Finally got my other project out of the way and starting putting it back together today.

Reunited at long last

New brake booster and master cylinder, have a rebuild kit for the clutch master cyl that I will get on to once I get some circlip pliers.

New engine loom going in

PWR radiator & in-tank oil cooler test fitting. All looking pretty good. Top pins are about 5mm out, and the factory brackets need to be flipped but all looks to sit well. I did have to bend a small lip on the car at the bottom in front of the radiator so that it didn't foul but only a few mm. Aiming to have the fuel tank and most of the wiring back in tomorrow.

Steel steering blush replacement for the rubber one has arrived going in tonight.

Also need to get a replacement dust cover for the input to the rack. Literally just touched it when cleaning the subframe and it fell apart. Apparently there is a toyota rubber one that is the same size and fits well.sristeerspacer.jpg

How the fk do you get the time to do this? Please let me know if you have managed to clone yourself!

Ha I wish. Yeah just slowly chip away at it. Good to have a space where it can just sit and you can put time in where you can.

Hi Paul

I am most impressed with the level of detail you have gone to. I am just embarking on a R32 build myself using the good fellows at Racepace so I am feeling rather inspired now after reading all the posts on this thread. Good luck with finishing it mate. I will start my own build thread I think. Ev.

Solid steering bush in, also grabbed the dust boot of my spare 34 rack - a little different but its rubber and fits up pretty well. Will do the trick seeing it wont be driven on the road.

Thanks Evan. Is your car already at Racepace? Was there on Thursday and there was a white 32 that looks like the one in your sig - a nice example! Get on to the build thread for sure.

Yes very tough! Should be even meaner once all the junk is removed from inside. Cage should look good too. Got to decide how that will look as well. I might make a hybrid of yours or Duncan's perhaps..

    • Its also worth mentioning that 30 years after it left the factory and god knows how many missed oil changes since, there is every possibility that one or more lifters are ticking because they are sticky/gummed up. To resolve that you need to pull the cams then pull each lifter, disassemble, clean, reassemble, soak in oil and re-install, and they should come up good as new.
    • What air filter are you running? Is it a panel filter in the stock air box, or a pod filter? Is the air filter the type that is oiled?   If you unplug the IACV, what rpm does the engine idle at?
    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
