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.

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.

    • Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA
    • All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.      
    • roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.
