  1. Might have to intercept it at some point mate and have some bits off it so you wont pass me on the track
  2. This was how my old one was fitted so I just copyed it. Hope its right
  3. Check your brake pads aswell my rears had 50% on them after a few 180mph runs they was no more
  4. im going to remove the rear seats before the track day sat so ill get some for you then mate
  5. has to be done mate still trying to get used to this one, should master it by the end of the day though
  6. Thanks for all your comments the harness's i used the two bottom seat belt mounts then used the rear seat belt mounts to pick up the shoulder ones, once adjusted they sit well. The trd strut come with the car
  7. After spending long nights at work and a few weekends, a couple of months later im now happy with how it looks Picked it up from Neilg with it needing finishing off, this was just the sort of project I was looking for. After looking it over I desided to start on the interior with in a few hours it looked like this and the neighbours though I was mad The dash pannels needed repainting so I gave these to supra loopy to work his magic on, I then needed some guages to keep a better eye on things, it already had 2 hks guages so I thought I might aswell get the rest. I managed to pick an oil pressure guage up from ebay then an oil temp on here. I bought an aem wideband and an apexi boost controller and a twin a pillar pod to mount a couple. The seats were odd when I got the car one being a recaro and the other oem, I desided i wanted a more racey look so bought a pair of omp race seats with 4 point harnesses, I then made up some sub frames and bought the runners off ebay. Now its all fitted its really changed the look of the interior and im really happy with it. The next project was the engine and engine bay, spent a few hours stripping that down and cleaning a lot of the bodywork. I then removed the cam box covers, water elbow, intercooler pipework, intake plenum, throttle body (removed the traction control, welded up the holes then smoothed), took them to work and polished them up. bought the following for it Fluidine rad coil pack connectors (the origional ones were not there, just the wires poked in the sockets) oil filter thermostat fuel filter 16 row mocal oil cooler, had some braided lines made up with swaged ends, relocated oil filter. light weight pullys chrome turbo blanket. millers oil I made an after market expansion tank from ally for it, painted the cambox covers black, removed the carbon canister, fitted some blue silicone hose, cable tyed all the hose joints, plumbed in the boost controller, welded in the aem boss to the exhaust and then heat wrapped it. The power steering pump had a nasty wine after stripping it and spending a day messing around with it had a look on here and found the answer, it was a little oring that was dragging air in causing it not to pump properly. Im having the car mapped by RyanG on thurs once this is done Ill be happy with it as its just running off the wastegate pressure at the moment after RAF Marham this weekend I will be getting some of the body work painted, mainly the front bumper as its cracked I have repaired it but dont see the point in having it done untill the trackday is over. Loving being back in a supra though the Skyline just did'nt keep the smile on my face
  8. Ill ask me mate dave as he has an r33 might be able to swap a few bits over to try
  9. I have just about finished my car, I have a week to try and get used to driving it. The good thing is its as lively on the back end as my old one
  10. try borrowing another afm mate, if they are anything like the 300zx it will give you all sorts of readings
  11. your best of buying a spare stub axel, put your disk on that then mount the caliper, make a template from cardbord and go from there as the brackets will require a fair bit of shaping. From memory the brackets need to be 12mm to give the right spacing
  12. did the tyre man get arranged in the end? not sure what to do if hes not there
  13. I had this with mine once the main fuse blew the siren thought the wires had been cut so it done its nut 1am in the morn. do you have any power to the unit now? it will be worth you going over all the joints and make sure you have a good conection, I had mine serviced all he done was replace the fuses then spray all the bonnet and door pins
  14. speak to paul at whifbitz mate, he has these in stock
  15. Im going to be putting the gearbox back in on sunday with a twinplate os giken clutch, just wondering the best way of fitting it back in as getting it out with a standard clutch was a mission enough. Was probably going to drop the front cross member a bit then tilt the engine to gain a bit more clearance, is this the best way? also does any one have the torque settings for flywheel bolts? osgiken cluch assembly? A fitting guide for the clutch would be handy aswell thanks
  16. Hope to have the supra finnished by the end of the month Need to finnish off putting the rear axel back in my locost kit car ready for summer Once the above are complete I have full running gear from an s13 200sx that im going to graft into a kitcar for a nice weekend toy
  17. The skyline owners forum havebeen allocated 10 spaces for each day, should make it interesting:)
  18. At a guess these will be around 8 pounds to post, I got them from replikit or something like that
  19. I was going to mount them in the exsisting bottom holes then mount the shoulder ones to a bracket off the rear seat base (they may even pick up on the rear seat belt points) if you have a roll cage fitted you could mount them to this im sure some one with a pair allready fitted could help out
  20. Great looking car mate some one will get a bargain
