Piping came off yesterday.

Once I've had breakfast get to those annoying bolts on the turbo flange one or 2 of them have come loose.

Explains why car bogs down not enough air on boost being pushed through

Finally.....

The skylines been stranded there with a jammed wastegate for about 2 months.

Now i can roll it back onto level concrete and get under it.

Now im not using the garden shed as a workshop ill make a Kudos order on monday to get the other bits i need. Then the fun begins.

My poor old back needs a rest though.

>_<

Rims soon... If not today, defs before Sunday.

Have you got your Airbox yet? Gonna fit it up?

I washed mine yesterday morning but the Golfball sized beetle that hit my windscreen at 110km/hour kinda ruined the effect. :laugh:

Conditioning and charging the battery, its been sitting for so long, i hope its going to hold a charge properly.

Moved all the important stuff into the new garage, parts are coming, i can start serious work on the car soon.

Cant wait to get it back on the road.

Oh yeah

Thanks Richard :D

Sick! ShitBox Stealth Mode. :ninja: I must contribute towards this! Not cashed up just now though - soon. :D

Richard if you need to get ARC filters, get in touch with Andrew "kudos.motorsports" - give him the dimensions and he might have some on the shelf. (I got mine through him)

or

If you want K&N filters get on the K&N site and you can find appropriate filters by inputing dimensions! The one for to fit mine is for a BMW X6.

    • 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.
