i was gonna say, one of the biggest issues i have with it is the indicator location, plus the size of the side intakes are too small imo.

anyone know which kit this is?

probably something obvious, but i cbf looking atm haha

4 spoke rims.

Seriously considering re-drilling GTST disks to run 4 stud hubs JUST to run 4 spoke wheels

just swap my cefiro 4 stud hubs for yours? :P

u wont fit 15' rims on gtst brakes, fronts will with a spacer

32 or 33?

32 GTST Brakes will fit under 15"s.

The rears are fine, the fronts possibly requiring it a spacer.

More to do with where the spoke meets the lip of the rim - sometimes clashes with caliper.

If its 33 brakes, dunno about the fronts.

yea whoops may have been thinking of 14's

hey funky, whats the go with the ceffy is it;

a) running

b) in the shop

c) sold

?

rewiring the ignition wiring. worked out it was missing like a kent cos 3 coilpacks were munted.

picked up a full set of 4 CA18 coilpacks for $80 from a bloke who owned a Datto 1200 ute and pulled 3 of em out and about to chuck em in. While I was at it decided to revarnish and wrap the coilpacks so they last a bit longer. Gotta go to South Dandy and pick up the coil winding varnish and heatproof insulation tape though. Maybe on the weekend or something. Also pulled apart the wiring loom and redoing it. So once all that is put together, all back in the car and should run like new ;)

Then off to the workshop to get a roady, then advertising for sale :down:

While it was parked outside my house (granted for 2 months straight) some kent's tried to jam a key in to force the lock and snapped the key off inside it. Luckily I got central locking alarm on it, so don't have to use a key to get into it. Still... shit of a job trying to fish a key blade out of a barrel, might have to take the door apart to pull the barrel out.

ah good to see there's progression, whats this coil winding varnish? will you be doing the coil pack loom with thicker wires for a possible better spark or are you rewiring the ignitor?

i used to spot it every time i came home so being not out the front made me think you sold it, but thats not far off anyway.

dam that stucks, maybe i shud get my alarm working... if you cant get it out a lock smith should be able to get it out.

i'll assure you that it wasn't me trying to see if the cefiro keys work the same :(

yes, they are basically slight better then s13 sr20det brakes

half the time coilpacks fail is cos the insulation flakes off or chips when changing spark plugs. When winding transformers we use this varnish that insulates the coil and is high temp resistant, which works well in an engine. basically you clean the coipack with methanol and then recoat with the varnish. works a treat. I'll have heaps leftover if you wanna grab some and do yours.

yeah woulda been amatures for sho, cos everyone who owns one knows about the door unlock button on the door that works even when the car is turned off :woot:

    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
    • The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
