Ordered a bilstein revalve kit for my shagged front shocks: hopefully it will mean the end of my bump-steering issues: it will hopefully arrive and be fitted on Monday. Watch this space :)

Just ordered clutch line,flywheel to crank bolts,flywheel to pressure plate bolts and a clutch line

picking up Thursday

then all I need is a flywheel (can't get in contact with the seller) and a spare day!

Nearly 5 speed,can't wait!

Fitted adjustable rear upper arms on Saturday (had them sitting there destined for the 32).

With a lot less camber at the back and some toe adjustments all round, she drives like a dream!! Also has significantly more traction (tested in 2WD in the wet yesterday :))

Pulled the LSD centre out of the old 32 diff yesterday and chucked a couple of bigger thrust washers in there, as soon as I can get a day off work I'll book her in to have the LSD centre swapped in (don't want to do it myself as it will need to be shimmed for backlash).

My bad, it's not easy being green(ieo) you know... :P

realised that m35 cooling system parts are expensive.. i shouldve got a complete custom rad made up instead of a custom ally top tank (original plastic had blown an oring then cracked), ended up costing virtually half as much as a whole custom rad!

scratched one of my side skirts coming home from work, was leaving a driveway and BAM, said a few curse's and got out and had a look,

scratch on the back part of my days left skirt... so angry, hope i can give it a bit of a sand and then paint it with my chipstick!

I took apart and re-assembled my dashboard today, in an attempt to sort out my crazy indicator issue. More information here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Fl...an-t334343.html

Put my N/A grille on today, & put in the Carbon fibre look dash vents & map light today when I got home from the Sunny Coast. The Apexi AFC Neo is waiting on the Apexi ECU Harness before it goes in, & should hopefully get the ARC FMIC in tomorrow.

And my Hyper Rev Stagea mag rocked up in the mail today!!

Which grille did you get? Pic

Took the 25G to Kin Kin and back. 486 kms 48 litres. Lots of Freeway but a lot of B2B also. Very pleased with result.

Can recommend the N/A for anyone who needs it for P platers. It is still a Wagon with attitude. LOL

    • 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.
