im about to fit a lexan passengers window and remove the drivers (will use a net instead) You have to retain a glass windscreen for saftey in most events.

By the time you remove the glass, motor, regulator and wiring assosiated with it there can be decent savings per door.

Ive also removed all the old steel lines this week and replaced with alluminium/ speed flow fittings.

The steel ones are really not that heavy but the alloy is lighter and its fresh.

Andrew whilst you not using that headlight can I borrow it and make a mould? I want to make a carbon item but cant find a decent one to mould it from.

yeah no worries!

i wouldnt mind having a peek at that dry sump you have there.

not long now till the motor is here!

No worries, next time you have a free weekend come past home an check it out.

The whole engine is sitting out atm so its pretty easy to see how its all been set-up prior to being fitted to the car.

Im still working the small bugs out that I ran into on a spare engine before fitting into the car for the last time.

Biggest problem im having is the actualy sump pan and scavneger.

Aaron was telling me about the engine you have coming over, sounds like you found a half decent buy with it, well done.

If you want to offload the old donk let me know, may be interested as a 2nd spare.

All we did for the lexan windows was use a strap buttoned to the window from the inside and then velcro it to the roll cage to keep it tight, only downside to this is trying to put some tension(from the outside) on them when transporting the car. otherwise it works well.

Yeah i'll come over some time this week if thats good!

this is what i picked up Apparently a 34 N1 motor that was possibly rebuilt, and put into a 32 bought, then smashed after 3000km of ownership.

yer but skyline windows are hard to fit due to a frameless door and they have to be made out of 5mm material and are thermo formed to get correct curve.

easy to form them just put in boiling water for a few minutes then clamp it to the original glass to cool. would be 15 or more kgs in weight saving from all glass being replaced

from all glass?

i removed the front windscreen from the r32 shell and its 10 kgs,i'd say rear windscreen would be 10kgs or more.

so if the plastic weighs 1-2 kgs each replacement, you cud end up saving 18-16kgs from just the front+rear windscreens alone

how much do door windows weigh? (i dont have a spare one)

i have seen r32 gtr in option videos weight 1000-1100kg cool.gif i see if i can find which one it is in and upload it

if ya do www.megaupload.com

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
