It's been a long journey (with my level of patience) but it has certainly delivered and exceeded expectations.<br />
<br />
Friday was spent frantically trying to finish the car as I was at the workshop without a ride home. Got away late and with a semi finished car I drove away wondering what to expect... A little worried it might not feel different, that it might feel worse, that it would be too uncomfortably loud with basically nothing in the car.<br />
<br />
However, I drove down the road the car and within 10 minutes I had a smile from ear to ear. The chassis felt incredible, the steering sharper, the car felt torquer, motor running well after 7 months of neglect and it quite comfortable to drive despite it being a bit muggy.<br />
<br />
Straight round to Matt's place to show it off and take a few pics. As you can see the car is absolutely filthy.<br />

Then next day it was off to Unigroup where Matt's car was going back for a touch up tune. Then after that to John at UAS who was keen to see it. In the afternoon I had to go back to the workshop to finish off a few things and fabricate (two threads and all :P <-- AS + WS) a few pieces that we didn't quite finish.<br />
<br />
The afternoon of work was rudely interupted by the arrival of a friend of Wayne and Andrew's who has a 400awkw R33 GTR. The next 3 hours were spent 'comparing' the two cars :-P<br />
<br />
With only about a 3rd or what I wanted done completed and it getting late it was back to a friends place to help him finish changing his manifold to engine gasket which had a few hassles and then for a drive in evening.<br />
<br />
Up early on sunday and went to breakfast with a few friends who also wanted to see the finished product. Then after that had to rush back to James' place to have the car buffed as it wasn't quite finished. 4.5 hours later it was done.<br />
<br />
The car now buffed, it looks a million bucks.<br />

That was a blur of a weekend but very exciting. Still have a few more weekends of work finishing the final touches off that is a relative breeze.<br />

The car is very close but we've been fixing a number of issues the car has had for a long time and improving other areas.<br />
<br />
Aircon came out. This was a milestone as I have resisted doing this for so long. This improves cooling and obviously weight.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-Oq7kGz_OpTo/TXgnquSObLI/AAAAAAAABik/olXQc442_hc/s1600/IMG_1842.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" q6="true" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-Oq7kGz_OpTo/TXgnquSObLI/AAAAAAAABik/olXQc442_hc/s320/IMG_1842.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
Engine bay has been cleaned up while I was at it. This was a massive job. This was done in conjunction with the oil cooler being done. Air con removed really neatens up the engine bay as well.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-1dfEqxTNg68/TXgnr9IeOQI/AAAAAAAABio/Nw2lgY4ukog/s1600/IMG_1844.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" q6="true" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-1dfEqxTNg68/TXgnr9IeOQI/AAAAAAAABio/Nw2lgY4ukog/s320/IMG_1844.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<br />
Glass is finally back in! Had to use a universal rear window seal instead of the nissan one but I don't mind the look of it.<br />
<br />

Oil cooler now in the open air. Previously it was between the intercooler and aircon condensor and oil temps were getting hot very quickly. This should improve things. It was a decent job and involved taking the inlet plenum off, removing the oil cooler and sandwich plate as well as the relocator. Cleaning the whole side of the engine bay up which was disgusting and took days. The battery tray was also cut out in the process and then some etch primer put on any bare metal until the engine bay is resprayed.<br />
<br />
Then once that was complete we put the new N2 Tomei oil block one which is better than the previous Greddy screw on plate. The stainless braided lines were then bined and replaced with teflon braided lines.<br />
<br />
The relocator was also moved and placed behind the oil cooler. The whole thing required custom brackets and a bit of fiddling around. Final result i'm really happy with though.<br />

This is comparing the 265's to the new tyres. These new ones won't be used any time soon as some more modifications have to be done to the car to fit them all round.<br />

