  1. put my new clutch in doesn't feel the best with a very high release point but I'm told these clutches can do weird things for the first 1000kms while they bed in so ill see how it goes

    had some hand brake issues so decided to strip the rear callipers down and do a quick clean and rebuild

    and also found that the crank breather between the bottom end and the rocker cover is suppose to have a restricter in it so i pulled it out of the original pipe and put it in the new one

  2. The heavy duty clutch i was running started to give up so i bought a hhdb exedy clutch and picked up a blown rb25 box so have a play with while it was apart, seem too all fit in pretty well so ill look at rebuilding the box and replacing the 20 box in the future

  3. Pretty damm stunning! It started off as such a cheap and simple conversion too...

     

    I also reckon white wheels, the black wheels are just so 'high-school' now.

     

    .. when are you going to be happy enough with it to just drive it around? :laff:

    it gets driven daily, my only car at the moment

  4. so after seeing the price of a genuine garrett v band flange i decided to buy a $30 v band kit and turn it down to the right size and made up a dump pipe

    got everything together now just waiting on a waste gate. plugged off the hole and had a bit of a play with the laptop and got it idling.

  5. Put nolathane bushes in the trailing arms and panhard rod. Crappy job

    But made the back end a lot more predictable

     

    Had a powersteering leak in the pressure line so decided to cut the old line up and make a replaceable braided line with JIC fittings to make it cheaper to service in the future

    Also while i was picking up braided powersteering line i got excited and bought a fuel rail, regulator and ordered some turbo lines

    While i had stuff apart I decided to dream a little

  6. had some radiator troubles (after a week of driving the fan decided to hit one of the rad tubes) so went twin thermos and wired them into an auxiliary on my ecu. Got bored and decided to try my spare rocker cover which i painted yellow, but wasnt happy with it so resprayed the old rocker cover and plug cover in low gloss black and went over the writing in gloss black. think i will end up paint stripping the yellow one and colour coding it white, but I'm happy with the black for now. Also thought id do a compression test while i had it apart and was around 140-150 on all cylinders. Also was getting loud noises from my 044 so i started pulling my fuel system apart and realised the lift pump wasnt working so i replaced it with the goss pump i had

  7. Finally got around to setting up a surge tank the other days, just getting around to making a cover

    To seal it off from the boot.

    Also went to change the top hose and when i pulled it off so did the plastic barb on the radiator top tank so i got myself a aluminium one of ebay, made some new mounts and put it in

    Also took the spacers out of my front coilovers and did a wheel alignment and realise when i lowered it i cause massive toe out so i fixed that up and now it feels alot better to drive.

    Also took a little more off the rear spring and got some

    Shorter shocks off a mate who never used them. They are for a commodore wagon so they are much harder and perfect length for my springs

  9. Today i decided to do a bit in the engine bay. Got rid of the maf and replaced it with a pod filter adapter, 3-2.5 inch silicon reducer and a piece of straight 2.5inch pipe. Also got rid of all the egr stuff from the engine bay and started re routing my wiring and ignitor through the guard
