Meh... they're just tips, they don't need to seal.

Eventually the muffler and exhaust will likely be replaced.

Speaking of which, I also purchased a 2.25 exhaust with muffler and multiple bends for $10. LOL

Should be a good start to cut and weld into shape. (when MIK has some time) :D

Got some R31 Low Front King Springs from James today (Sir son of rajab Von Van Winkel), need to get motivated to do them and have a crack at doing suspension bushes.

Nolathane - Control arm bushes - Trailing arm bushes (upper and lower) - Pan hard rod bushes & Ball joints have all been acquired.

Might get some Tie rod ends too.

Pedders quoted over $500 to fit the bushes and ball joints on the car or $260 if I take the bits to them.

The end results should be AWESUM though.

Pulled the left front driveshaft out today. I had a split boot :(

It was so badly split I decided to rebuild the outer CV. Pulled it all apart (6 ball bearings, star wheel and case) cleaned them all out and regreased.

Ran outta light, but only have to re attached the caliper and throw on the wheel and then it's back on its wheels :)

Judd, could have been easier and quicker to grab a recon and have removed and put in. $300 all up from memory. Although if you know what's what then it's only time and the boot and grease cheap.

Yea that thought did cross my mind, as well as dropping it somewhere.

Buuut I don't mind getting my hands dirty and learning while I'm at it, and as you know money isnt as free flowing as I'd like ATM :( the boot was an eBay job, and less then half the price of genuine and came with a whole lot of grease. So basically it was my time and $20 bucks

I put my wheels on went to take it for a drive and the driver side was binding up :\ turned out to be surface rust on the disc and the pads stuck to it.

Sorted it out and took it for a quick lap and all seems well. Its now needs a full wheel alignment due to the change of tie rod ends and new bushes in the arms but it definitely feels nicer :)

GREAT SUCCESS

Put the Front King Springs in the Wagz. That's Low Kings all round now and yes the front is now a little lower again. :D

Ball joints are goosed so I just jammed some more grease in there. Will either get new ones pressed in or new Lower Control Arms. $$$

Pulled out the old Lower Control Arm Bushes with a nifty puller I made and put the new Nolathane bushes in. 25 year Old Bushes were Farqued.

Still need to do all the rear Nolathanes but between the fronts and the King Springs SkyWagon Feels Soooo much better / Safer to drive. :bunny:

The change from when I bought her to now is Amazing but still more to come. :thumbsup:

Slow.

Not much time last week to do anything. When i did have time it was freezing cold and i thought getting all wet from sanding wouldnt be nice.

Got back into it last night, did a bit of sanding on the skim putty.

Looking at the door... the crease loses definition around the middle. Also the bottom "fold" is not sanded straight.

I think i can do it by taping a strip of alloy to putty/sand against, and get a nice straight line.

The rest is coming along well, only bonnet and rear guard need work and its not tricky, just more skimming and sanding.

Still haven't fixed my Drivers side mirror after the Goulburn Melt Down so I put my Ganadors on instead.

They don't match properly as they are Black but they look mad nonetheless! ;)

Guess I'll get used to the Tiny Bluish reflections.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
