MIG, oh and it needs a gun apparently. 

A mate who welds said its "a pretty good welder". 

I was going to just do the buy a cylinder from bunnings thing. 

Mig is pretty good, quiet universal and somewhat easy to use, the hardest thing is setting them up. Most guys just set them up by the sound. 

 

Yeah perfect. They don't offer the 'trade - n - go gas' at my local Bunnings, so Gasweld/Sydney tools are the go-to for me.

Do people still build GT-Rs on here?!

? Hmmm. Not sure! Apparently Pulsar > GTR ??

Since the car has been off the road for so long, the brake rotors had began rust. So gave them some love in the bead blaster and scuffed the brake pads up (figure 8's on a sheet of 80 grit) 

 

Flushed and bled all the brakes, for good measure. 

 

It's getting alot closer to driving it now!

I've had good success scuffing pads before, same pricess pretty much. 

How far away is your tuners dyno?

Yeah it's worked quiet well, spoiler alert... the car is currently driving ?

I've been slack updating this. 

Untuned, however AFR's look excellent. Haven't given it a decent rev, obviously, however I'd be happy to cruise on the highway with it. Drives surprisingly well for a map, which isn't even 'SR20 Specific' 

The dyno is less than 100kms from me.

Had to slightly modify the front cross member to allow extra clearance for the 4-1 headers. 

After that, finally drove the thing!!

 

Obviously light load, watching AFR's like a hawk. 

 

Drove it down to a mates shop where I did a wheel alignment.. for the street. For now..

That is a nice exhaust, along with the rest of the car

Thank you very much! The outside of the car definitely isn't the best. However that's never been my strong suit either. 

 

I'm planning to have a small amount of paint and panel done in the new year, although I'm not going all out, as the car will be used, not a trailer queen / garage ornament.

Looking good. 

Slightly more rear camber? Is that a FWD thing? 

Engine bay looks mint. 

Basically it helps the rear end hang on through a corner, prevent the back end over taking the front lol. 

 

Thanks man!!! 

 

Update: car is at the tuners now

 

And a Skyline for all you SAU Junkies 20191202_153734.thumb.jpg.451e0f2a02b6e6b004e48f68ade342a6.jpg

    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
