That's pretty decent in terms of pricing, tempting LOL..

For the money you’d be crazy not to, putting old manky looking bolts in a fresh bay makes it look shit

seeing as I can’t do a great deal with the front at the moment I decided to do some work at the back of the car

in go some rear camber arms to stand the wheels up a lot more

once installed I dialed the camber down to half a degree, the toe is still all over the shop because I didn’t have the string lines to be able to measure it

Lol there no way I’d put up with the lag a turbo big enough to flow that would have 

Never say never. You said that about never putting a single turbo on your car too.

 

Quoted for future reference. 🤪

Lol and that improved response not killed it 

Well seeing as I couldn’t go to work because of getting beer flu I decided to work on the gtr once I had enough energy.

Pulled the rest of the interior out and removed the battery wiring, the battery tray ready to re wire the entire boot. Then I fitted the surge tank in the corner of the boot

then started plumbing the tank into the fuel lines I already had

I had to wait for 60° fitting to do the last line as it wouldn’t run where I wanted it to without it

I’ll be wiring in some solid state relays and etc, just need the engine to turn up and the new wiring harness before I wire it all up

Fitted all the brake lines back into the bay with all new clips to hold them onto the firewall

also fitted some nismo braided brake lines as they follow the factory routing and make a lot less nervous that they may end up touching and rubbing through

also some new break clips as it seem the old line stretched the original ones

Then I bled all the brakes using good quality brake fluid, put all the wheels back on and now I pretty much can’t do anything until the engine and wiring harness arrive 

Looking nice!  Hard to beat a nice clean engine bay!  I see you’ve given the ABS module a tidy up?  They’re a tricky shape and setup to be able to do much with. So tempted to delete or relocate mine.  Even just route the pipes somewhere else. Lower on the firewall maybe?   Or just stop being a wanker and finish the car! 😂

I had it vapor blasted then put it back, I wanted new lines but a few a discontinued

Wiper motor looks nice as well, how did you clean it? Or did you buy new? 

i also had it vapor blasted and then painted the black bit to make it look as new as possible.

How have you found the steering feel with the pump in the boot?

It’s good, if it wasn’t for the fact you can hear it wind up before you start the car you’d never know

thanks mate

Something little but has been a pain in the ass for ages

the spring for the fuel flap went missing when I gave it to someone for paint matching years ago and I was able to buy one new

quickly clipped it onto the flap and now when I open the door it pops open again. As I said it’s a really small thing but sometimes they make big differences

    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
    • The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
