I need to find a cheaper than a $1000 Carbon Fibre bonnet with no ricey vents,,,maybe a cheap S2 factory or a fibreglass bonnet. It will be painted so if anybody has one thats needs some work I'm your man.

Cheers

Yea bonnets are a bloody pain,,,I only just missed out on a slightly damaged Carbon Fibre one from Just Jap,,,Duncan sent me this joint,,,very ricey place,,,but it might be worth a look for you. I'll keep my ear out to the ground for you,,,you need a S1 don't you?.

Sweet thanks yer my car is a series one, the bonnets are very cheap I will let you know if I get one. I just want something light with minimal vents and shit.

Have you had a look at www.musecret.com.au

I believe they may have what you are after and most of them are under 1000

The mail man's been getting a work out lately and so has ebay. I paid $271 landed saving $108 bucks. Roll cage foam here I come.

Pity seats are so bloody expensive to ship,,,looks like they will be a local buy.

Cheers

Neil.

hey Neil, your steering wheel is not round. how do you expect to do sick drifting?

any progress this weekend?

Correct Duncan my new wheel is not round,,,did you what to drift Cheryl???.

No actual work on the car this weekend,,,Nice to have a rest,,,lots of researching work done though.

I can tell anybody that wants to know that buying roll cage foam out of the States at a good price isn't going to happen. Unless you want it sea freight(12 to 16 weeks). This was looking great,,,till we had a talk about shipping.

I've decided on an ECU for the moment,,,we are going power fc

Cheers

Neil.

Picked this up tonight,,,I spent literally hours on the net looking for a good one,,,found one on e-bay that I liked only to be out-bid in the last 15 seconds,,,sucked in to whoever beat me,,,you paid to much money.

Hge disappointment,,,so I logged onto SAU and what was sitting in the "New Posts" another bloody PFC. Quick call and sold,,,nice bloke to boot with some really cool Staffie dogs and pups. He made 230 kilo's so it will have a good starting point.

This will do for a while as I really do want motec.

With an LMA-3 Data Logging Kit...

PM me if you would like to make an offer. It's just sitting at my Dad's house. I'd say replace the O2 sensor with a new one, as O2 was always in the dump pipe, but unit was rarely connected...

Lemme know and I'll try bring it on Sunday.

Nice,,,but at this stage,,,a simple cheap system will do for the time being if I even bother. While it would be great,,,in my big picture using Motec will do everything I need after the engines are done. The entry level M84 at rrp of $2420 is great value I think.

Cheers

Neil.

Wow I want that ECU!

More pics are need though Neil!

Here you go mate,,,the price I posted was out of Auto Action last week.

Spent Saturday,,,researching again. I'm chasing a 2nd gearbox so I can run an after-market gear set. Bloody hell every bastard wants them,,,for SR powered cars and VL's. $1500 for a second hand un-known one is serious rubbish money,,,I'll keep looking but,,,I've just about decided that I have 2 options,,,ask in our wanted section for a crunchy one or look at importing a car.

Sunday,,,started at 8.30 and had to stop at 2.00pm,,,I'm getting way to old to put in a full day in this heat. I started with cleaning up again,,,it's so easy to make a mess. I decided I needed to start covering the holes left after the sound-deadening fun we had. I found 3 of the 4 big steel plugs and after removing 5mm of crap off them,,,I welded them in. I couldn't find the 4th one so we ventured down to Clark Rubber to buy some rubber grommets to block the firewall holes,,,floor holes and the hycass hole in the boot,,,or should I say I bent over and got raped. $40 buck for 13 grommets just isn't fair,,,What would they cost them,,,20 cents each. Anyway as Mel said on the way home,,,"You needed them so cop it on the chin my love".

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
