D.I.Y. Mik Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Got my rear tyres fitted, 255, 40, 17. Must massage the guards out a little more, 10-15mm. Got the box made last night, to cover my wiring mess. fits good, and i didnt snap it this time as ive made it stronger. All the little hoses and bits connected up, now i have to make some bits to mount the oil and pwr steering coolers properly. And then more stuff to make properly, no more bodgy brackets with rivets and stuff. Radiator top brackets are going to be tricky to make look good.

D.I.Y. Mik Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Gave my back a good twist this morning, so i was like an old man all day. Last nights chilli & pepperoni added to the effect. But i did manage to get some stuff done, a bit of fabricating, new steering cooler, getting it together.

Got a Pulsar Posted October 5, 2013 Author Share Posted October 5, 2013 Looking Tidy Mik! Installed my catch can, put on a Freshly painted Black Valley cover and also a black painted turbo heatshield. She must be happy, you can see her Aura. Tomorrow I pull out the Intercooler and clean all the oils out. 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/415573-sau-act-what-did-you-do-to-your-car-today/page/102/#findComment-7053138 Share on other sites More sharing options...
azathoth Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 (edited) Cleaned out the back seats and floor mats and door cards with the shampoo vacuum. This was the result. Also pulled out my 02 sensor to have a look at at, Looks to be the original one =\. Hopefully my new one rocks up before I go back to work on Thursday. If the weather is good tomorrow i'll knock up some brackets and fit my greddy oil cooler. I keep thinking my car is all good then i see the front =\ Fingers crossed the panel shop calls me before friday so i can get it fixed.

azathoth Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Fitted the oil cooler. Lines took ages to run because we couldn't work out where they were meant to go then found a picture online. Just need to get a smaller diameter oil filter because the z145a fouls on the sandwich plate. Once i find a filter that fits I can start it up and check for leaks and relocate one of the horns and the air temp sensor.

D.I.Y. Mik Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Re fitted my oil lines today, its a messy difficult job cutting the hoses and re fitting an end on each one.

D.I.Y. Mik Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Finished the engine bay finally. Took a lot longer than i thought it would. Thats the problem with too many mods, you have to work it out yourself, how its all going together. Pipe didnt fit, things have moved about 15mm, lucky i had some extra bits to make it work. A transmission cooler off a ford at the wreckers, nice and solid, for a return line fuel cooler behind the diff. And $115 delivered, cheapest i could find, made in taiwan. Old and new.
