just washed mine after a run up the mountain on wednesday (was fithly after it)

got a hose onto it and gave the underside a good spray

i cant belive how much mud/dirt/rocks there were stuck under the side skirts and hiding away in the rear bumper

i reckon about 20kg of dirt came off the underside and i dont think it was all from that one trip

Well picked up my first stag yesterday 97 model and has 25t xfour written on the back got cream leather interior the satelite navigation tv screen in it has a full 3.5 inch TBE and hks turbo timer also has 18inch rims look like volks of some sort but gotta pull them off and have a look and the best part is I picked it up

for two grand with 8 month rego any how will be going in next week to have a new crossmember put in as the one in it is twisted and also will be getting a FMIC and injectors and eboost 2 put in and then have a tune done so will let you know how it all goes.

I changed the timing belt and caused the check engine light to come on.... :D

^^^ oh........pull the globe it will be fine!!! lol

speaking of pulling globes... kidafa not that long ago changed his dash to blue LED's... and didnt put his petrol light globe in properly...

needless to say he got a rather decent mileage to that tank...:D:D

Yesterday:

Hacked up the CF-look centre console plastic to graft an R34 manual shift console onto. But 50% done. All cutting/trimming is done, now I just need to plastic weld it all together and bog up the gaps. Later it all gets covered with some real CF. :bunny: Should be finished by early June.

Touched up/puttied and resprayed my front Aero type M bar.

While I had the bar off, refitted the electric fan in front of the a/c condenser.

Had to remove the FMIC to refit the fan, so I also discovered a 10mm size hole in the intercooler, from a bolt on the chassis rubbing thru. :thumbsup: Fixed it up, refitted and test drove it after. Bit more responsive now :banana:

In the next fortnight, I'll be upgrading my brakes to a 325mm kit. :banana:

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
