even the GTT isnt far off. i have a pair here that are destined for my better halfs VW. have been thinking about bolting them into my 33 (34 seats are a tad bigger), but they do require a small amount of works.

give me a call first. lately I have not been working on it tat much. trying to do other things that do not cost a lot of $$ to do. harnesses being one of them.

got these today.

R32 GTR I'cooler piping and BOVs. I already have the brackets to mount this stuff. the rear mudflaps and fuse panel cover were an extra bonus.

now to work out what I am missing. I still need a GTR air box and BOV return pipe.

i have just finished reading this, chris mate, this is awesome, i honestly cannot wait to see this in person when you have finished everything, everything is so well thought out and planned, words escape me as to how awesome this build is.

finally spent a bit more time doing small things. drivers door harness has been rebuilt to take a factory door actuator instead of a aftermarket gun type so it will be a bit more reliable.

when I got all the GTR bits off whizzn they came with a GTR key. all the locks went to HA Reed Locksmiths in Albion today to get recoded and a spare key made. should have them back in a few days and that will fix the worn locks as well.

probably going to spend sunday doing another harness.

I'll be dropping off an airbox with some other stuff next week Chris, run out of time today

Only problem with it is that someone in Japan grinded half of the bottom bit away for extra cooling lol but top halfs alright :whistling:

started working on the engine harnesses tonight. that should take a week or so on mucking around and it will be done. my goal is to be able to fire relays with a diagnostic computer attached. if I can do that then the car should run once the engine goes in.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
