Know how ya feel, I'm still in the process of ordering stuff that I hope to have ON the car before DECA and I'm away in Melbourne this weekend... (I've lined up to pickup a part while I'm away... dedication lol)

Me too! The biggest modification I've ever done was replace the old, dirty air pod that came with the car.

Now I've gone all out and bought extractors, and hfc, but I don't I don't think I'll be able to pay for the installation before DECA!

We'll see. Would be nice to remove the stock exhaust though.

ISC are suppose to be pretty decent....much better than half the other stuff going around.

Think i might put in my rear strut brace today, not sure whether to cut a hole in the boot plastic or rip the kent out

rip it out I say then you can always put it back in if you want later.

My boot and rear of the car is stripped. :P

Once you get started it becomes addictive!

Extractors can be a bitch when it comes to bolts holding it on, especially if it's never been off. Have snapped a few bolts in the past working on exhaust =\

Yeah, I've heard horror stories. How do you get the bolts out then? Weld stuff to them and use that?

I installed my extractors myself, prior to that i had never done any work on my car myself.

Took me 7 or so hours but I was quite proud of myself

Hard part was figuring our whether the extractors come out the top of the car or the bottom lol

Just make sure you have a good socket set...i cringed everytime i was cracking the engine bolts.

Thanks god none of them broke

Thats on an S13....if you need a hand let me know

there is a guy from mornington (The stud/bolt doctor, something like that) i think his name is, he has a van and comes to you to get any snapped bolts/studs you have out. I have used him b4 as i had 2 broken manifold studs and it took him all of about a hour to do...

Sounds bloody handy, you coming to this deca or did you say u were working?

In breaking news... I have some semi slicks turning up tomorrow so no more jokes about my crap tyres :(

I was checking out those crap tyres last night and noticed large chunks missing out of them on the inside edge... guess they don't like drift and track days or camber...

Most likely drift haha.

Drift = delam

What type of semi's?

I "think" they are RE55's I did ask but I have kind of half forgotten. I'm just getting some second handers on the cheap to see what I think.

Fitted rear camber arms last night too... full sik etc etc

Awesome ;)

That's a bloody tough call. While I'd love a look at (and a ride in!) the Cortina as it looks the goods, I'll be bringing the Sil so I'm naturally wanting more S13/180's around lol

You did bring the 180 last time though so maybe it's time for the Cortina to come out and play? Such a tough life you have deciding which car to bring along... tough life indeed... :(

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • 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.
