and basically if i have air turned on so it shoots at the feet - its fine

if i have the air shooting at the face and feet - its fine

however if i have the air shooting just at the face it makes a clicking noise?

whats the deal there?

There is a vent in the heater box.. which is below the entire dash. Have a look at my "how to pull entire dash apart" and "how to replace heater core" to see how to fix it and how it all works. Your actuator for the vent down the bottom inside the box is broken. Thats what the clicking is. I got them off my old box if you like sitting around - $30 and yours.

Zoix: same problem.. just replace the little black actuator (motor) adn you're fine.. its just getting to the bitch which is the problem..

Hey Matty.. you got a place lined up for your paintwork? Do they want to do a skyline group discount?? ;) I want mine done in next 2-3 weeks.

G'Man

A couple of the 'parts' DONT need painting hehehehe :)

When I find a front bar im probably taking it down to this place in southport, they do good work... I'l let you know and maybe we can get some $$$ discounted... Keen?

definitely.. I am now working at Umart with Chris / Nexus9 at southport.. so will be down here a few days each week, and that will be just around the corner.

I just need to pick up my 400R skirts (next few days), then its ready to go to a paint shop.

cool predator and nexus9 work at umart. Me and my cuz buy heaps of pc parts from there, Hes looking at spending about 1.5k worth of shit in the next week or so at your store, can ya give us a discount ;)

we also goto gamedude the prices are awesome but the service sucks ass and they are a pain in the ass about returns so we only deal with umart now.

Well I just peddled my a$$ to GE finance and got $2k more to play with to get the car fixed. Talked to Gav's and he said be very very wary of buying secondhand lower control arms because the brushes are usually stuffed, but new ones he said cost ~$400 from Japan. But I also know Gav does not like to do things half assed, and likes to have everything done properly with good parts, but I dunno, I'd rather have it fixed at gav's but know it will cost a huge amount of mula, but I will have the piece of mind that it is done right.

Plus the bit that comes out of the rack, (tie rod I think??) is bent to the buggery and dont know if the castor rod is bent either, also there is a bit that i am sure looks bent, little thingy bobby, (gotta love my technical talk, hope you get the idea that i really dont know what i am talking about :D)

So here is the delma, do I:

1. Try to go the cheap option, try to get all the parts i _think_ are broken and replace them using the time generously offered by other SAU members, or

2. Take is to Gav's have him replace everything that is broke, plus everything that probably doesnt need immediate replacing, but will in the near future?

What would you do?

Yeah but what happens if we missed something that needs fixing and it ends up breaking and having to go to gav's because i didnt take it there in the first place?

Might just take it there, I'd rather know she's all good rather than wondering if we missed something, or who knows.

I suppose the good thing about gavin is he also knows about suspension parts and the like. So you won't be taking it to a mechanic that just "thinks" he knows what he's doing.

he's told me numerous times that if there's anything with suspension that needs doing to take it to him.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
