Ah it's just like me updating it . Putting up pics . Going into done detail of what's happening with it and everything .
And then there's never any reply etc . That's why it's ment to be a thread .. Not a story told by me yano .. I just think it's a waste if time by the time I have photobucket loading and everything else
Build threads are not really designed for the person who updates them to get a positive kick back . I thought they were for other people to read ,enjoy and give some inspiration. ? Maybe I'm wrong
Keep updating man, lads dont reply but do look at them. Also you cant go wrong with a detailed build thread if it ever came to selling!
I'm not great at replying to threads but do love reading them. and i wouldn't feel bad about it, nobody ever replies to my threads haha, maybe they're just shit though.
We'll hopefully it never leaves my hands Stevo .. Ha ..
Yeah I guess your right jimmy . There's often a time I'd read through loads of big threads . Including your ps one . And I would enjoy it but I would always just leave a comment or something saying what's good and a change in a certain area or whatever as a suggestion . It's nice sometimes to hear a bit of feedback . That's all really
And I guess another thing is the site isn't as active as it was once .. Ah we'll
Fuel tank is wrapped up and heading for brownlow radiators in Armagh to get "re-nu'd" .. They split the ranks . Shot blast . Sealer . Weld the rank back together . 148 gbp sounds reasonable for the process and I've a rank not to worry about ..
Can't wait to get this thing mapped ..
That seems a waste of money? Lol last tank I cleaned out with some rust remover petrol an 804 gravel ,Power washed after and it was mint :cool:
Lol Your a rough man Jimmy
Lololololol , pissed in the tank then at the drift day for extra horse powerzzz. Anyway back to this build thread. Stop moaning get on with it lol
Ah keep updating it Adam! I love reading build threads of cool cars such as urs! I don't comment on them really as I don't want to come across as bein a fella who comments on every thread sayin "nice build" etc! Keep updating this! Car is a credit to ya!
I'm the same, always read the updates looking for tips/ideas but dont really comment. Anyways NICE BUILD, GREAT WORK, KEEP ME UPDATED etc...
I'm just commenting so I can get the 100 to sell shit :cool: In all things serious though it would be a shame to let the thread go with all the quality work and parts that have gone into the car
Nice car lad :-P
Stick with it. There's comments are proof that people read the updates.
Got myself one of the coolest boost controllers on the market .
The new greddy profec ebc

Thats really cool!! Were did you pick it up?
Much monies?
Glad to see you decided on keeping the build thread updated. Some money and top quality work going into it. Enjoying watching the progress!
Ye keep them comin man. And I've been eyeing up 1 of this controllers for weeks now ha
ohhh i want that boost controler.....is it expensive??
I bought one of those recently! a brilliant piece of kit. can be mounted either way aswel. I got mine from RHD Japan lads
Yep that's it lads rhd japan are doing a great deal on them I got mine for 272 euro delivered .. Great value
Ah there won't be a end to this thread just a huge update in one months time .. Watch this space :)
I think it's a nicely designed boost controller, other than the mount... looks like a complete afterthought.
Such a nice boost controller. Did it take long for delivery?
So my fuel tank was a bit rusty . Just from sitting up with no fuel in it . Came in from japan like this ..
So I said right I need a tank but I didn't want to buy a used one . Nissan want 530 euro + vat for a new one and I wasn't planning on spending that kind of money
Found a crowd up north called brown low radiators that re-nu fuel tanks . Sent it away . 3 weeks later and 300 euro less in my pocket I get it back and delighted with it
Now to fill it with octane 😉 ..

That last picture- wowsa
Thats gorgeous dude
Ah it's getting there alright . Mapping in 3 weeks time . 370ish bhp is what I want ,
The coilovers and adjustable arms .. Then vrt . Have the thing nearly two years and not vrt'd .. Gonna get rode
There is a daily penalty for non payment of vrt adam :eek:
Looks the job though
Yeah it's 0.01% so let's say if it's 790 euro . Daily penalty is 7.9cent a day .. So they told me ..
Hopefully not more ha ..
Thanks a lot . I'm not happy with it at all yet . I have a vision in my head and I'm not there yet ..
if you have pictures to show your car wasn't roadworthy....show pictures of the fuel tank out etc you shouldn't have to pay the penalty! I seen this online when I was vrting my own that had been off the road for 4 years!
The boost controller is a serious bit of kit. As i said before i have one and also have defi gauges and the boost controller reads the boost more accurately. After the turbo comes on boost it records the reading and displays it for a few seconds.
Penalty is 1% daily. I was getting caught with my R34 until I sold it to London. And ross on here with the r32 got caught too his was 3 days or something and they charged him 54e or something if I remember right.Quote:

Measured up my mines ait filter and ordered up a velocity stack for it with a 3 inch adapter for the z32

Just a comparison of 2 years and 20k

Yep i'd well believe it... You wouldn't be long dumping buckets of cash into them to get them the way you want them.Quote:

Fitted my extra lock drift work steering boots . Fit really we'll and not even under stretch and I have a good lock set up ..

Since my car was hicas from factory I set upon removing all of it and while keeping the standard hicas power steering pump I disassembled it to remove the veins from the rear of the pump to stop it creating pressure . Gonna mig weld up the pipe fitting in work tomorrow

After hours upon hours of work I'm finally finished my exhaust manifold . It's now single scroll too . One of my mates is going to get it tig welded up for me at his work so I'll have it back at the weekend
http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/w...psnxqgeldp.jpg
Fitted my tomei fuel pressure regulator. My z32 Nissan fuel filter and made up a few braided line with all the earls an6 bits

Also went braided from the fuel pump to the hardline and fitted the fully reconditioned tank I got done .. Bridges the fuel pump relay and set the static pressure on the regulator to 37psi . 36psi is the standard recommendation I think

That's pretty much all for the moment . I'm waiting on post from frsport with a throttle body gasket and a idle air controll valve gasket . And a sr s14 throttle body pulley . All Genuine Nissan too . Them I can bolt on the inlet . It's only sitting there at the moment ..
The water lines to the iacv and the two water lines to the throttle body I've also made in braided line just waiting on some more an6 line finishers for them . Expensive but fuck it no price on reliability .. The hardship of a 23 year old water pipe leaking would Rot me ...
Trying to mock up the new intercooler pipe work . I really need to get new pipes made
http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/w...psj1pjucbt.jpg
Also done some coil over adjustment
http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/w...psszhmoi6c.jpg
Got my manifold back tig welded up so I can finally put it all back together now ..
http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/w...psj6wholnp.jpg
http://i733.photobucket.com/albums/w...psakqos635.jpg
Also got a new iacv gasket , throttle body gasket , s14 throttle body pulley to work the Freddy manifold . Oh and a bit and washer for the rocker cover ha
