Small update.......

A friend / club member of mine had diagnosed an issue with the clutch cooling fan..........the clutch fan was moving within the cooling fan not from side to side but forwards and backwards.............needless to say it had to get fixed.

So I took that step today.

After much debate and swearing in three different languages I managed to remove the cooling / clutch fan without removing the radiator cooling shroud (yes it's all possible)

I didn't go unsaved though

Can't wait to see what it looks like. But should that little much more brighter :)

Been busy paint stripping the rear bumper

post-5053-13943460057865_thumb.jpg anyone know how to remove the paint from the bottom bit? It's rough like the front bumper lip so very difficult to remove cleanly.

Also thought I'd tackled the shit spot welding on the back RHS rear quarter panel

All smoothed out with my trusty powerfile

Next will be a little sanding and then I will paint the rear panel in crystal white to make it nice and clean ;)

Are you going to do anything with the spot welds you grinder back? Wouldn't be much straight left in the welds, if there's any weld left. I can't tell exactly where it is on the car. Thought about some stainless rivets, or rewelding it completely?

nah mate, the way theses spot welds have been applied is pretty full on and there is enough of it left on the car to keep everything nice and strong.

Should I feel the need for more bracing I would spot weld the entire car but it's not necessary...........for now

Spent all day at work reading this start to finish. Amazing. So awesome to see people like you restoring cars and spending so much money for nothing but the best! Love it! One day i'll own a '94 32 GTR V Spec II but for now, my Evo 8 MR will do :P

Keep up the good work!

Will get some LEDs for the reverse lights as well attachicon.gifImageUploadedBySAU Community1394346759.691514.jpg they are E4's by the looks of it

ive just done all the LED in my car Ants. PM me if you need the exact globe....

thank you very much mate. It's comments like this ^ that keep me going.

There are lots of good bits indeed.

But just a little correction it's not a V-spec it's just a late 94 model GTR :)

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
