All good man, maybe next time, you need to get onto the " Midnight Garage " bandwagon lol.

In good news, I'm getting S CLUB LIPS copys made, I'm talking with Kyle @ Kmak Aero and I'm giving him my lip and we'll go from there, so if you know anyone who wants a rare as funk pussy magnet s club lip for laurel then let them know, then let me know so i can get a certain made for a certain $$.

This weekend, the " Midnight Garage " got together at my place, Oh yeah double garage mo f**ker.

We worked on Iains R34, pulled his China turbo setup off, lets just say i reckon a 2 year old baby could of gone better. Looked at my mates XR6 Turbo ute Diff, well had a listen and some sort of a guestimate of what we all think it is. Funny how a recently new highly productive car, all the parts are funking expensive as.

Then of course we had work to do on the Laurel, Thursday night i borrowed some 30mm bolt on spacers for the fronts, was up untill all hours getting measurements for clearance, full lock etc and they were by far poking to much, Friday I went to Capalaba found this guy on Ebay and picked up brand new pair of 20mm bolt on spacers for $50 bucks! Got home that night put them on the right side and then couldn't be funked and just thought i'd leave till Sunday. So on Sunday we worked on the Laurel, Will the genius of geo metrics offered to lower and camber and make it hella flush so i just got to sit back and drink beer and watch my next door neighbours cut there grass with sizzors....... f**king asians. So it begin, got the rears sorted, there sitting on the lip on inside of guard but will get them lipped and it will sit good! Moved onto fronts, played around with the camber, fixed the toe out as it was chunking through the s14 stocks and fitted the VSKFs and went low. It tucks nice, no guard work needed so f**k yeah.

The laurel had a hesitation while under full thottle, so we got together in a group and pulled each other off while gracefully giving our opinions, Ben aka my muscles said its your AFM, we all thought fueling problem, anyway we pulled Iains AFM off his neo and put it in and it ran alot better. Will and i drove up to burpengary picked up an AFM, got back plugged it in and it now runs alot better, it also had no hose clamps on vacum lines so picked a few up and got that sorted aswell, there is a slight hesitation on full throttle but we just think thats due to it running like that for so long it probably needs a tune but im just going to wait for the overhaul when i get ecu and what not put in.

changed a fuel filter

yeah thats about it. Pretty good weekend as always working into the night finishing up at 1-2am as always, i'm picking up a 180sx cradle tuesday with r200 and half shafts so next weekend thats going in with hopefully a slight shim, its a 4.11 ratio which is alright, would love 4.3 but it'll do untill my 2 way.

my driveway is officially a flamin mongrel, my car is no longer practical but its great!

i shouldn't buy things that arn't needed but i couldn't help myself and especially for the price i paid shipped from JP, should have them 4-8 weeks

yeah all i need is ECU and clutch, ill get clutch next pay check and ecu will be a drag out haha.

just couldnt say no for $300 posted in mint condition, also sam do you need S club lip or want a copy made?

I'll let you know man! still talking and sorting it out with KMAK.

Today i picked up these Laurel weathersheilds off another laurel owner, unfortunately passenger side is missing :(

since my open diff is becoming a problem and is well hopeless lol, i picked up this 180sx cradle with r200 hoping it will line up, otherwise have r chassis halfshafts

IMG_0163_zpsd73f34ec.jpg

Sold that whole cradle for 400 bucks! I only paid 150 LOL, getting a 2 way from JDM Garage hopefully. Also found the rare grey interior and hoping to swap mine for his with some cash his way but wont know till saturday

The guy backed out unfortunately, so interior will be the last thing i do aswell as finding a pair of chrome VSKFs. Yeah i like the Maroon but it wont match the interior i'm putting it, like grey suede recaros, black defis, black nardi, purple shit etc. Just grey would look good and plus its rare as hell.

No real updates, I'm currently buffing it. Never buffed before, but its looking good just hella lazy. Should have ECU and Clutch with tax monies and be on my way to save for tune/install so keen! I'm going E85 aswell the flex fuel Caltex sells, not going to run prem anymore.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
