Decided I’d change all the door hinges while the guards were off and they’re easy to get to.

seeing as they come raw I painted them all black

and then put them on, the old ones were held on with seam sealer and it took the paint off while getting them off, I threw some paint over the bare metal to stop any chance of rust 

Turbine housing finally came back so on went the turbo and of corse the exhaust bolted straight back up and oil feed and return were also perfect

then the compressor housing

Then I figure I’m pretty much done in the bay so I may as well throw the guards on

and then the bonnet

also grabbed some new rubbers, new prop rod holder and prop rod

Really starting to look like a car again

Ordered a new intercooler and when it arrived it turn out the order had been messed up with the intercooler having Wiggins on it instead of hose ends, decided to just live with it and use it as a forced upgrade. We then towed the car to my mates workshop for the fab work to make everything thing work

first welded a 90 onto the compressor housing and fitted the intercooler to the car

new intercooler pipes are now built

got it home and made the reinforcement fit, that took a lot of time and cutting and if I could go back I wouldn’t have chosen the wide core just due to the amount of cutting required. I also lost the return pipe for the blow off valves because it didn’t fit anymore either

Test fitted the front bar just to see how it would go, looks like I’ll get to keep the mesh which I was surprised about

also now that the return for the blow off valves can’t be used due to clearance issues I decided to get rid of the bulky plenum and etc that they use and grabbed a good ole Aussie turbo smart race port

it just pushes into the original hose and gives a lot more room

I think @Duncan was looking for the parts you've likely removed for the Blow Off Valves Brett if you're looking to part ways with them.

Yay I got my radiator, didn’t take any where near as long as i thought it might

got some brand new genuine rubbers for the bottom mounts as well

dropped It in, the fans clear the oil pump and etc so a win there but I still can’t catch a break

so now I need to move the air temp sensor and also the oil Filter is in the way of where the header tank is supposed to go, I hated where the oil filter was and now I guess I have no choice but to move it. f**k I HATE CARS

    • i will be there 😁
    • 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!
