This Sounds Promising^^^ Sup Mang? :thumbsup:

Drove the 4door to work today. LAST DAY!!! :banana:.-`Holidays`-. :banana:

(hasn't been driven much cooz SkyWagon)

Fuel pump was pretty noisey when I got home, (Dark Car/Hot Fuel) also was hunting at idle... Related?

Damn I love that car. :D

If I got too excited then this would happen I assure you. They love my skyline music, well they look at it a lot when I drive past in it, I think they are trying to fully concentrate on the sweet sweet sound

Didnt do anything today, just a couple of photos of what i did last week:

Dunno about that upper front bracket, it doesnt seem safe for non race days.

Because the bar fits in the back, theres no padding there. However thats the place your head would hit in a front ender.

Its a long way away, but in a crash, seatbelts stretch and cars bend, so.... its probably not safe.

I might have to scrap the window net idea, and save it for when i put a cage in there.

And i just butchered the trims to do it.......... >_<

Partly inspired by RoseBud, I bought and changed Oil, Oil filter and Fuel filter on the SkyWagon.

also bought coolant, maybe tomorrow I'll do a coolant Flush and change diff oil... maybe. :)

So far today in the name of SkyWags I...

Bought a new Thermostat and Gasket.

Bought a large bottle of demineralised water to add to yesterdays coolant purchase.

Bought some Exhaust cement.

Twiddled with the timing again.

Found at least 1 exhaust leak.

Tried to unbolt the Cat. Failed. (24 year old rusty)

Cleaned some under bonnet stuff.

Fastened the intake pipe better.

Might clean it a little more...

Still waiting to receive in the post...

Extractors, Swaybar Bushes, Temp sensor adapter.

Good Times. :D

    • 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.
