OK....after much frustration, I got the top half off...now, that f**king lower half...namely that 7mm bolt, on the lower row, close to the firewall (so, from the firewall in, its the second bolt, or the first bolt on the bottom row)....

I've tried many naughty yoga positions with the socket, and couldn't quiet get it, I even tried from out near the strut tower, using 3x extension bars...still not luck....should I be using a ring set or is there a trick to this ? What angle am I supposed to break my wrist to get into

Once its off, massive clean and going black to match the upper half of the manifold, looks sexy-as, I'll post a pic....once its done, but need help first :3some:

Uni joints are your friend. Perfect for undoing nuts and bolts around corners.

Ive pulled off my manifold 4 times now, but I kept the two halfs together every single time. It also helps if you have someone under the car guiding the socket or spanner onto the bolt.

You've got some unusual skills mate :thumbsup:

Cheers, bought myself another uni joint this arvo (hopefully wont lose this one), and got it off, no probs - didnt think to try one because I figured they're too big.

The engine bay is looking very naughty now - have to trace and cut some gaskets, replace the brake booster, paint the firewall, and slap it all back together, and then expect some masturbation material.

OK, took a very quick photo tonight.

Im also using my engine bay as storage, same as the interior so dont mind all the other shit in the photo.

It looked sexier in my head, think it looks too much like an RB25 copy-cat, but eh, can always sand back and respray.

Opinions ??

Yeah thats what I reckon. I am painting the engine bay black though...a matt black, not a gloss black, all the shit in the photo has an undercoat of a dark grey kind of finish..it looks black for now but will probably show up with a dark background - see what happens. I'm not keen on having an engine bay full of colors, bling and a rainbow...it looks like shit and all the more reason to expect a canary yellow to finish the color wheel.

    • Hello everyone. I believe I have s1 headlights but I just wanted to make sure and getting confirmation from you all. Thanks in advance for your help!
    • Crazy how good the aero bar looks compared to the stock one
    • Yes, but you will need to rewire all the things that are different. CAS, coils, etc. Yes, but there is no IAT. What? You can use anything you like. It just has to be hooked up so that it will work.     Or are you wanting to just plug and play without having to do any thinking/work?
    • It's been a little over a decade since I bought the S15. As I did on my socials, I'll share some of my favorite pictures from over the years further below. If you haven't realised, pretty much all the pictures in my posts are ones I've taken.  In terms of updates, I don't have pictures, but I acquired a near-perfect pair of fog lights from a friend of mine, so those got swapped in for the pair I already had. As for the JZX110, I just got it back from being fixed. A few weeks back, I was on the highway when I suddenly drove over something with very little time to react. It was probably the size of a soccer ball, but it went under the car and banged into the underside pretty loudly. I pulled over and realized the fluid leaking was fuel, and of course, it was right near my exhaust. This required replacing the fuel tank. If you happen to be in the same predicament, thankfully this car shares a fuel tank with the JZS171, IS200, and IS300, so it wasn't too painful to replace. Enjoy some pictures as mentioned above, including the carnage from the fuel tank and a bonus picture I came across which shows how ridiculously shiny the Bugels are on the 110. So many more pictures I could share of the S15 but this will do for today, enjoy.
