Finished polishing the SkyHatch (by Hand), Vac and a little Armor All.

Drove out and got the Fusebox Cover from the previous owner and he found the Gutter strip that was missing also. (needs some beating and clips before reattach)

Owner was Well Impressed with the change that has happened in the last week. The Daughter took a pic and nearly wanted to buy her poor old "Franky" back.

Fanky aint no more lady. Ruby Red Foo SkyHatch lives here now. :D

I think maybe the 34 may go tomorrow too :(

I've reduced it down to $11,900 *cry*

Not sure what the next project is yet .....

but the GTR is going to be getting stuff done soon :D

not many buying anything at the moment.

34's been up for a while now then outta the blue I get a genuine caller

(so many tire kickers and low ballers who pretty much just mess you around)

PIA selling cars

Washed the Dark Blue Pulsar cause Dark Blue and washed the Red one cause it was parked next to it. :D Feels So Smooth.

My Apologies for making it rain. :/

Also got the stereo working. It was actually the tiny (barely visible) fuse in the back was blown. Sounds Quite good.

Filled up with Shell 91. Let the Economy Stats commence. ;)

Nice Work Chris! :thumbsup: I'm yet to have a crack at it but soonish.

Replaced a split Crankcase Breather hose and Cleaned and unblocked a related Vac Hose.

Also took off the tiny Airbox Snorkel for extra breathing / induction noises. :laugh:

SkyHatch Rego Inspection Done...

Despite having:

Exhaust Manifold Stud Missing (Big Exhaust Leak)

Front and Rear Engine Mounts / Dampers Stuffed

Drivers CV joint Stuffed

None of which were mentioned except CV Boot split (advisory)

It Failed, but only for a Split Brake pedal Rubber and a L/H lower Balljoint. :woot:

Advisories are: L/H Outer CV Boot, Oil Leak and a Rusty Tailpipe.

Already replaced the Pedal Rubber for $5.75 from Repco, received a manifold gasket in the post today off Ebay and will get a pair of Balljoints off Ebay and DIY them.

oh and I'm gonna fix the Engine mounts with SIKAFLEX and will get a pair of CV joints later on plus chop off the rusty tailpipe. :D

When I used to have my old n14 pulsar dad and I used to just replace the whole half shaft because it was easier and less fiddly haha!

Hate CV Joints with a passion :verymad:

Nxt Project came around faster than I planned.

Peeps had been asking and I was thinking neve again but ....

1999 White N15 Pulsar LX. Needs some luv but should scrub up k.o.

It's Shawty's new daily and pretty much a fuel miser ride (1.6 Auto)

Since he was a little boy

Richard loved fixing cars,

Up first in the morning

He was still going under the stars,

If they seem a little old

Or a little unwanted these days,

Just give it here, I’ll fix it

Youse will be amazed,

As long as she goes

I’ll never come unstuck,

A service, some polish & tyre black

And it’s all good .. I’ll make a buck.

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
