Would have loved to test you at Bathurst buddy, but as I race all year and not able to do one off massive dollar events, you can hone your long lost skills on your own.:blush:

Seeing as how you are going to become my newest competitor, hope you have the balls to compete at every round and have the car to do it.:cool:

Oh and when you eventually find out what I'm up to I'll bet you won't even get to the 3rd round.:bomb_ie:

Cheers

Neil.

Maybe Pete should buy my car and race against you Neil!

That would be close and fun racing emoji3.png

Ryan, Pete wouldn't have the balls to take me on. Apparently he has bought a GTS-T,,, I'm running scared,,,NOT.

Cheryl has now been semi retired, most of my focus is on the Radical.

I have two planned events for the old girl though so she's not getting off being thrashed again.

Saturday night at Bathurst is the official NSW Hillclimb awards night from the past year and Cheryl got this,

She is actually up for sale if anybody is interested.

I haven't actually put anything together about the sale yet, but I will in the coming weeks.

If you are wondering what pricing I would be happy with, start thinking just north of $20 grand for absolutely everything I own relating to her. That means a shit load of spares, wheels, tyres, body panels, engine parts just to scratch the surface.

Feel free to ring me on 0419160561. If you have a private number I won't answer it, just leave me a message with your number and I'll ring you back.

Cheers

Neil.

Cheryl finally called it a day at the Nulon Nats.

After all her state hillclimb championship class wins she decided enough was enough.

Poor girl seeing 9000 grand all the time, I actually feel sorry for her.59bfa0e9c6827_20170728_1106491098.thumb.jpg.d250a92094e7d67cbd6af610f6d35817.jpg

Cheryl's not dead....she's just sleeping until a new engine comes along.

Admit it Neil, she is your favourite child compared to Zoe. She has been so much more loyal and less trouble.

Buggered if I'm playing favourites buddy.

Cheryl's new engine has actually passed the thinking stage,,, 

1st up is a massive head job,,,followed by re-profiled rb26 cams to suit hydraulic lifters.

Cheers

Love the thread neil! Love the amount of effort you have gone to to reduce weight and actually show the individual results of alot of the parts. Im working on my own 33 currently aiming for the 1300 flat mark so your build is great inspiration and gives me hope.

I have a question regarding the power steering, Do you still run it? And if so are you able to share the wiring required to keep it running after removing the hicas/abs ECUs.. thanks

  • 2 weeks later...

Hey Aaron, thanks for reading about her.

Yes I still run power steering, all we did from memory is remove all the rear steer wiring and everything worked properly. 

 

Cheers

Neil.

Wow, it's been 2 years since any posts, lots has changed in our lives, we no longer live in Sydney as we decided to get out and move to the country.  No more working out of a dirty damp 5 x 5 crap enclosed carport that leaked like a sieve with 2 cars in it.  We now have a 7 x 9 proper shed with a 2 car garage as well so I now have race car room for the 1st time in my life. The shed also has some roof space so I have been building the new shed to suit my needs and wants, mezzanine floor, dedicated spots for the girls and lower storage and machining area. That in self is a massive job for an old fart, I have so many parts I really needed room to store everything and trust me it's ongoing.  

The replacement engine is now built, just need to pick it up out of Sydney, shit that means we have to go back there again.

 

I have been very controlled with what I wanted for Cheryl, nothing crazy, I'm still running the factory exhaust manifold and high flowed turbo setup.

funny how you forgot to mention the rb30 swap!

And, if we aren't going to get any car pics, at least you should post up some shed pics :)

Kel mentioned Tamworth round is confirmed cancelled as well? Looks like I'll need to do club rounds at huntley or sdma

    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
