So much happening! :D Very exciting stuff, I've done a little to mine but I'll post that over in my thread because there is a fair few pics!

Bushy: Really excited to see you're making some awesome progress; Can't wait to see you on the track again!

Brain: Loving the flares, they don't look too bad even in black. Are you going to colour code them?

Young: That is one Sexy 31, love it! Wheels are mad and boss fitment!

That 31 is porn,

Yeah it is a little bit lower then before I think it may be the angle im taking the pics on as well, I have around 100-110mm clearance on the front bar.

I'll take some better pics when i get it out of the garge.

I think I may just keep them black for now, I'm not 100% sure yet

Slight correction to my last post...I meant to say cam seals were replaced, not crankshaft seals hah. Doesn't look like I can edit the post.

Yep, after 20 Mins you're committed!

That thing better get low ^^ . Ok im bored so i shall waffle , blue snotter is very close to rego , just need to pull my finger out and finish off a few small things . After a fail weekend last weekend where i missed out on the charity ride day over mis communication with people , i finally have my other hq ready for the track again and 28 is back in full swing after the issues in Melbourne . How did everyone go last weekend at the track day? Im Devo i didn't make it :(

Doing some wheel bearing moves on the 31

Also need to redo the passenger side front brake hard line flare, anyone know where you get the hard line brake nuts from? and if a supercheap style flare tool can do the correct flare?

few new pics of mine (still in the garage) after getting another pair of flares, should have them on & out of the garage by next week.

this is starting to grow on me. Look forward to seeing it finished for next Sunday....

Yeah im good mate thanks , basically , i ran out of talent . I was playing with tyre pressures and a couple other things with the car and came through the esses too hard , got sideways , the clutch wouldn't dis engage properly and bam! . Only damaged the nose cone and front guard luckily (and bonnet and door) . My bad :s

I'm struggling highly for motivation at the moment.

Also for the first time in about 3 outings I actually jacked my car up to check it and found some epic inner wheel damage from the last prac day. My spotter kept edging me deeper and deeper to turn 1 untill I broke it. Also gave the chassis a good knock from another ripple strip adventure. Otherwise it's all sweet and ready to go for round 3.

I have several aspects to revamp on the. Car but can't seem to get into it. Any one got a way to get yourself motivated?

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
