don't get me started on new fuel pumps. I put a Bosch unit in mine and it sucked up a piece of rubber which apparently came off the brand new hose I bought to connect it to the fuel filter sock thingo. Long story short the place I bought it from won't pay out as they say not pump fault but foreign object. I now have to buy second brand new pump. :rolleyes: Will be going to place where I bought the "fuel line" off to give them a piece of my mind and hopefully recover the hole in my wallet.

and pauls installing mine :Paranoid: !!

Yeah they put it on dyno last Thursday to do a power run and play with EBC ....... and paul goes to me "um i dont think you'll be needing that SAFC cos theres no fuel to control" Ive got a Bosch one going in too

Niz, good thing they identified that there was no fuel going in, you don't want to go through a rebuild due to the car running lean like i just did, particularly partially unemployed. I think mine's cost me nearly $5K now and my old boy and I have done most of the labour ourselves!

I'm sure you'll have more luck than i did with your fuel pump. Paul knows what he's doing doesn't he :confused:

Has Paul ever fitted a fuel pump before ...... No. But he's donig it at SST's so help should be on hand if he needs it :( I hope my car cooperates for him ...... my car is very uh female and can be rather uncooperative for Paul.

Yes i have rego to pay in the next couple of days and at the moment thats quite expensive enough!! Good that your car is nearly on the road tho :rolleyes:

    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue. 
    • Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder
    • Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia body...
    • This. A 3d wheel alignment is like $120...just take it to the shop. Since theres probably multiple adjustments that need to be made after changing something. Mine has front/rear lower arms, traction rods, tension rods, camber arms, toe arms, front upper arms, hicas kit, sway bars and coilovers. I measure from the edge of the bolt holes on the originals and set the same length on all the adjustable stuff to dial it as close as I could to OEM. Took it straight for alignment; it didnt feel right at all...after alignment, it feels perfect. Similarly i've just changed the springs on another car; and I still needed multiple adjustments to bring it back in spec.