The interior wiring has been cleaned up significantly but is still not quite finished. The electric window on the drivers side has decided not to work after being off the car. The inlet plenum has been off as the oil cooler moved to a much better position. While the engine bay was apart I cleaned the engine bay which was an absolutely huge job. You will now be able to work on the car without getting handsful of grease.<br />
<br />
The interior is going to be resprayed this weekend if all goes to plan. Then the dash needs to go back in, engine bay put back together and trim/rubbers put back in round the windscreen etc.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259837585416282427.post-55399162022424781052011-02-07T16:34:00.000+11:002011-02-07T16:34:12.202+11:00The car is finally painted!Still a lot of work to do putting the car back together but its well on its way.<br />
<br />
The car was painted on Saturday in 40 degree heat. Luckily white isn't susceptible to heat unlike metalics.<br />
<br />
Ended up doing Clear Over Base (COB) that while more difficult gives a better result. We used expensive paint and thinners which paid dividends as the finish is really good. The car got 6 coats of base and then 3 coats of clear. The plan is to rub the body down with 2000 grit sandpaper and then buff giving a near glass like finish.<br />

Its a much bigger task than i'd thought it would be (and I knew it would be time consuming) but we're making progress.<br />
<br />
A friend whose name is also James is helping paint it given thats his actual profession. I'm just a jockey being told what to do learning the process. So far the exterior panels bar the doors and front guards have all been primed. That stuff is like concrete and I can see its going to be a massive job to sand.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>I've spent 3-4 hours so far just sanding the interior. The scratches put in the metal from us removing sound deadening is taking ages to remove.<br />
<br />
We'll soldier on though... Friday night will be finishing off prepping the interior for it to be primed on the weekend.<br />
<br />
Hoping to then paint the interior the following weekend.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259837585416282427.post-17032403186147806122010-12-01T16:39:00.000+11:002010-12-01T16:39:43.200+11:00Chassis now nearly finished. Its only days away from paint prepIts been a few weeks now of really hard work getting the chassis prepped.<br />
<br />
There is a few things here i'll keep to myself but suffice to say the car should now be pretty stiff from the front to the back. There is a few more opportunities to strengthen the front end but that will have to wait till the engine comes out.<br />
<br />
Here is a teaser shot.<br />

It is much more costly than i'd anticipated and is unfortunately a compromise so the cage can be engineered for the street.<br />
<br />
For those that understand cages it is a CDI weld in cage. Main hoop with single cross bar, X in the stays to the rear strut towers, bar between the struts. Front will be pretty special but i'll wait until its done to share that.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;">Obviously my work emotion Kai's and Enkei RPF1's will no longer fit so it was time to source some larger ones. Found these QF's in QLD and had to have them so had them couriered down. The had RE55's on them in 285 on the rear and 265 on the front.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">The rims are 18x10 +12. They are ridiculously light. I was amazed they were only fractionally heavier than my RPF1's in 17x9 +20.</span><br />

So Matt (boxhead) donated his car and offered to try them out. Unfortunately we could drive with them on as they don't have recesses for the spacers that were fitted. Look pretty good on the s14. These are with 15mm spacers.</span><br />

Remove all the sound deadening</u></strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">This is a huge job that honestly takes 20-30 hours to do properly with a really nice finish. Wire brush on the drill bit is the final step to clean up the last of it.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Here goes... First step is to buy dry ice. This is basically frozen CO2. Its surprisingly expensive.</span><br />
<br />

Normally sound deadening is removed from putting dry ice on the surface and then waiting till it freezes and which point it cracks and begins to lift from the metal surface. The s15 you don't get that luxury and the stuff is just nasty to get off. Dry ice helps but not much. Instead you just have to use it to help take the top layer off uncovering the dust bin underneath.<br />

The more people you can attack this with the better. Firstly it makes it more fun and secondly, it means you can take a break and give your hands/wrists a break.<br />

Said dust bin underneath. This stuff is just a nightmoare to get off. You can see the two types of sound deadening used. The areas where it has left a greasy residue is the normal sound deadening found on s13/s14 and the brown area is the newer stuff which is painful.<br />
<br />

Pretty decent bucket worth of sound deadening. We tried to avoid losing any of it so we could accurately measure the weight we'd taken out.<br />

</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Car is setup really nicely and is beautiful to drive on the street or the track.

Currently the car has spent most of its track time at wakefield but I recently overcome the fear of the walls and went to Eastern Creek and had a ball. Was quite happy for my first time there.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
