Lots of work, was my family's farm bike for years.

Saw a mint one in Tokyo last year and got inspired. Hope to restore it with my kid as a project for him so he can learn to ride

Yes! I want to do this!! 

Making a custom layout for my digital dash.
Thoughts?

Seems to fit the theme of MAGA but more arrogance.

Might see if I can make the background change on redline for a combination of the two.

Powertune digital dash.

Basically a raspberry pi

AH. I remember when that was launched. I threw the image of mine up and the kid knew exactly who I was when I did it.

I'm doing another currently from scratch this time. 5" wide screen.

Not much to update.

 

Dash insert turned up today and I test fitted the screen. Had to slightly enlarge the mount holes due to differences in the Powertune vs. the insert. (As they are both 3D printed).

Waiting on the pilot lights (Turning up Tomorrow/Friday).

 

Waiting for stage 4 restrictions to ease up before I get a wheel alignment and put some km's on it.

Haven't done much lately with the car.


Test fitted the dash on the weekend.
Just need to order some more wiring and DTM plugs.


Then drill the holes for the led pilot lights.
(Indicators, handbrake, high beam and alarm).


Might do fuel level through the Emtron as it has an input.

That's nice, how's the quality of the dash facia? 

Pretty happy with it considering the price and lack of support for R31 things in general.
You can tell it's 3D printed, from the back. But otherwise it has a nice paint/finish added to the front size.

I hear crickets....why don't I hear hits of big rpm and Trust goodness!!!!

BAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
Changed position at work and am working EU hours. Daytime is daddy daycare and sleep :P

Hopefully next month more time for fun as I will split my shift between EU and AU time.

Still need to finish wiring the dash and putting some Bosch (oil/fuel) sensors to the Emtron before I drive it again.
Ordered the bits this week, so hopefully get stuck into the wiring with my brother in law once restrictions are lifted.

Very little updates here.
With the new job hours and some other life plans I've had even less time for this.

Still have the dash apart and cannot drive it. Chequered Tuning is booked out for the rest of 2020, so I'm in no rush to get km's on it to get back on the dyno.

So I used this as an excuse for more goodies for the interior & change the standard Trust dump pipe to a Vband as it's a pain to remove and put back on.
Hopefully take it on some drives over the xmas break :)

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
