But Oktoberfest is late September So the garage sale of parts has started. Bye-bye all the Tomei RB24 gear

What are you doing with the Plazaman plenum?

Would love to see if it makes a difference in low/mid response compared to my plenum, I dare say it will, but I'd love to know before I go changing the intake again...

[stew.pack]

very nice car mate!

[fatz]

[MBS206]

No thanks...woudl rather continue to nurse my little bus along and maintain my record of not being a car breaker....just crasher

If you don't:

Throw a leg out of bed.

Spin a bearing.

Smash a Gearbox

Leave a diff on the ground

Or Eject the axles from a car,

You're just not trying hard enough!

[Roy]

Well, just need ome velcro for Blitz gear and centre console is finished. Next weekend will be making a better means of mounting the data logger on the column....never liked my old bracket.

I am waiting for my injectors and thephenolic gasket to arrive before I throw the Plazmaman on. I may be doing it next weekend whcih will save me a quid rather then the mechanic doing it

[MBS206]

How did you make that centre piece (The one looking like carbon fibre)

Is it just a piece of metal with fake carbon "sticker" over it, or is it proper carbon fiber?

[Roy]

its just a sheet of carbon with a few holes cut into it

[Nee-san]

Where did you source the carbon from ?

Awesome write up man, its basically the mighty ducks of car development.

[Roy]

I think i bought it off ebay or online somewhere...cant remember. It has been laying around for along while until i got a harness to move the aircon controls

Wait, so where did the air con controls go?

[Nee-san]

sorry to hijack Roy.

i can suply you with a pic of carbon sheet to do the job.

i made and installed a similar pice in bens gtst http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Be...html&st=380

[sav man]

Carbon sheet makes everything look good, and it looks 1000x better than the fake carbon sticker. I knocked up the peice to house the dash on my car.

So some more pics I took whilst working on the girl...So current work in progress

TE37s before stripping, 17 x 9.5" rears and 17 x 9" fronts. Were in white. I actually really liked them in white but loved my old satin black LMGT4s so...

Before

After stripping

Awaiting custome decal set

They were abolute pricks to rub back and prep, even after getting them acid dipped. Big thanks to Troy for doing a top job on the colour, satin black with grey pearl with matt clear...looks mega cool in person with the light on them. Shame once they are on the car brake dust will most likely hide their real colour

RB24 Gear

Well, been hoarding this gear for a while now, but have to either build the engine in the next few weeks, or sell it. Imminent work OS means tough decision needs to be made. Dotn want to really build a motor when the std one keeps on rocking....

And with the Tomei solid lifters and 260/10.25mm Procams I needed to upgrade the valve springs...so knowing nothing about engine building it was time for some more catalogue shopping...

And there is always those annoying jobs you wish you never started. After my fire at Winton all those years ago the wiring for my AiM data logger was damaged. It required a new MAP sensor, oil temp and pressure sensors and wiring....so rather then just simply install what was required i ripped it all out and decided second time round I could do a better job of wiring it in....and has since sat in its box with the new sensors and bits

Just build the Engine and get it over and done with!@!
