In the last week or so I've also managed to go from, this: Ey2MEoa.jpg

To, this: xrQrspF.jpg

Along the way I also discovered the source of my clonking noise, which turned out to be a completely shagged lower left hand control arm.

Lh/LCA: aIv8yP0.jpg

In the next coupe weeks I'm expecting to have that replaced with a new LCA and then I can start fitting up the rear brakes and my new 4.11 2way cusco Diff ;)

Nick are you trying to work out price for insurance purposes?

personally id be going agreed value minimum of 20k.

its a custom car, "paint work" wheels, suspension, engine conversion, mods to conversion.

gotta think about what it will cost you to replace it.

Last one i know of that got sold went for more than 20k, therefore worth more than 20. Typical pom!

my micra is worth 3k.

so i put a turbo and 2-3 grands worth of work into it and its worth 10?

your talking shit matt.

cars worth 5. engine is worth 2-3. labour... no idea.

f**king 20 grand. have a word with yourself.

    • 75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
    • Trailer prep is underway... Lined up the wheel to get a rough indication of how it would sit Then removed all the bits (as far as possible) and gave the frame a light sand and quick lick of paint   Then added some carpet
    • okay, so I figured this out, removed needles and reinstalled after swapping the gauge face on my triple gauge for my ER34, all work and look good. I tried to do the same for the main cluster, but the main cluster gauge faces are dished, the replacement gauge face are flat, so due to the dish in the org face ,mounting backing plate (clear) and depth of the needle, the flat gauge face will not work. I notice that R34 gtr gauges are flat, appears to be different clear backing plate that aren't dished. are these available, or what have others done to install flat gauge faces?
    • Cheers mate. Seems some people get lucky others don't. It looks like the motor was detonating (to be expected if it was overboosting I suppose) as the pistons had a lot of detonation damage, and the bearings were stuffed. The bores were very scoured too, not sure if that's from the pistons or bits of ceramic turbo. By the by now. Have been trying to avoid the rabbit hole too much on the rebuild, and there's been a few hurdles along the way, but with any luck I'll have the car back soon™. Might even pop up a thread then.  
    • Thanks, these seem to lay it out a bit differently. I will get back to you guys after i do some tests and more digging.
