Also looking into options for the battery. Possibly a stand+enclosure welded up.... at the moment it's literally propped up with wood hahaha

Standard size should fit ok? Mine does

Few questions...

The black fuel line that runs over the plenum.. Should i braid that for the lulz?

I cant see a fuel line over the plenum? Theres a black vac line that you should make longer and run under the plenum

Also considering either braiding or getting one of the old school greddy hard pipes for the top Rad hose...???

Nah?

Next on the list is a toss up and i can't decide.

Gearbox rebuild- Typical synco issue coming down from 5th to 4th, loves a good teeth clean.

Buy another box and when it breaks use the two to make 1 hahaha

Diffs - Replace both front and rear with a quiafe front and nismo pro rear.

Whats wrong with the standard rear diff? Just rebuild it. And front diff is motor out so might as well do extended sump instead of quaife rear diff

Suspension - Sway bars (probs whiteline, nismo is more than twice the price now) and replace my Teins with MCA blues orrr Nismo suspension. 

MCA

But hey, dont let me stop you haha.

Standard battery does fit. I'm just not using one.

Sorry I meant the vac line for the fpr. Yeah might get a longer one and just tuck it.

As for the gearbox if I have to drop it, for $900 I'll just rebuild it. 

And as for rear diff again nothing wrong with a rebuild just thinking  if I'm doing it I may as well do it properly. 

If i'm getting the rear diff rebuilt award will do it. thoughhhhh if i do that 

Ill get Ultimate to pull the rear diff and gearbox out and ill take them down in the cube. 

 

$$ ads up quickly.

Started polishing the footrest but its too bloody hot. Will also get some rust converter for the bracket and have a crack at that on the weekend. 

It seems like it should come up OK, that rust section on the face that is on the left will probs require sanding but the rest has come up pretty good for 20 minutes worth of work. I might even leave the bit on the left for the time be and polish the rest up and fix it later.

So it had a good check over, a couple of little long term things that need addressing but nothing major. Overall pretty happy. Fixed a few things and the car is driving beautifully, it's amazing when little things can make the world of difference. 

Next will be sway bars i suspect. 

 

 

Oh also...

I am the 1st person in history that after not having HICAS for years, loves the feel of it now that i have it. Legit cannot understand why people lock it out, i can understand removing it for the weight, but the car has so much more direction above 80km/h.

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
