grandmasterb Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Continued with operation tidy up wiring in the 32 today and DAMN those little Japanese buggers like there scotch locks I've seen some major birds nests in the past but some of this was just shocking eg: wiring changes colour 3 or 4 times where joins have been made, splicing power from one area for 10 different wires and taped together All i can say is that there is no way i could ever be an auto sparky if thats what they deal with all day Got my rear brake lines back on with new fittings so hopefully will solve the fluid leaks. Its slowly coming together again and with summer fast approaching i have found the motivation to get off my arse and get things done.

sav man Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Yep, took the box in and the synchros are being re-raced, and the bearings are getting replaced, the flywheel isn't damaged, it's just got acouple of waves through it, light machine will fix it. And the clutch that was in the car was a stock Nissan one, manged to get ~5 track days and 9 months of crusing around in it at 311rwkw. My other stuff hasn't left Japan yet, nengun says it should be today Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/91189-whats-going-on-with-everyones-cars/page/22/#findComment-3483338 Share on other sites More sharing options...

sav man Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 hoooooooooooray I drive my car home tonight. After 2 months i've got the diff and gearbox rebuilt, put in adjustible upper arms and caster rods, and put a tomie baffle in the sump. The engine was sitting upside down on the engine stand for a month and a half, so when i finnaly started it, it was only running on 4 - 5 cylinders, and blowing heaps of smoke, all cleared now though . Wheel alignment tomorrow, currently running about -4 deg camber as a just put the upperarms as short as they will go (looks cool), even with my dodgy settings it turns in and powers out heaps better.

sav man Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Well I was heading down the Greens Beach on friday night, and Skippy the motherf**king bush kangaroo jumped out onfront of me while I was doing 100k, didn't even get a chance to hit the brakes. I'm now ordering a new intercooler. But I can sleep easy knowing that I killed him. I now know to drive the bit of road between kelso and greens beach at 80k at night now.

floody Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Going really good, except it has a mystery top-end-of-motor rattle. Its like a lifter rattle but really loud and "clacky"...AND disappears under load - but its there on light load/coasting and free revving. F#cks me what it is!

sav man Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 (edited) na, he just hit square in the intercooler. I blocked off round the hold with plyers to get it home, the rest of it is fine. The Nismo areial gives it a real good look, also ordering a HKS bullbar, and a set of Tomie spot lights Edited January 6, 2008 by sav man Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/91189-whats-going-on-with-everyones-cars/page/22/#findComment-3566175 Share on other sites More sharing options...
