Nessy, my beloved S14

[lady89]

Got an exhaust for NCT and dropped the petrol cap to a painter to get the colour matched.
not too sure if he will manage (he is not sure about it), so thinking about a plan B in case they can't get the paint right...

don't want to get a complete respray now so hopefully he can match the paint for the bodykit :S

Nothing beats a good old service. Will Nessy bit hitting the tracks at all this summer?

[lady89]

i dont think so, especially since i can use the s13 for the track now

[Hachi]

How is the S13 coming along?

[lady89]

very good!
we had her out on track in WGH and she will make an appearance in Tynagh shortly.
Gave us no problem last time, even in the dry!
Car is stripped, on coilovers, toe and camber adjusted, handbrake adjusted (as no hydro in yet) and off we go

[Hachi]

Awesome I'll keep an eye out for it next time at Tynagh. Damn though, I really want an S13 so bad! Must finish the R32 first though.

[lady89]

Will you be driving too in Tynagh or just coming up to watch?

aaah get one, Nessy isnt finished either haha


Aaaaand todays work:

[lady89]

Now...a bit of an update:

Last weekend I meant to service the car (along with a few other things).

First of all I changed the gasket between turbo and elbow. Im pretty proud of that one, besides getting the nuts loosened, I did everything on my own
Never worked under my car before, so kinda happy about it.

Anyway, battery was charged and all so thought she would start (to warm up the oil and service then).

Well...she didnt start

She turns but we found out that there is no sparks at all (new spark plugs and also tried it the old ones).
We then measured if there was any power going through the coilpacks and there is.
So for now I assume the coilpacks are gone as the car was sitting for so long and they are still standard ones.
Im getting coilpacks for the weekend now, so hopefully that fixes the problem.
If not, I will get an ignitor and hope that fixes it.

Im afraid it could be something else alltogether since the dashboard is out, maybe I pulled a wrong wire? I don't think so as I was pretty careful but I will get the wires sorted as well on the weekend (to check if all in place, I don't have a clue what wire is what)

Today I will be up in the unit again to prep the bodykit, yaaaaaaaay. it will be sprayed this weekend too
