spent 3 hours today wiring down underneath with a Wirebrush attachment on a Grinder, and gave it a light coat of Etch Primer, gonna give it another coat and while its drying change the Breaks and then a coat or two of Waxoil seal :D might fix up the Ridge front bumper too while im at it i fell like working tomorrow :D
youll need differant brake pipes as the skyline rear callipers has a male fitting on the brake pipe where as the silvia one has a banjo bolt going through it..Quote:

Lovely car mate. Where did you get your mirrors? Sorry just saw your reply above about yahoo auctions I must have a look on it for them. Have you dealt with them much I dono why I'm nervous enough getting stuff off it.
i got mine secondhand from a guy in England, Iv bought a Few bits off yahoo auctions through Jesse Streeter, i was ordering my flywheel through him also but he is apparently up the wall with orders and he reckons he will have to cut back orders as he has no place to store the stuff, contact juice on here he is in Japan ATM and im sure he would be more than happy to get you stuff and send it onto you ;)
Cheers ya I will get on to him and see what he can do.
Lovely car, Not many 15s iv actually liked in this country, keep it up! Veilside sticker hurts my eyes but other than that, Its perfect
Cheers Lads.
what started out as a change the Front breaks to the Skyline ones got a bit carried away today :eek:
https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.n...81124599_n.jpg
Decided to Pull off everything and properly under seal inside the Arches, then decided to Strip the coilovers and Check everything and give them a good copper Grease again
https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.n...34467737_n.jpg
cannot recomend this stuff enough, i copper Greased these 2 years ago and they came apart easy as today :wink:
https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.n...39594013_n.jpg
Back to the Breaks... im Ordering Braided Lines off Driftworks... now i was told ill need GTST lines.. but the lines that came with my calipers are really Short
https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.n...29127601_n.jpg
Compare to the S15 ones that are on the Inside of this Photo.
https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.n...44731271_n.jpg
If im getting the lines should i be looking for s15 Front ones and R33 gtst Rear ones?
Dont get the drift works ones, they wont work for ya.
I got the hel ones as above, std s15 front and z32 rears. Worked a1.
got em through apex perf in the uk.
The do all the different combo of brake lines too front and rear.
Just stick with what subzero said its only 10 sterling..if you buy the Driftworks ones there going to be a full set for a skyline which I don't know if the front ones will work I doubt they will..
Your some man for hardship for a guy that ain't a mechanic to do all this himself to a car well done man..wish I wasn't a mechanic then maybe I might not be as lazy with my own car
Quick Question are you still using the Standerd s15 Break master cylinder? or did you upgrade?Quote:

I still cannot understand how that R33 Front break line is so short tho :O. I checked the rears Earlier on what you said man iid be well stuck if i didnt have the Lines from the Rear calipers LOLQuote:

Im sure it is... but ill double check for ya tomorrow.
Your master cylinder could be the culprit for your bad brakes. The hel braided lines are tasty out with all the clips for the test etc. There just boring black and not cool dw orange :)
Id be thinking the same my fronts are savage just the hand brake is shitQuote:

i pulled out the rear coilovers and split, tested, cleaned, copper-greased, and Rebuilt them.
https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.n...83601857_n.jpg

https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.n...03805339_n.jpg

Then decide to give the headlighs a quick spruce up, this was after a was all dull looking
https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.n...72423012_n.jpg
sanded them down with 1000, 1500 and then 2000 and 2500 grit paper, and buffed them up with some polish i found lying around and buffed them up, pictures dont show how much better they look but its a big diffrence!!
https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.n...43202974_n.jpg
Then finally my Driftworks super fly Flywheel came at long last :) not bad ordered it Friday through Wesley keating, he saved me E60 on the price of it and it landed this morning, ya cant ask for better service than that!!

well spent all today fixing up all the random fiberglass bumpers i have lying around. really makes me hope that the standerd bumpers suit this and im well over this fiberglass craic for a while.
painted up the new skyline breaks and polished the lettering thanks to d-turbo-lawwwwwdddddd for the paint i seen his and really wanted that shade of red ;)
https://fbcdn-photos-h-a.akamaihd.ne...46195408_n.jpg
https://fbcdn-photos-g-a.akamaihd.ne...54200258_n.jpg

before
https://fbcdn-photos-h-a.akamaihd.ne...38477211_n.jpg

https://fbcdn-photos-h-a.akamaihd.ne...73793027_n.jpg
nice handy guide on the re wiring !!
loved this all kitted, be interesting to see how it comes out . you keeping the wings ? surely after the pain it was to get them.
what exhaust have you. thats what i find the biggest prob going low not really the bumpers. although the front is a bit of a pain .
defanatly keeping the wings i trimmed the lip off them and put a extra layre of fibreglass behind it hoping that if it makes contact with the wheel they wont shatter lol i still have the steel wings there if needs be :)Quote:
