$300 for splitfire erm were they off the back of a truck :laugh: really that is very cheap and sounds too good to be true and well we all know the saying

but do hope all works out well

Where they second hand???

Hope it works out for you Dan, really frustrating when this sort of stuff happens :laugh:

Yer haven't been on the computer all that much lately. Just jump on for a sec here and there to whore sau and thats pretty much it.

OMFG.. Your actually online and visible now Madaz. Not cloaked. :P

Oh yer. I can't weld for shit. If there's the slightest gap I blow holes. So tack weld and off to the exhaust shop for a quick weld. AAA said it should take them 30mins to 1hr max so at most $60. Sounds like a plan. $$ and parts etc has held me back a tad from getting it on the road quicker; but next week is the week. (As I keep saying)

The dump is super easy every thing lines up with the front pipe perfectly using a single 3" 90degree bend. The wastegate is a tad trickier but I'm getting there. I bought a cheapo Carbide bit from ebay which broke within the first 30secs of port matching the flange/spacer. As they say; Poor/tight man pays twice. :stupid:

    • Got the passenger door on plus the master cylinder and booster. Loaded up to take it home. At home, the colour changes a lot in the light.
    • Nothing cheap, but I have seen the AC Hydraulic DK13HLQ which is pretty close to what you're asking for. The problem is the hydraulic cylinder mandates that the back of the jack be a certain height and Skylines have fairly deep inset floor jack points. A more certain and cheap option is to get some nominal 2x10 inch lumber boards and have one board be 1.5 feet, the other board 3 feet. Glue it all together with lots of clamps to maintain pressure. Make two of these. The ramp suggested above is a good idea, it takes quite a bit of clutch slip to get over each of the boards. I only need the first ~1.5 inches for my low profile jack on a standard ride height car but a lowered car you want to go up to the full ~3-3.5 inches. Paint it or store indoors if you want it to last.
    • Ok. And Nistune? I read (here too) mainly on Stagea threads that it can by "turn off" with Nistune. But they say they still had the sensor plug in. Next week iam going to the Nistune(and other ECUs) tuner so i can finally make it work. I drove the car home and apart from the cut it drove great. No misfire no smoke no hesitation or rough start...so hoping it is this sensor that is missing  
    • I just stack 2 pieces of 200x50 timber on top of each other. Total length about 900mm, with the top one being a little shorter and both having a 45° angle cut on them to make the front edge a bit of a ramp. Put these in front of each front wheel, drive up on them, throw the trolley jack under. Takes 1 minute. Scissor jacks can eat a bowl of dicks. I never use on under my car unless desperate.
    • Well, yeah. But I just expect everything other than my car to feel like a bucket of shit anyway. I still miss my Alfa 116 so much though. You could run over a 20c piece and tell whether it was heads or tails.
