So starting to feel a lot like this lately



So said fuck it and went and bought a load of nice bits to keep interest up.

Larger throttle body


Picked up a baffled sump off Seamus McCooey



Also the first of the engine rebuild parts came. Brian Crower Springs as retainers.



Then got onto Brian from KaberPerformance. Went and met him and walked away with rear toe, traction and camber arms and front tension. These seem amazing quality and have heard nothing but good things about them. He also filled me in on some stuff he's working on so keep an eye on them for some amazing parts soon.



Ya have ta throw on stickers too so picked up some more (more arriving not in picture) to add to the collection. Sure who doesn't love stickers!




Engine awaiting to be stripped in the home of sr's over with Petko.


Threw a bit of paint onto the PartShop Max knuckles


Just waiting now to send the hea off to Robbie in Tdp to try and drop the compression and machine out the mush areas. Should have more updates next week.

More shizzle for my carizzle






Also picked up these at a bit of a steal. Genuine bomex if I'm not mistaken. Pic taken from car they were on.


Have the car back now, looking awesome and with the help of Petko and Gavin (d-turbo-lad) we're making good progress. Hopefully no hiccups to come.

so was trying to keep the colour a secret, not because its something mad but just because I like surprises! But now I'm not arsed, having a slump with the car and hopefully hearing yer comments will make my inspiration lift again. Went with r32 skyline grey, knew I wanted some shade of grey and after seeing this colour in the flesh a few times I knew it was the shade for the car and also wanted to keep the colour something Nissan. Like I said, I hadnt planned on showing the colour so the pics arent great and the wheels are all wrong aswell as missing bumpers but ye will get the general jist.

On the lift getting the cage in and kaber performance arms fitted.







JSpeed wing braces fitted


After an overly long wait from Robbie in tdp and after excuse after excuse I finally got my head back with the mush areas machined out. Then went to engine re in Castlebar to get the springs and retainers fitted.




Picked up a nice little daily for myself. Needed noise back in my life after I sold the mivec. Just a dc1 but may get a b16 when the 180sx is finished



Also got some replica takata harness's for it. Seem good quality. And for what I'll be using them for reps will do the finest. Think the black will tie in with the interior better than the green ones.


When stripping the engine we spotted some wear on the oil pump gears so waiting now for a rebuild kit. That should be the main buys for the engine out of the way then.

Thats all for now. Hopefull bigger and better updates soon.

I like the colour! The rear is screaming for the red kouki lights.

[NoelB]

Kouki lights are everywhere now though. Up close the 50/50s suit it really well. Would love to put koukis on it but just too many cool cars have them now
