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.

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. :blink:

But i did manage to get some stuff done, a bit of fabricating, new steering cooler, getting it together.

She must be happy, you can see her Aura. :D

Tomorrow I pull out the Intercooler and clean all the oils out.

  • Like 1

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.

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.

why you no listen

Z442 which is slightly smaller in diameter and height (in comparison to the Z145a

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.

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.

    • 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.
