no worries for the lend of the power tools guys - I wish I didn't already have plans, I would have stayed to help you. Missed Darren too - what a bummer .... I must have left too early. Ah well next time!

Yeh i think i just missed you too, should have got off ma ass earlier and come around! The whole Barbie and work on car thing sounds like a good idea, will have to pick a nice day and not toooooooo freakin hot either, otherwise it will turn into a drink beer and sit on our ass day......... which i'm not saying is a baaaad idea :(:D

lol .... I am sure that is what the day would turn into anyhow .... maybe pick a 35 degree day, we can start at 9am, mod until 12pm, jump into the spa/drink beer/eat barbie/play darts & pool until 4pm when it cools down a little, then back into some more modding until 7pm, then repeat step 2 :D

My latest pet project (apart from my 'leatherette' seats) is to put some 10mm chipboard on the drivers side 'wall' of the boot (behind the lining) in order to mount a fire extinguisher, some spare fuel, spare water and tools. Not a big job, but would require removing the boot skins, measuring up, cutting the chipboard to shape, securing/deadening the chipboard and restoring the boot lining. It is the sort of job we could do to 6-10 Skylines at once if anyone else was interested.

great in theory but as well all know in practice unexpected sh!t happens and it takes way longer then expected. you know that bolt we tried to get off andrew? well we ended up screwing it up again - thank gosh we later had access to vice grips.

DOH! ... I was going to ask you how it went.

And yes, as we have discovered many times it always takes much longer to do than you think - but once we got a template done it would be dead easy to do more.

So, is anyone up for this project, or have another one in mind? I might just organise a day in a few weeks time - I'm thinking maybe 14th October? (Week after dyno day). I would prefer to do it before I head to Singapore .... but could wait until I got back.

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
