i'll find a black pair and chop them on and repost

was thinking black but that thread with the jap stageas at the track had a yellow s2 with white wheels and it looked good

Just painted my front headlights!

Chris.

Very nice indeed :3some:

I know a couple of people who want to do that pretty badly :)

Replaced the power steering fluid with Nulon 100% Synthetic ATF, replaced the lower weather shields on the front doors (finally!), gave it a clean yesterday.

Chris.

love it they look fkn great!

Just brought mine back from the car wash...

Oh, and I changed one of the map lights - both were still working, but one was really dim.

Nick stop going all out with ur car dude, or soon ull have to enter autosalon....

i,ve not long had mine, figure i'll wait for things like the turbo to go before spending up on them but it came with r33 four pots on the front, i tinted the taillights and removed the nissan and stagea badges off the rear, got a gps traker alarm with remote shutoff and a blitz cat back exhaust and high flow cat which aren't installed due to the lack of a dump pipe but i's coming lol :)

Yesterday I cleaned the engine bay and gave it a good wash. Today I'm gonna hit it with Mothers Clay Bar and then Meguirs Gold Class Wax. Should look awesome :(

Also, just bought an Innovate wideband O2 sensor that should arrive tomorrow. I'm gonna wire it in to my Vipec ECU and leave it in the car pernamently. Can't wait to play the tune :( Just gonna try and lean out the low-load everyday driving parts in the search of better economy.

just went under mine on the hoist with a torch and a bore scope, and found a few loose fittings, a stuffed tranfer case seal, a loose tailshaft, a leaking coolant seal on the front turbo and a loose front cradle.

Hopefully this afternoon I'll be saying I picked it up with all issues sorted! :(

i finally made a heat shield for my pod

went to foamland (dodgey tassie version of clark rubber)

bought 0.5mx~1.0m of foam with a foil backing for $13.75

got the stanley knife out and started hacking away

ended up with about a .4x.5 m piece left

doesn't look pretty but seals around all the pipes and things well and looks like this:

    • 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.
