Haha I got my cars bodykit done with greg! Great guy, gives tons of help and support - i still need to get my skirts repainted pinch.gif

Haven't had time to be without my car for so long, itll prob have to wait till the next bunkzilla comes in so i have something to get around in

And thanks so much! Ill contact Greg :)

Mates rates definitely apply if you ever need a detail cheers.gif

Also - JDMWA Cruise #4? I should be there, hopefully I can finish the detail on Colins 34 Sedan earlier that day itself

But will be good to cruise together at last!

And btw I still think the 33 looks mad tough without a spoiler - but the gt-r spoilers definitely an improvement!

hahahaa.....:thanks: Ricky....you should talk to the guy I bought it off :devil:

My next project was already on its way before she went in for the turbo swap and wing.....

So continuing that now...Sand back and repaint the window linings thingos.........

DSCN0524-2.jpg

Sand back and repaint..:unsure:

its rubber dude, it looks cracked too

just go ask a windscreen place to replace it..

might cost 50-100$ but will look better than new

can a windscreen place do like the rubber trimming on the door/glass there too? mine are fudged

sorry to hijack thread action-smiley-069.gif

ok im pretty sure that is not rubber......??? does not seem like it...yes a bit of it is missing etc...but thats only on the back....

and if it is it is one hell of a "hard bit of rubber".....oh and I painted the front and sides and they look perfect :nyaanyaa: This was done about 6 - 8 months ago and they still fine...so ??? Also when I sanded them back they dont break up or act like rubber..they act like a solid bit of something....so yeah???

And water does not get in etc..coz I wash my car once a week AT THE VERY LEAST...on a bad OCD week she will go through 3 washes !!!

yeah its rubber..just really old hard brittle rubber...I know caus I tried to remove it an failed, i also asked the windscreen guy about replacing it when he did my front...:thumbsup:

:domokun: bad me then.....oops !!

BUT...seeing how it works fine...and the paint doesnt fade / get absorberd / spoil anything...im going to do it anyway....coz im bored and love doing rubbish anyway..hahaha...and worst case scenario I will change them later on...but I doubt it..coz its been fine for nearly a year

Thanks "ARTZ"...dont tell anyone...tat can be our little secret !! lol

Update:

Got myself some nismo 550cc side feed injectors off Andrew (guy on here).

Look like this :teehee:

IMG_8475.jpg

Ordered a z32 AFM and picking up the pin from KYP.

So car goes in on Tuesday morning for a tune...and if everything goes well....we will be turning up the boost and finally making some decent power :devil: :devil:

they arent R33 RB25 injectors. they are top feed and will require a different fuel rail

hahahaa.....good spotto "TiTAN" :thumbsup: (you just had to rub it in didnt you....jus coz i forgot to take a pic of it before dropping it off at the tuners)

Lazy me just googled it..n put the first pic up !! BUT in my defence..i said "look like" this...... :nyaanyaa:

OK OK......sigh....they look similar to this >_<

aaa.jpg

Some pics I took of the car after the wing was put on................converted them to black and white coz it was such a sunny day you cant really see the kit otherwise :geek:

DSCN0559-Copy.jpg

I love this next one in particular...for some strange reason :wub:

DSCN0560.jpg

The cars looking good man,the wing looks great thumbsup.gif

If you're worried about those screws sticking out,just use countersink screws if you don't mind drilling out a bit off your end caps.

Thanks Anth....will look into that.....though they dont seem to bug me :thumbsup: YET !!!

Update:

Bought a z32 afm off Nathan (Room42) on here this evening...:thanks: mate....also went for a drive in his stock looking..but loud screaming beast :worship: Gt35r for the win

So car goes in Monday for fitting of the injectors, afm..and tune

    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
