will get that fitted this week sometime.

Tomorrow I will order the custom carpet and roof lining which should be ready by the weekend. After that its a full service and tune then registration time.

After rego comes the paint touch up and she will be ready for show and tell.

How much is the custom carpet and roof lining. When u say carpet, it's not the floor mats right? It's the whole bottom end.

Cheers! =)

sorry to hijack, how much did it cost to send it from the eastern states. I am thinking about buying a skyline in melbourne. did the seller handle the arrangements to get it transported or did you do it from perth?

also i noticed ur car is quite low, any transport damage? the car i am thinking of getting has a bodykit.

Sup,

Hijack away. I went through Patricks Autocare and it cost me a little over 1400 to get it here. I went on word of mouth rather than what was the cheapest as i didn't want anything to happen to he car. If i had to do it again i would probably use someone else.

As for damage, from what I can see, there was none caused by the transport company. Just make sure you document eveything when it is recieved so when it gets here no yobbo has ganked your hard earned gauges/wheels/girlfriend.

As for the ride height, with the front bar fitted the car sits around 6cm from the ground. If you get one with a kit I would strongly advise having the front bumper taken off before transporting.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
