The parts I need to fix the oil leaks have finally arrived and I can start moving forward with the project again

In there is the speedo drive o-ring and seal and also a new power steering hose, will be fitting them as soon as I get some time (hopefully this week) and get the car back on the ground to get that exhaust sorted out

Awesome project so far mate. Look forward to your posts!

thanks mate, unfortunately at the moment it's little job that must be done before I can get back into the bigger jobs

Friday I fitted the power steering hose and the seals for the speedo drive, but for the awd piston in the back of the box there is no seal,

So I pulled it out and ran a bead of sealant around it and put it back in

I then filled the fluids back up and started the car to bleed the power steering and left it up on the stands. Im going away for a week so will leave it up there and check for any signs of leaks when I get home, it should all be good and I can move onto other things

I'm back from my holiday and went out to the garage cause the car was left on the stands and its dry under there, so the oil leaks are all fixed and I can move on

While I had it in the air I knew it required new castor rods cause it would squirm under brakes and really didn't feel safe at all. I had a set sitting around from a front cut I had years ago, they aren't damaged at all and decided to throw them on. 41580F8E-B3BF-4FF4-9969-68C1691B18AE.jpg That's a photo of the old ones showing how flogged out they were

Woke up this morning to the post man dropping something off and I ended up with this box

Was very happy cause I knew what was inside of it

It's midori front pipes, venom 3.5in 100cpi cat and a kakimoto 3.5in stainless cat back. Now being a typical Japanese exhaust the center muffler is actually only 3in, so I bought a magna flow muffler to replace it and ensure the whole exhaust it 3.5in

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
