ben_harmer32 Posted September 17, 2018 Author Share Posted September 17, 2018 Nightmare! Hope you get it sorted. Curious to know what happened with the paint shop? Sounds like terrible customer service. I will be writing a full review on a separate post to share my experiences with the paint shop and garage soon. - - - Updated - - - Car is now back. Few things to sort. Need some wider wheels but hopefully i can start enjoying it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordanC Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Love a 34, looks nice What caused her to be stuck in 3rd and the non-starting then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike2JZ Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Love a 34, looks nice What caused her to be stuck in 3rd and the non-starting then? Solenoids on gearbox were getting stuck. Idle control valve was also not reacting accordingly/consistently either. Put new box and IACV in and both issues resolved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben_harmer32 Posted January 14, 2019 Author Share Posted January 14, 2019 Managed to get my front splitter on at the weekend that's been sat in my friends shed for nearly a year. I think it transforms the front end, very happy with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben_harmer32 Posted January 30, 2019 Author Share Posted January 30, 2019 (edited) Been busy with the car. 1) 3" high flow stainless steel venom CAT. 2 days shipped from Australia!! 2) Replacement headlights. One of mine was damaged and the other was non-xenon, so now have a matching pair. 3) I want to go manual eventually, but as the car is tiptronic i thought it would be fine to fit some flappy paddles instead of the front mounted buttons. I had a spare steering wheel donated to me, and using paddles from a Peugeot 107 i retro-fitted them using some custom brackets. They work perfectly! (I just need to take them off again and make some proper covers, this could probably work for the tiptronic Supra as well) 4) Repainted my wheels as the bronze was flaking and falling off. Think that's it for now, have some grade 6 spark plugs and a walbro fuel pump on the way. Then just need a boost controller and remap to complete stage 1.

ben_harmer32 Posted February 26, 2019 Author Share Posted February 26, 2019 Bit of an impulse buy, i've got myself a complete manual swap Comes with everything i need to convert my car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_harmer32 Posted April 10, 2019 Author Share Posted April 10, 2019 (edited) Well glad i bought the manual swap as the replacement auto box fitted by Hidden decided to lock itself into 3rd! Strange that's the issue i had when i first got the car and they said they had resolved... So the manual swap was moved up. Auto gearbox was removed (was also found to have a huge amount of shaft play ) As of 2.30pm yesterday my skyline is now a manual Edited April 10, 2019 by ben_harmer32 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
