  Done!!! I am going as hard as I can from 2500km away.

The painter is hoping for it next week.

Don't like his chances.

Looking at your last shots we are at the same spot, although I cant remember if you had the donk running yet?

Good to have you back mate, you have been missed!

[NosFEratu]

so glad to hear you are getting back into the wagon Pedro - now, on what day can we expect our weekly updates?

Great news, Pedro!     (but see what you've let yourself in for... again! )

[FC427]

Great to hear you back on the wagon Pedro  .......FC427........

Welcome back Kotter

No you're ahead of me on the engine and wiring, looks like i have a slight advantage though as mines only about 30 meters away

now, on what day can we expect our weekly updates?

Yeah Jack, me and my big mouth, although i do have a certain photo of someone when they were younger that could be used to persuade(blackmail) a certain person into going easy on me

Good to be back and it's good to be back working on the wagon i need something else to think about at the moment, I'm getting stuck in first thing tomorrow as i'm hoping to get the wiring sorted too before she goes in for paint and before i have to go back to work.

Shame on you Pedro - you really think that would stop me?

Forget about it, Pedro...  she wouldn't have sent us that photo without assessing its blackmail capacity first!

(and I figure its blackmail capacity is around about -5 on a scale of zero to +10...  )

cheers, jack

Doh, and here was me thinking i finally had the advantage, should have known better after six years of trying

Well didn't end up getting as early a start as i planned but got one side done



The shape of these rare spares eyebrows is a bit out

Well the old girl is out of my hands now for the first time in a long while and the shed looks bare, spent this week doing all the fiddly bits and re doing all the FC wiring and as much commodore as i could, took her to the auto sparky this morning then she goes straight in for paint
            Pedro

[FCV08]

Well done Pedro.

Looking forward to seeing it in colour.

Cheers

[Old_Mt_Isa_Boy]

[JB]

Yes we do Pedro, but not before mine! 

[pedro]

but not before mine!

I'm trying hard to  , I want to see the old girl in paint too it's getting exciting alright thinking about how she will look all shiny , Pete are there any other air intakes for the rb30, i'm looking for something a little shorter rather than trying to squeeze it all in, the skyline ones are slightly different but no shorter, i'm going to check out a performance shop today and see what is available.

You need the air flow meter just run the stock parts with a pod filter  ill find a photo

[pedro]

The queenslander Pedro
went to his shed bro,
to work on his FnC
but when he got there
the shed it was bare,
so he went and had a beer instead



Just got back from the nut and bolt shop, they have these door hinge bolts with an allen key head now, should make them easier to get out in the future



I know what you mean Pete but i was thinking of something that came straight across the top of the engine with the air flow sensor and pod on the end, my thoughts were to get a piece of exhaust pipe the right size and weld on fittings for the breathers then it would sit at 90 deg. to the engine and would be a lot neater, would the heat from the engine affect the sensor though?

[pedro]

Doesn't show the whole thing but you mean like this Pete
