Oath. That seriously is nothing. They aren't even bent!

Any wheel repair shop half their worth can fix that easy, and it wouldn't be that expensive either which is good.

I've seen heaps worse than that!

Loaded my ARX onto a truck to go back back to Sydney for warranty repairs. Ahh living in the country fresh air, the mountain views and no bastard has the slightest idea what is what if it is if not a smelly falcodore!

Now waiting to see how many scractches and chips the spotless paint gets in transit. (Still)

Nice.. what's the torry got in it?

that torrie is the spare car, it runs a big port 253, trimatic and straigh out pipes, throwing it together to attck some hill climb events next year for fun. we bought it as a parts car for the wifes Lh 4 dr. and then scored the driveline for free so i've painted it and i'm in the process of putting a cage in it.

the other torrie is a SLR mock up, 308, 288 cam, vn heads and rods, flat tops, turbo 350 trans, 9 inch rear end, 330mm front discs with 4 piston calipers. that one is currently at the chassis shop getting seam welded from fron to rear.

now you see why i need a hoist!

mine is the aluminium "race" jack, should have been $200 cos its reduced to clear (don't sell enough of them)

just adjusted my handbrake on each hub and put some stop squeak on the back of the pads while i was there

i adjusted the handbrake from memory, is it tight till the rotor wont move then back off 6 clicks?

[pipster11]

also

if anyone wants a specific page of the workshop manual with the characters recognized just pm me and i'll send you them

i left my computer slaving away for a few days and i think it converted most of the images into a searchable document

so now it can be translated into ingrish by google translate

Have you put the swaybars on?! should have been the first job for the new hoist!

nope. got called in to work early on friday and then had to fit my new whitewalls to my dodge this arvo, it was on the hoist already.

and then i got lazy and fell asleep on the couch.

They'll probably get fitted in between getting my towabar fitted monday morning and and going to metallica monday night. hopefully!

Retrofitted m35 stagea arx turbo actuator on hks gtrs turbo on the r33 - andys turbo saved the day.

found boost cut solonoid and disconnected it and now running proper ramping and auto duty cycling from the gizzmo without creep or boost drop off between gear changes.

retarded timing via cam angle sensor.

took off entire cooler and piping and front bumper inspected piping replaced silicon reducer to cooler that was split. gave cooler water test for leaks.. all good.

modified the plastic rubber intake pipe as it was squeezing in on itself under high boost to turbo with a stainless pipe. - because of this stock bov had to go ..and was blocked off for the time being to keep idle - with a plumbing one way valve- lawl. yes theres flutter.

Put in new ngk 7res plugs as previous owner had 6res in there and it was jumping spark to the side of plugs ..they were black as. (confirmed it had the blue spitfires in there .. he wasnt lying

Put in 4 litres of royal purple 5-40watt oil.

Degreased the entire engine bay.

Swapped out the 18's for 17' stagea m35 rims.. (18s tyres were like dragway slicks and total cop bait)

Ripped off rhs front panel that was dented and replaced with spare black gt panel.

Replaced dented mud gaurds on rhs.

wheel alignment monday and camber reset ..i dare say its out heaps as the hicas is going spazzo

pics to come.

mods to come -coil overs (the first thing - anyone know good sources?) ,sard fpr, sway bars , new front bushers , nismo lsd diff

proper plenum , z32 afm and 650cc injectors , , power fc is sitting on the garage floor (with tune) - new bonnet .. this one is mad dented

car was purchased 3 days ago and wouldnt even do a skid.. now kicks at 80!

Not today, but pulled intake plenum and stack off and clean out with brake clean/petrol. Sludge free!

Replaced ribbed intake rubber with silicon joiner.

Next mission, catch can so oil blow by doesn't go back into intake.
