Tail light bulb was out so changed em all. Went for a drive out the usual. Point hut crossing, tidbinbilla, cotter, uriarra area. Been too long since I've done that. Always a blast! :woot:

Front bar got hammered by the driveway at Maacas Charnwood.

2 cracks, loose mesh, and a dent in the oil filter.

Faaaark, i should stop driving it around town, im just wrecking it.

Its heaps happier living in my shed getting fixed and modified.

Hmmm.... a mini bull bar and bash plate just at the bottom of the front bar.... maybe that would work.

Then i can gouge out their driveway and watch the sparks fly.

Yeah thats the way to go, time for some welding.

That's a bad one mate. See all the grooves in it.

Can hit on the way in and out.

I take it slow and sideways. Even Standard cars bottom out.

soldered in the new RCA head thingo and due to wash it, had a mud storm this week and it hasn't seen water since.. im going to give it a really good wash before going out to robs place... don't want anyone to see my car this dirty!!

what do you mean getting there.... im, trying to hide my erection ;)

Still not tidy enough and im removing some of the items in there. POD filters are going. New Fuel pressure reg (one that will suit E85) and new hoses.+much more.

the engine was apart and it cost like $400 to paint it. May as well lol

Car is getting hotter than normal (above half way) I presume that's not normal. Trying to bleed the cooling system of any air, still no good. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Blocked Radiator.

Suggest Natrad ^ Could be many things

- When was the last time it was flushed and new coolant

- Thermostat

- Water pump

- Loose belt

- head gasket

- air in the system

- bad tune

- warmer weather

- hard driving/long drive

- leak

Hows the oil temp ?

-

Skyline gauges are generally an indication Ie. 0 50% 100%

So yeah I'd try a full flush and replace coolant. If it is still an issue get it looked at

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
