yeh, think they are heavy. i know yella terra re-designed them so would be interesting to see the new ones.

i will be putting a set of Harland Sharp rockers this time though.

Any idea what the issue is with the roller arms? too heavy and causing valve float / bounce?

got through a bit of work this week, removed rear boot latch and fitted some bonett pins on the boot lid to make it easier to access the fueltank and eliminate the risk of loosing the key and not being able to open the boot.

Purchased a GT style rear wing, 1500 wide and sits just over 300 off the boot lid. Great fathers day present, thanks girls.

have began lowering the drivers seat which we should finish tonight. Also going to lower the fuel tank to drop the centre of gravity as it was advised this could aid in helping with handling in the rear of the car.

Still waiting for the front bumper. Might give the air ducting/engine cover a crack on the week-end.

Your build is mint and i didnt want to be critical of an awesome build, but i was left wondering why you threw the fuel cell up high in the boot. Throw back in the std jobbie, or GTR as i am told they are plastic and lighter, ...or better yet make up a 30L smaller alloy jobbie that sits under the car but in front of the rear axles...perfection.

I am reading all these build threads whilst stuck in a hotel room and so keen to ge tback to Aus and getting something going

i guess i did it this way as the tanks are cheap and it was easy to modify to run the internal pumps and because ive set up to many fuel systems on drag cars lol. If i run a standard tank i would have to run a surge and i just wanted to keep it simple. My setup only runs a feed, pressure is regulated at the tank.

Ill drop the tank into the wheel well and the sump will hang through. Its minimal work to do this and i wont have to re-plumb anything.

OK, the wing is on......and im not sure about it. maybe it will grow on me but at the moment i think its ricey, when i see it all i can think of is honda civics or mitsubishi lancers. i hope it gives the downforce it looks like it should or its going to get the ol heave ho. Anyway can always sell it to a drifter lol.....which makes me wonder why they have wings anyway.

im still waiting for Vin Diesel to climb out of it....

The wing is glass with a wrap. The uprights are cnc machined alloy and pretty serious though and it has large endplates.

i bought it second hand over the net. Dont know who makes it....could even be a custom job but not sure.

It looks alright Stu, Is it carbon?

also any idea who makes it / sells it?

Started on the air dam today. Used a fibreglass bonnet outer skin, marked it out and slowly got it to sit around the intake.

still have to glass up the sides and fit mounting brackets but you can get the general idea...

ha ha, driven a commodore lately? with the amount of off the shelf parts and interchangeable parts available for a Nissan, let alone the body shape of the R32 which is small, and arguably the best ever made, the combination was good. And im not sure what a Commodore has to do with it, if i had the coin i would have bought a Vet.

The thing is i always wanted the Skyline, the engine popped up by chance. Ive owned one taxi and ill never go back....

After all this man why did you put a v8 into your 32??? shoulda just bought a commodore if u want a v8!

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
