by **lawler** » November 17th, 2009, 6:28 am

Well I got some more wirring stuff done yesterday and toke some photos while I was at it. not that I toke photos befor I started

hopfly these will be water sealed enough now

by **lawler** » November 17th, 2009, 8:51 am

It offical. not working at the moment gives me plent of time to work on the car which I didnt have time to do while I was working just now I dont have money for parts so hopfly I find a job soon.

Dam it funny how projected end up being biger than you plan. Ive just been going thro all the stuff for the 31 and then rembered what my origanl plans were.

Fix rb25
Forward facing plenum
Internaly gated t3t4
3inch exhaust
Kingspring super lows
Rebuild lsd
Put passenger seat in
and sound system:?

by **lawler** » November 18th, 2009, 6:51 am

Well another and another heap of photos. Well passenger side moving the wirring done so I quickly had a look at cooler piping and luckly I just turned it 90deg from were it ran with the old low mount set up so I just have to change the join going onto the turbo due to the outlet being bigger on this one.

then started movint the drivers side wirring. I should probly point out Im not trying to hide all the wirring just making the bay a little cleaner

now you see it

now you dont lol

by **lawler** » November 22nd, 2009, 2:54 pm

Well due to mine and my girlfriends 6 month old pup getting parvo and having to look after it I havnt been able to any more of the car lattly which sucks but the pup is getting heaps better so thats good

by **bigdell** » November 22nd, 2009, 4:35 pm

this will be a beast when finished.
do you have any newer pics of the dash. as it looks mad.
thanks david

by **lawler** » November 22nd, 2009, 5:15 pm

Na man I havnt done any more to it yet and also been waiting on the rest of the gauges and also Ive gota fix all the wirring up I kind of did it in a few min so i could drive it. Ive got another idea im thinking about doing to it because the big gauge thats in it dosnt fit the best but ive gota get another dash bit to try it on.

by **lawler** » December 4th, 2009, 1:02 pm

Well it has front wheels on it for the first time in 5 months lol. I fergot how much it needs lowering more.

Started doing more to the wirring and that then strated thinking its to much efford but Ive already started so may as well finish it

by **lawler** » December 4th, 2009, 4:42 pm

Well removed some more dodgy wirring not that you can tell much diffrance in the photos and trimed the top radiator hose so as its not rubbing on the TPS

by **misk** » December 4th, 2009, 5:07 pm

looks much nicer man.
will be a nice package once its all together!

by **lawler** » December 7th, 2009, 7:15 pm

well did some more and found even more to do then toke random photos

drivers side relays

Jacked it up to take a photo for a mate off the 33 front struts and a good time to grab a photo of the bushs

this is the full suspention drop bearly higher than standard

Next bit of wirring to move the harrness is gona run in the iner geard then out a hole with a rubber gromet next to the brake hose

by **huggiebear** » December 8th, 2009, 1:19 pm

this is coming along nicely. cant wait to see it finished

by **ClassicAU** » December 9th, 2009, 5:25 pm

LOL @ slick tyre!

by **lawler** » December 9th, 2009, 5:29 pm

ClassicAU wrote:LOL @ slick tyre!

Lol yeah that may have been on of 3 sets rear tyre that went on it in 2 weeks.

It only got put on to move it because my mate has my front tyres on the front of his tyres due to his being stuffed and needing a set for the front of his for drags

by **lawler** » December 13th, 2009, 12:42 pm

Well had some spare time yesterday and went and started getting some price for the rest of my suspention/steering set up first lot of price I havnt had a chance to shop around yet but heres what it is so far

Nolithain steering rack mounts $44.95
Nolithain steering joiner $66 (but i Might just make a brass on up)
S13 Tien Tie rods, rack ends and extra lock spacers $250 (to go on my inport 31 steering rack)
Whiteline strut brack $240
Whiteline front swaybar $220
Whiteline rear swaybar $240
5kg springs for rear of Bi6tim $300

Just gota get some price on S13 to camber tops

Oh and I might be changing what ecu Ill be using due to Adaptronic have aproched me about doing me a good deal for an e420c with adaptor harness and 3 bar map sensor. So hopfly I can get them down abit more for a sticker going on the car next to the munro engerneering modz sticker.

Also Just after appionons on my idae for my exhaust.

Ive gota get the dump pipe re-done for the new turbo due to being high mount, diffrant flange and also wanting to get ride of the guttered cat thats welded it to the exhaust so I was thinking of going 3.5" off turbo to about half way along car or to diff (depends ont the price) then merging it back into the 3" fot over the diff and aslo so i can keep using my Redback muffler.

In thery when the exhaust gasse first come out of the turbo they are the hotest and as they flow under the car they get cooler there by shrinking so the 3 inch would be suficen will the 3.5 would flow more when the gass are still realy hot

by **lawler** » December 18th, 2009, 12:56 pm

Well I finaly went and picked up a few of my other gauges so thought I would sit then in the cluster and start working a few bits out with it. Ive just gota take my the colum bits out so I can work out were to put the velcrow for the remotes for the Gauges. This is only a dumby made one thats why its only clear perspex

by **lawler** » December 23rd, 2009, 8:11 pm

Well br33nt gave me the encoragment I need to go do some more work but I didnt end up getting much done due to getting side tracked on a mates car

Well I pulled the turbo off to drill and tap the fitting for the waste gate line and got bord and started polishing the compressor housing. only toke one photo so far when I first toke the housing so will take photos tomorrow when I drill it and how the polishing is going

by **lawler** » December 24th, 2009, 9:07 pm

Well started cleaning up the writing on it and cleaning the cast marks up

by **lawler** » January 9th, 2010, 8:51 pm

Well finally did some more changed my mine on where the cooler pipping was gonna run and manged to shorten it by about 3inch and yes while it will probably not be noticeable every bit helps. Also drilled and tapped the waste gate line fitting into the turbo, started working out how to mount power steering and my dual stage boost controller. then put fittings in for turbo water line but that's as far as I got before I had to leave it

by **lawler** » January 11th, 2010, 10:51 am

Well I started working out water lines for turbo. Ive got make brackets up and heat wrap it. Ill let the pic do the talking because ive gota go have a nap before work

by **huggiebear** » January 11th, 2010, 10:59 am

it wont melt being that close to the manifold will it? i would assume after a bit of punishment it would be mighty hot in there
