When are you doing it? If it's Sunday I can come round and do it for you quickly if you want. I just have a long breaker bar which makes it easy and a modified harmonic balancer puller. Done it a hundred times.

Yea, i'll start getting it ready on Saturday, I'll just remove the cover, cas, and accessory belts.

If it happens to spill over onto Sunday, then ill keep working on it, only thing holding me back is the 27mm socket. Got a mate with an impact wrench so that should make things a breeze (hopefully)

You know if the radiator needs to be removed?

I always remove the radiator due to my harmonic balancer puller. But it can be done with it in it.

Well I finish work at 4.30 on Saturday so if you still need it taken off give me a txt message.

And yes I'm still alive :P

You're all pretty queer.

been too lazy to deal with forums lately :/ and SLOWLY finishing this bloody motor off.

need to do some proper measuring to fit an oil cooler into the drivers guard LOL.

how are we all?

Who's friends with some one with an S14? Want to quickly test fit two products, a carbon roof spoiler and a carbon ABS cover.

Otherwise might just take them to work and wait for one to rock up in the car park lol

All good, got the flamin mongrel of a thing off. Its those damn stupid 6mm bolts that the rb uses.

Took a bit of muscle and patience but, at last.

New belt on and tensioned back up.

Job done.

Just need a new radiator now, the old 31 radiator had leaks in 2 places.

Not sure if the gtr one will fit Rob?

Hats off to Phil for keeping the diffuser I now own in such good condition for the duration he owned it. I straightened it out for I think the third time today. Have cracked quite a bit of the resin off it to :(

So if I keep going like this I might be up for a new one next year lol

Whats the latest on everyones cars in Townsville?

    • 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.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
