So time came to install reconditioned diff as the old one seemed to be a bit of a 1 wheel wally anyway.

Sandblasted crap off backing plate.

Opened up old diff. Oil was pretty bad with heaps of shit in it.

201202272220231200x9001330527311.png

Rear piece of Drive shaft has reinforcement that doesnt seem to be factory and had 2 stickers on it with "JR" on them.

All done :)

Next up is Headlight restoration hopefully tomorrow then Painting Calipers next week.

201202271808531200x9001330527311.png

Y u no Impul front bar? Also JR stickers are factory. Nfi what it's for but they all have em.

I only had a few choices through insurance but then found a company making copy kits in Brisbane for very cheap. But then at that time it was too late.

But for me, this bar is far better looking than impul bar could ever be. So when i get a full respray in the distant future i will buy an Impul bar and have that trial-fitted and sprayed and then keep it as a spare for when i sell the car.

Front bar is looking tops mate, much nicer than the one that was on there when you first got it.

Cheers man :)

Yeah true that. The style doesn't suit the kit nor does the colour suit the style...

So finally got round to doing my headlights a few days ago :D

Guess i also might post up my video from the Skyline Sound thread in the Skyline section.

Location is in description ;)

Every time I see this thing I regret buying a coupe.

How much was the headlight restore kit?

Yeah i regretted it, especially seeing as i prefer 4 doors. Was just a silly opportunity that i took up. To me they look too big and long for a 2 door vehicle from the 90s,bit cramped and 4 doors handle better because of more overhang in the rear. i Found the 2 door to be quite snappy with loss of traction compared. Only thing i loved about it was Rims,Exhaust and Sunroof and i kept rims and exhaust aha. Loved the sunroof but because the 2 door roof is lower than 4 door to start with and im 6 foot tall my head was touching the roof with a sunroof setup lol.

Mind you yours looks pretty nice in a stock form with rims and no wing :)

I payed $43 at Autobarn. Just walked in the door and they had them on the front desk, payed and left.

If you look around you might be able to find it cheaper and i think its on ebay for 39. Some places have higher prices like Repco about a year ago wanted $51.

Works a treat every time(Have used on 3 R33s so far ;) ) lasts a long time because of uv protective film you wipe onto it and it doesn't take long to do.

Yeah I'm happy with how mine looks (thanks.gif), could be a bit straighter, oh well.

My next one will have the correct amount of doors. whistling.gif

Yeah I tried the Turtle Restoration Kit (payed about the same as your kit) and I don't think I was aggressive enough with the sanding and it needs doing again. I'll have to remember when they get really bad to try the Invision Kit.

Sounds good bro :)

Yeah definitely this kit bro. Its the bomb!

With the diff re furb did they just reshim it or something else and approx how much to have this done please?

Also, you still have the hicas? Is it on the list to go?

My Mate bought the diff with a halfcut engine last year from a wreckers. Dont think it was shimmed but upon opening it, it had definitely been reconditioned.

Yeah Hicas is still rocking i think.

Not buzzed by it really as im no drifter.

I love how well a skyline can come up after a decent headlight touch up. Makes it look like a hole new car.

Yep :) Everytime!

Third skyline to just stand back and go "wow!"

Cars looking tidier and tidier. Agree on the sunroof comment above, thought about taking sunroof out of parts car for the taxi but I'm 6" as well and it felt pretty cramped with the sunroof.

Yeah prenty of room in a 4 door without aye.

just like a meth addict needs his fix, this car makes me need a 33 4 door

Aha cheers :P

mate,

awesome thread... fantastic car and great persistence!!! top effort. Looks amazing!

Thanks mate, really appreciate it :)

    • Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?
    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
