Went over Dickson today.......

FAILED lol which I knew I would. Got kncocked back on minor things

*horn wasn't working (which it did on the way there)

*upper inner control arm bushes

*radius rod bushes

*1xCV boot in front was split

*both rack boots were split

*tyres

And an advisory on noise and height. They are both right on the legal limit

So not too bad at all

Looks Tasty Anfanee. :)

Today I received in the mail...

An Old School Metal Datsun badge that may or may not end up on the SkyWagon and a Spare R31 Auto ECU which may or may not fix the intermittent Fuel Pump Priming issue... Both off Ebay, both very cheap.

I cut up, painted and fitted a piece of PVC pipe to straighten out my air intake.

Played multimeter games with the TPS to try to fix an acceleration flatspot.

Disassembled and cleaned my spare AAC valve and installed it, had to bleed the air out of the cooling system, fiddled with the TPS some more and checked timing again. (still needs more TPS fiddling) :/

Nice straight intake (removed the weirdass bends)

im yet to use dads tools, im sure he would do the same... I don't get why he spend so much on his tool and tool box, he owns a brand new fiestia ST and doesn't work on it, tho he did mention something about restoring a 1955 f100.

I must admit. If my son talked to me like that I wouldn't just lock my tools up. I'd be packing his bags for him and kicking him to the curb :P haha

I feel your pain about a new job. Hard to find decent work with a decent team. Goodluck with the car - hopefully it can come to the next cruise.

Agree with you RoseBud. :yes:

Hmmmm... Make peace with the Old man mate, He has the mechanical Knowledge, the Tools, the ability to make life hard for you and Your Balls in a Vice. :P

as my Dad said many times over... You live under my roof, you live under my Rules.

So the next question....

Are they leather seat covers? Or an actual leather seat? They look nice regardless.

    • I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
