Well, 7 months ago I was made an offer on my R33 GTR that I could not turn down! After watching her been towed away I had made the decision to put the profits back into the house.....well that's what

Well with powercruise 56 done and dusted I'm now in the process of getting the car ready to take to the drag strip. The car performed fantastic all weekend and was great being able to drive a fast car again. We do have some oiling issues to sort out but we know what needs to be done. Currently looking at fixing the transbrake and hooking up nitrous to get the car on converter for future powercruise events. I weighed the car at the track and came in at 1330kg so also looking at taking some weight out and try to run a decent pass before we need to cage it. Fuel system will need a rehash and the old tank will be deleted etc. Yes the paint survived the side pipe action although a couple of arms hanging out the window may not have, will run the screamer up below the dump at some stage.

Well after long consideration and time wasting I've come up with the fuel system for car. We have decided to go with a mechanical fuel pump setup that's driven by the intake cam shaft. This setup should see us never run out of fuel and will cut the electrical load on the car dramatically. At this point in time the fuel tank will be taken out of the car and a new 30L fuel cell and lift pump setup will be installed, stay tuned!

Full interior no cage atm (1330kg). I'm in the process of stripping the interior and so far with the passengers front seat, all seat belts, rear seats and some plastic trims I've taken an extra 34kg's. Will leave the dash pad and centre console in adding 2 Kirkey seats + harness bar. Will try and do a full pass without a cage to see what it does. Side pipe will have a matching 2.5" screamer poking out below it at some point!!!

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
