And some more bathroom build updates, waterproof it's mum.

Before someone says it's not thorough, there's actually a copper tray underneath the shower area, this shit will outlive me and my future kids.

Meh

Happy wife, happy life

It's not like you cannot do mad skids later

My only concern is the large amounts of common sense being used, actually using money on something that doesn't just burn the money is weird....

Food looks amazing!

Bathroom looking titts too!  The copper base is an awesome idea, we’ve got a leaking shower base at the moment. In a 6 year old house....  Dodgy waterproofing much....?

nice tiles man

where did u get them?

Tile Factory Outlet, cheap and fast. Had massive issues with Tile & Bath Co. They cocked up our order big time (long story).

The floor tiles are all porcelain but the wall tiles are ceramic as there's no real need to get porcelain on the wall, since the water is going to head off anyhow.

These days most builders aim to water proof enough to get it a bee's dick past the 7 year warranty mark and hope to see you again OR they pretend to go bust, change names and off they go again and do shitty work.

Rather be eating in Korea, here's a photo from yesterday at Hong Kong waiting to board the plane back to Chiko Roll Dim Sum land.

Pork, Chicken and Duck plate, because I ain't no vegan.

Just read all 59 pages of this thread. Makes me want to preserve the Nissan in my motor. I am also big fan of the halaltech, had one in my old s14 and wish my new 33 had it ?

 

Also renovating my bathroom atm. Doing everything myself though, did stack bond subways on mine too, good choice. Message_1570348873048.thumb.jpg.ef2cd40b09c66d680add32f112490481.jpg

Keep up the good work, I'm enjoying the various aspects of this jdm/euro/house build thread.

@JCup looks like we have a few things in common, Nissan shitboxes and renovating ???

One thing I haven't tried to tackle is DIY tiling. When I renovated the laundry I paid a tiler, but part of me thinks I should have done it myself.

That's going to be a sick shower, dual rain heads, something the wife wants but I said no as we are planning to either sell this place or rent it out in a few years. I still dream of a house with a double garage, some form of man cave/room and about 30 to 40km to Sydney CBD. At the moment we're in a townhouse that's about 33kms away (so 1 box ticked lol). 

You should have a reno/car build thread too haha

@niZmO_Man habibi, you're a mod - can you change my thread title to "Dose Pipe Sutututu's Home Renos & Car Build Thread + Euro Appreciation"

Poo tickets are to far away, I would end up face down on the floor if I was having drunk dump.

Nah you hold onto that big metal handle with your right hand and stretch out with your left hand for the tickets. Just need to understand what Bourbon limit the handle is rated to prior to putting any drunken weight on it

Rename thread to 

Dose's better home and gardens with a little bit of garage too.

 

Nice bathroom habib, does it make 500kw?

Will give it a hit soon, once the shower screen is in. Should pull those figures easy 

BRO... that thread title :)

Thanks @niZmO_Man if you need hook ups with Elig, Turbosmart, DBA, Motul, Intima, you know who to ask!

 

Inshallah! Must be tuning shit box SR20 season again, returning customer (ADM S15). Last T28BB E85 set up lasted 3 years till the head lifted with stock head bolts. I did advise the customer to put in ARP head studs, but his mates said no need. Long story short, new set up has freshened up bottom (rings, bearings), skimmed head, new valve seals, Supertech springs, new VCT, RAS, new v2.0 Tomei 258 Poncams and to top it off a GTX2860R Gen 2.

Customer is hoping for 250 to 260kW with ball tingling response, car already was doing 1m7s with only 223kW and Hankook Z221 tyres.

Just dialing it in before dyno this weekend, the entire old fuel map needed work meaning the motor is now breathing more hence parts were quite lean. 

Tonight some E85 work and we will be ready for dyno time.

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
