Our patch up job. Looks just like a new one.

behind all that glitz and glamor of race tape is some good old fashioned drifter cable tie stitch work. im sure i should have been a surgeon.

i also thank the porsche as i was able to steal/ borrow some of the the GTR's inner guard to cut up and make some ducting. it helped to.

My vet tells me that chocolate is cumulative in doggies (much like mercury is cumulative in humans)... They can't process it and get rid of it and it can be harmful if enough choco goodies are ingested.

That's why they have carob drops, and not chocolate drops for doggahs!

Just an FYI :yes:

Now he has no Boost bar, and a sick dog... rough day!

A mate's dog ate a whole block of chocolate and she was fine, so I wouldn't worry too much. But yeah, no good for them

My ex eats chocolate but unfortunatley she hasn't died yet... :P

Hey stuart, your evo is coming along nicley, love the cage! good work.

andrew - yeay knew it wasn't good for him so kept an eye on him afterwards, but he seemed ok. hes being pretty spoit at the moment, had a big thick viel t-bone last night, nice lamb shanks the night before and cooked chicken breast and bacon the night before that... all done just for him... better than most get i'm sure!

woo - all the cool kids are running back seats these days, didn't you know? nah, i put it back in so the car looked more streetable and knock down the road noise as I reckon it would make a top recce car... thinking i might keep it now as its coming together really well.

liam - thanks mate, yeah i'm pretty happy with how its shaping up. the fd isn't getting much love though...

Started putting together my first bottom end together today :D

Put the rings on the pistons, then attached the rod with the gudeon pin and locked that in with the circlips. Then i put the acl bearings in the mains, put the crank in on top, then the girdle after that. Then it was just a matter of putting the piston/rods in the block and attaching the big ends to the crank.

Heres a few pics

and also some ramps to get the car just far enough off the ground to adjust front or rear toe.

i dug up this old photo from my first event.

that S13 sports sedan shell is a pretty good buy for $11k. especially considering the penske shocks etc. If I were building a sports sedan I'd take a hard look at it, as it's a big head start for not much investment, providing of course things have been done well to the stage it's at.

Loving that GT-R Greg...mmmmmmm fat as.

Some new work done on the dash. ECU and fuse box have been mounted where the glovebox was and extra switchger for indicators etc have been mounted on a new centre console panel. I'll put an EGT guage in there soon enough to complete it.

Man, i am all ideas but i need to know what work is doing with me. At the moment there is a good chance i will end up in Cambridge or Shanghai so whatever car i buy next, odds are it will be for me to toot around in whilst OS :D Poor GTSt is just sitting in a factory going to waste.

I cant wait for 6-8 weeks leave and just come home and bolt it all back together and have some fun in it. If i end up in Cambridge it is going to take all my willpower not to plonk my pudgy ass in a Speed 6 or S2 Elise :happy:

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
