ok guys, i need a hand with this.

as some of you know, ive got a coolant leak for somewhere around my turbo, which i noticed while backing out of my driveway about half an hour ago, is getting worse.

so im pulling apart that side of my engine, but i still think im gonna need a hand with a few things, so anyone out north with some level of mechanical knowledge (*looks at dale*), if you reckon you could help me out, that would be beyond awesome.

i wanna get this fixed before saturday or else ill have to sell my dyno spot, miss out on an awesome day out, and not go to the drifts, fail.

so yeah, would be hugely appreciated, will pay with reach arounds or whatever tickles your fancy if you wish. :)

you can find me on 0408961657

cheers.

SHE LIVES!!!

got home about an hour ago, to find that my dad had infact swapped the coolant feed line, topped up the cooling system, and refitted all the heatshields.

so i refitted the inlet pipe, airbox, hot pipe (which i removed twice again because id forgotten something), refitted the little boost controller dohicky whatsit, macguyver'd a couple hous clamps, crossed my fingers, and started her up.

no leaks, no strange noise (aside from the usual sr noises :down:), and yeah, beauty. so stoked. fairly sure im gonna be doing the dishes for the next month though, lol. its a bit ghetto at the moment, doesnt have the stone tray fitted, and the outlet snout on the turbo hasnt been torqued up, but shes running and not leaking. so im happy.

      Returning after a long time!

      By Shizu · Posted

      I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.

      I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
