So soon :O

Whats coming off first?

As much as I can take off on my day off on Wednesday :P

Are you building or buying, Phil?

Building man. Good time to build at the moment with the builders doing a lot of good deals and the government doing the extra $10,000 building boost until January 31st.

Hey Phil, If you need a hand to pull anything apart let us know. Was alright Saturday, bit unorganised sorry guys. Definetly have to organise something for easter. Oh and Phil do Sau members get discounts :P

Hoping to order balancer, new boost gauge, wideband gauge in a week or 2, sump should be paid for this week pending ol' matey potatey takes the VVL head this week.

actually got some motivation to walk out to the gtr yesterday, removed most of hte loom from top section of motor, just gotta get under the plenum and remove the remaining connections and she's only got the "mechanical" things left.....

Might jack it up this week and look at the gearbox, apparently it's a push..... hoping it is................. LOL

Also may need a battery as this one has gone flat ( :( ) Phil, any idea what size it takes if yours and mine are hte same? (given you just went through this issue LOL) - Just need a size really as I'll probably get a optima.

Yep, I have a serious carbon whorism / obsession

Carbon pieces on the car:

400R front bar vents

Nismo B Pillars

Nismo Spoiler End Caps

Exhaust Shield (To be fitted)

Boost Controller mount / panel thingy

Spoiler Blade - Gotta modify

Nismo Gear knob

What's to come..............

Window control switches

Center Console lid

A pillars (drivers mainly but hopefully passenger too)

Bonnet struts

Eventually will get hte dash cluster done in PROPER carbon along with the sub meter as they are a "carbon look" from factory so proper will look legit.

and MAYBE get the air diversion panel done in it....

Is anyone an expert on 5 stud conversions...? Considering buying an s13 a in the middle of going through a 5 stud conversion but haven't done that sortve stuff so a little nervous ;) Phil you would know the car, a bloke by the name of Adam owns it out at mt low

    • 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 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
