Trailers, mmm I think we will build one, see exact costing and go from there. I only want a very very basic one. No tyre rack etc. Will be around end of the year I reckon before we look at building on

My car got reversed into the front of last night. :):O:domokun: The front bar has a crack in it from the headlight down to the bottom of the numberplate mount roughly. Fair bit of paint scratched off the bar as well. Going to need a new front bar so the bodyworks place told me. Bonnet is also a little bit bent in. :banana:

The bar is a fibreglass bar fortunately so that is being repaired as i type. Should get it back next week and then off to the bodyworks for the front bar to be resprayed and then getting the bonnet and the driverside door resprayed as they are both a little bit patchy. Wasn't planning on doing them until later in the year but might as well get them done while its there.

Well its been a slow process getting my snotter on the road again.

This weather is the main killer at the moment as i dont have a shed/garage the car is just in the drive which means on days like today i cant get anything done :)

Basically to get the car running:

starter motor bolted back on

couple of heater hoses attatched

FMIC piping bolted up with a few adjustments

run all new vacuum lines (and figure out the mess from the old EBC) along with the electrics for the EBC

redo fuel lines (have to disconnect the additional 2 lines) and also the 2 extra injectors.

put ignition barrel back in and fix wiring where it was damaged

have new 1/4 glass put in

put rotors back on (getting machined today) along with freshly painted calipers and bleed brakes

sort out rest of the engine bay wiring which looks like a scattered birds nest...

and then there are a few other little things that needs to be done before i can pit pass it :O

Atleast my new parts lists looks good if Australia Post stop loosing my freaking gear :)

Little strange about the earthing problems cobber...

What turbo did you end up going with???

Why not just buy Z32 from CRD and injectors from Aaron as they are the cheapest???

The turbo well it's that Rx7 Hybrid.

Once i get it i'll measure the A/R and see what's what.

Yeah the earthign is very bizzar, maybe that is what my problems are. Looks like a job for an auto sparky.

Well with the injectors i was hoping to get some 440cc ones from my contact in the US about $390 Au for a set of 6 delivered and yeah slide for the Z32.

BUT have to move house first.

yeah in the us the 240SX came with them.

Ah ic...

UPDATES: rotors machined but will be the last time before i have to replace them :)

Replaced broken brake line fittings so hopefully that stops the leaks and increases pedal feel again...

Pulled my BRIDE out and fixed the runners so it can slide again and after sitting in it again im thinking of selling it as its too narrow in the base ;)

      Welshys 32ZILA and the 8HP.

      By welshy_32ZILA · Posted

      Near 12mths since the last update apologies.  Car is back running and driving.  Have had a few runs at the drag strip also with a bit of success.  Managed to run tje cars PB with a 10.88 @139mph with a 2.0 60ft.  I have a stock 8hp converter and it's definitely too tight for my setup. But it drives on the street phenomenal. So happy to have converted from the sequential. Has made the car enjoyable to drive vs a what felt like a chore with the sequential.  Looking a at few different options for converters waiting for some feedback from SDE if he can do one for me.  Still a few minor things to work out regarding finalising torque reduction, I have it working but needs to refining.

      I honestly wouldn’t bother with this. They don’t hold up under any serious strain. Get the Blackline (Chinese fake Quaife) if anything, as it’s reported to perform pretty well.

      Asking where to source parts

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      For future reference, I believe all that Amayama does is act as a middleman between you and Nissan. Go to your local dealership, ask nicely for a parts account (I get 15% off with mine) and you'll get better pricing. Cheers,

      V35 Skyline possible engine swaps?

      By Blakeo · Posted

      Hi guys, I have a 2005 V35 skyline with the vq35de.  It is a drift car and has been stripped, its now running a standalone ECU and a body harness. Dash everything has been changed to a digital dash controlled by ecu.  The vq35de has been great, very reliable but wanting more HP atm the 35de is making 228rwhp. I'd like to be making about 350rwhp. From my research it looks like a vq25det lightly modified could be a good engine to swap in. I understand the CD trans will bolt up right to the vq25det with a 35de sump used.  My only issue is a wiring harness/ecu to control the vq25det, from what i've found the ecu is a lot different to the vq35de so my plugin for the 35de will not work. Is there any potential to use the vq35de wiring harness and modify as necessary to retain the plugin ecu?  Keen to hear what you guys think, or am I best off to chuck on a cheap turbo kit on the 35de and see how long it lasts.

      R32 Nostalgia

      By funkymonkey · Posted

      Oh sorry Justin! I was racking my brain trying to remember names, not sure why I associated “Adam” with 7tune! I’m good, been away from Skylines for over a decade, got family and kids now. Just getting back into owning a 32 but it’s a whole different world now… tax is higher and tech is better.
