Back to the story.

After finishing up at nats and having a mad time things went back to normal.

Just the usual things started with the car.

Removed my turbo timer and came across this mess.

Not sure who the hell did this home job but it all got removed and fixed.

After a few spirited runs through the cotter I noticed that my intake gasket was shot.

So I ordered a new one online and did some research on how to change it.

At the same time I decided to get rid of the hicas and chuck a lock bar in it.

The intake gasket is a farking bitch to change! cut the fark out of my knuckles, lost a spanner (still haven't found it lol)

If you ever have to change one then make sure you have ratchet spanners because they are awesome!

Well it only took me a week to do :P but Yeh, it's very tidy and works much better than it used too. Hopefully yours does too! Good job on pulling out the turbo timer too, I'm glad to be rid of mine. Should have listened to everyone that told me when I put it in, but I was all excited about having a turbo car :laugh:

Haha that's exactly what I was looking forward to when I purchased the car. Felt like a sick karnt walking away from the car while it idled for a while.

The novelty wore off within a few months and I couldn't turn the damn thing off otherwise the car wouldn't start. Home job wiring

Yehhh, mine stopped working. Wouldn't keep the engine running, but kept the electrics on for 30 seconds. Means my oil pressure gauge would scream at me when I shut the engine down at the pressure dropped below 20psi :laugh: So far no sign of my old starting issues either, so I'm hoping they were related to the turbo timer.

ANYWAY, got round to doing the throttle sealant yet?

It's been one day dude haha

Throttle body sealant will be done this weekend I hope.

I'm going to use some glue that I have here and make sure it's a really fine film so that it breaks when I open the throttle.

I will report back how this goes.

The proper sealant can be purchased but its $80 for a small tin

Fark that

Make sure that glue is oil resistant, you don't want blow-by breaking down the glue and having it fly into your motor :/ Personally I'd fork out for the correct stuff, $80 is cheaper than causing other problems...

Communal goo? - sounds like soggy SAO game !

but Robs onto something. I think there would be a number of locals who might need/use

or perhaps a shop like Trojan might part with enough to help you out.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • 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!
