Well my car got all that much closer yesterday.

Brake master cylinder in, bled & suspension all done. Wheels went back on last night and I expect it to be going to the exhaust people either later today, or next Tuesday when I'm on another day off.

All is going to plan at present.

  • 3 months later...

Im pretty sure Cazz has been putting inmany hours of 'covertime' at work, getting everyting ready etc!

Im still trying to figure out if the cars will be in n Arc or Line....

Im thinkig of asking the boss for the whole of next week off, otherwise this car will be both shit lookin, N/A (as in no turbo) and a 3 inch stanless exhaust and scuffed Z31 rims... TOOO loud for a total of 3200km trip...

AND

another let down.... blown headgaskt. sure it only takes 10 hours to fix, but I only ave 32 hrs to spare, and 30 of that is bolting on go-fast bits!

arrrrrrrrrrrggghhhhhh. should just buy that shabby GTSI and give it a detail....

and the many hour of tuning, otherwise you will be trailing it home..

Ive decided to keep the go-fast bits for the long weekend we have coming up....

So im going for the growly N/A option.

Still to decide on what to do with the exhaust though.

The turbo exhaust setup (which will likely be a bit too loud for N/A):

3 inch stainless from exh manifold to the 'cat'

'cat' is now a 3 inch I.D. (4" O,D,) stainless hot-dog, about 40/50cm long

then to a 2.75 inch mandrel section from the 'cat' to over-the-diff,

to a 2.5 inch inlet oval muffler with dual 2.5 tips

Still contemplating chucking in another muffler in the 3 inch front pipe

versus a 2.25 mild steel jobbie from the local workshop (at a cost though...) in which I will be chucking in a few months for the turbo setup....

although i could re-sell it to another member>>>>????

Yeah, I have to travel all of 3km to Glenelg. I'm not sure the heater will have started working by then.....

Aren't you just the fart smella :starwars:

I just got mine back from detailers & they tore the seat fabric and the trimmer farked the job on the other.

Why does everything go wrong in the last minutes of preparation.

D

NEED TO KNOW:

Anyone who is coming to the presentation dinner who has any specific dietary requirements? need to know asap!!!!!!

otherwise you will just have to make do.

Cheers

    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
    • You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
    • It's been quite the ordeal but hey, at least you figured it out.
    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow
