Due to the rain today I was able to do some pictures.

I ripped out my old drum brake axle today, found I need a couple of bushes, and that my rear shocks are super stiff!

Reconed the new pistons painted them red for 10kw then bolted up new purple (for 5kw) braided hel lines. Thanks to jade at garage 9 for the group buy!

Also sanded de rusted and painted the new rear disc axle.

Pictures.

Old axle

My stiff as f**k onlins shocks, even on softest setting. Might put these up for sale......

painted.

assembled

And lastly a close up.

okay, the little one kept me awake most of the weekend,

give me a lot of time to do some car stuff tho.

i changed out my hks front shocks. the tein springs on them are far too stiff. i need to measure the inner diameter of them and find a lower spring rate. can anyone give me some tips on how to go about this?!

i dropped in some bc coilovers i had sitting around, softest damper setting, and raised to just over 100m clearance.

i then fitted a whiteline castor kit, piss easy job, had it done on 30 mins. on the ground. i tried to get it as lined up as possible (didnt think there was much i could change allignment wise, but the steering wheel is off slightly this morning. the must be about half a degree of camber to be had with the bc coils. doesnt worry me, the car being that light, it can wait till the weekend and ill straighten it up.

tidied a few things up too, new rear number plae light holder thingo, as my last one was hanging on for grimm death.

relocated my oil filter relocator, then couldnt find my 90 degree fitting so had to mount it a little lower for now to clear the bonnet.

refitted my parcel shelf with the 5x8 speakers, its good to have music again.

test fitted the 225 50 14 semi slicks on the bmw bottle cap wheels i have. they see,m to sit flush against the hub, which is wierd as the centre bores should be different.

any way ill borrow the digital calipers from work and measure this properly to be sure.

we have a little bit of poke on the front, but there appears to be plenty of clearance on full lock.

as for the rear, with an 8mm space attached the tyres where fine. didnt try them with out a spacer, but hey its good. ill only use these at the track any way, ridiculous tyres for the road.

on the topic of tyres, my rears are up for renewal. can anyone recommend a 185 50 14. i have federal 595's and while they are great around corners, they have no forward grip.

i may have to import from tyre rack.......

[Plattsy]

so minor update, sold the hks coilovers to fund my new project.

stay tuned for that one.

in micra news, shes finally given up...... the brakes had gone to the point of having nothing, the car was almost cutting out on idol etc etc, giving it the beans brought about a bigger and bigger lean period befor the boost came on, and the final clue, water was literally pissing out of my exhaust.

the head gasket david at dmd warned about, has finally gone.

ive booked in my spare head to be cleaned and decked with mik over at jdm melbourne, and i have the spare hg on the shelf in the garage. literally waiting on time and my arp studs from the states then its go time. going to tear it all down on friday and yes, i will get pictures of everything!!!!!!!!

the whole front end is coming off, being heat wrapped and put back together. the sump is coming off and my spare being sent to scotty to have him weld my return feed on.

ive got new rda slotted and dimpled rotors coming along with some more qfm a1rm pads from jason over at garage 9. if your in melbourne and need brakes, he is the cheapest by far.

having an sau mini meet at my joint sunday for a timing belt party haha! full 200k service (22000km late!) on my wifes wrx.... might get round to doing a few things on the micra too!

im sending the wife to visit family with the kid in qld for a week, give me chance to get all this done... if anyone wants to come round and help out, ive always got beer in the fridge!

ill be back next week with pictures guys!

[Plattsy]

ps. i just msgd scotty about a new dump, but i know hes crazy busy at the mo....

im going to do evry thing i can to get this turbo to spool quicker....

[Anfanee]

Careful Paul. New Dump might double the cost of this build

[Plattsy]

it will. ive got the flange already, so thats money saved

just gotta pay the man for his time and materials! so at the mo the head studs should be here tuesday.

[Anfanee]

hehe flange.....

Needs moar power. Get a -9 for it.............. +E85

[Plattsy]

it does not need more power f**king.

it needs more response.

[Anfanee]

Hence why i said -9's and not -5's or something bigger. Josh Paul listen bro!!!!!!!

But on a serious note. Response=my ultimate goal so i know your feel. Makes me question why i put the Type Bs in my car. Then i remember the braap braap braap braap and forget about it.

Nekminute Type R's and E85.....

How are you getting around response?

[Plattsy]

well its not toooooo bad.

the coolant being burnt would explain why we have lost a bit of response, as the fuel would basically be f**king useless.

the stock dump needs to go, that should allow some quicker flow.....

been thinking about external gate, moar boost etc etc.... no idea to be honest. but id love it too spool about 4-500 rpm quicker.

hopefully some dump and head work can achieve this.

[Anfanee]

Hmm. Whats the cooler setup like? Moar Cold air (maybe larger pipes?), Headwork?

Or get another GTR turbo and run two turbos....

lol its running 2.25 or 2.5 inch cooler piping with an xr6 turbo fmic..... maybe the cooler is too big?!?

right now, imma get dump and head sorted, install the metal wheel shaft into a turbo and give it back to dmd, saying, hit 200kw, then give me maximum response.

It's possibly the cooler is too big. What about running like a 200sx cooler or stock r33 gts-t cooler? something smaller? That's a question for someone that really knows what they are talking about

Dump should make quite a bit of difference.

[Anfanee]

Ask in forced induction bro. No doubt people will weigh in with ideas.
