Sau A.c.t. - What Did You Do To Your Car Today?

[Got a Pulsar]

Not sure about the 'slap' .... as with women I often found a gentle caress in the right spot could create a spark.

could be moisture in the joint

LOL! *Mental Note* Rub the interior til she lights up and releases moisture.

Got it. Thank you Gentlemen.

.... pleasure mate.

Anyone know how I might attack these wheels...? It's strange. You can't actually feel the crap on the surface..

I almost want to sand it haha. But don't want to damage them

[Got a Pulsar]

Speedy!!! Same brand as the SkyHatch Rims.

Abrasives : Cutting compound, Toothpaste or Finer and finer Wet Sanding.

Acid: Lemon juice or Vinegar may be worth a try.

[dontyellpl0x]

Thanks Rob! Will try some of those!

[GTRKat]

Sat in mine and procrastinated... Decided I didn't want to drill holes in it so I've ordered an additional bracket to mount the fire extinguisher.

Bout time I put one of those in!

[k_d]

Yeah a worthwile investment. Fingers crossed it never gets used!!

[GTRKat]

Yep, I may even put another in the boot at some point but this is the minimum I need for the type of events I enter.

Trimmed some of the rubber intake pipe where it had perished through and put a better hose clamp on it and wiped out the throttle body while I was there.

Tightened the rocker cover bolts slightly, wiped up a little oily dirt around it and tightened a few clamps around the place.

Attached the grill properly cause one of the clips was not sitting properly.

Applied a few cable ties here and there in the bay and cleaned the terminal for the Temp Gauge Sensor.

Pulled out the Back Seat, I didn't find any treasures but found there was an unopened Beer in with the Spare Wheel and $2.15 in coins under the passengers seat.

Found a remote for the stereo but the Stereo isn't working ATM and I need to find a Fuse Box Diagram as the lid is missing.

Adjusted the striker plates so the drivers side doors sit flush.

SkyHatch Rocks!

Abrasives : Cutting compound, Finer and finer Wet Sanding and a polish.

Good enough for me

Looks the Goods Chris! :thumsbup:

What's the best method? I've never tried the mild acids myself but I'm curious to have a go.

After umming and ahhing I decided to go straight for the wet sand because it was pretty bad.

I had previously tried soft steel wool but that wasn't good enough.

Soaking the wheel nuts in coke overnight meant I could just wipe all the corrosion away off of those

I imagine if I had enough coke to do the wheels the same thing would happen.

Been SkyHatchin'.

Today I changed the Oil (Penrite), Filter and Fuel Filter.

Yesterday I chucked some Nulon Intake Cleaner thru and a bottle of Nulon Injector Cleaner.

Also Set the Timing to Factory Spec (10⁰ BTDC), checked ECU for Fault Codes (had 3 which I think I caused by unplugging things) but I'll reset and see.

and cause it's Easier than on an RB, I did a Compression test. All 4 near 120 psi. Not sure if this is Low but at least they are very similar.

Put a spare Relay in an empty socket and now the Thermo Fans work and I twiddled the Elecky plug for the Rear Window washer and it now works too.

Known things that will need fixing:

Rear Garnish needs some glue on one of the mounts.

Rear Demister wire has come away from the glass.

1 exhaust mani stud is gone.

1 or both driveshafts are noisey (CV joints).

Front engine mount is broken.

Door locks will need replacing as they have had a screwdriver forced into them.

Needs a good degrease underneath too. (hopefully nothing too major oil leak wise).

Nice work Rob, beats my effort ..... I installed a very nice K&N air filter ... oh well, I tried!!

The shitty fuel from the other week seems to be almost out of its system.

More goodies arrived the other day...

And Installed Braided Radiator overflow line.

Engine bay is starting to sit really nicely. Still heaps more work to do

[k_d]

Pics or its not true

[Anfanee]

Shit quality as was taken at like 10 at night but you get the idea.. If the sun was out today i'd get some decent shots as it's at work with me but alas it was not meant to be

[GTRKat]

What's the bet if I take mine out today it's going to rain?

Bracket for fire extinguisher is on board with driver so should arrive today.

I had another crazy idea, I might install my brand new door cards on the weekend. Still in boxes and plastic from Nissan!

Well mine is out of the garage so if you do i think it will be a karma overload. Though the weather just says cloudy today.

Pics of said doorcards?

[GTRKat]

Yep. I need to do some driving this weekend to use my fuel up, want fresh fuel for next weekend.

Will take some if I pull them out to put them in. They're all boxed and wrapped up. Brand new and perfect though.

Next thing I need to buy for the interior is these as mine are well f**ked! http://www.kudosmotorsports.com/catalog/genuine-nissan-pitwork-cpillar-interior-trim-set-nissan-skyline-r32-gtr-gts-gts25-gts4-gtst-door-p-1557.html
