Should give it a few days to cure then hit it softly with a hose. Will let you know if it runs without getting fye all in your carpet etc ;)

Yes....it has been a couple of days and is dry to the touch and wont smear when I rub it so will give it another day and then try a dab with a sponge and / or hose idea.

One funky sunset and suddenly my potato wants to become a camera !

Still a potato :/

Also gave the headlights a good clean up since it has been ages since they were done...

This is a close up to show how it has yellowed and lost clarity

HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone !!

Similar to the latter stages of 2014 this year too is going to be pretty low key for Night Fury as I am busy saving up for a new house. Plan to keep it simple and do a few things here and there but nothing major. Famous last words however - HAHA

Picked up a set of stockies from Amir and I owe him a big box of favourites which I had forgotten to take with me when picking them up. Hopefully I will catch up with him on the 22nd of this month when I go to watch him tear up the track. Thank you Amir :)

Giving them a good clean up.

P.S. It is sooooo hard resisting the constant urge to spend a big chunk of the house savings on the car....seriously - massive effort right here !!!!! So many good deals keep popping up...I have so many plans....I miss working on the car etc.

Stay tuned though....another four five months and I will be back with many many many many plans and projects.

good work mate. just enjoy ti as it is for now and keep dreaming.

I now got a GTR and am doing the same as you saving for a house deposit. and man. so many awesome deals coming up as you said so hard to resist hahaah.


Keep up the good work :D

I am back folks ! Wooohooo :)

 

Picked up a set of tail lights with tinted lens (thanks Gav). Going to get some LEDs as I suspect the exisiting globes might not cut it in bright daylight with the degree of tint on it. Then paint and will be ready to swap with the current set.

Should be different and blend into the black better (though I do kind of like the red circles constrasting against the black paintwork)

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
