Thanks Wayne
just as i said before this is the easy half
well i do have a vl diff centre in the shed, i was orignally going to send that to graham (boss) to put a spool in it for $100 bucks or so then save for the lsd
i might still do it but im a bit unsure if im keen for a spool
wandin54 the engine bay is quite dirty actually nice to see you like it
ha yer not too far really, just bars and moulds to paint and get it running
then random stuff like tint, rego, wheel alignment, dyno run to check mixtures, insurance etc
interior will happen later,
really pushing a apprentices wage as is let alone looking into what i want doing on the inside
4 courlsons aint so cheap
picked up my whiteline adjustable panhard rod tonight aswel as my penrite sin75 gear oil
today picked up my last moulds and parts for primer this morning
rh rear door mould
lh front door mould
all three rear bar top moulds
both rear bar mould end caps
all three front bar top moulds
lh rear bar end
another vn fuel flap
a full AFM loom length and plug
a full dissy capicator loom and plug
two really good condition holden nose cone badges
going to try and prime them all tonight
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
extended the dissys capacitor loom, ran it under the the CAS loom and dropped it off the front off the dissys shaft, then simple looped it under the capacitor into the plug
spent a little while aranging the leads to get the just how i liked
kinda perdantic aint i........:thumbsup:
not happy with the panhard rod, looks too clean, now i want to make everything else match under there:cry:

although that right rail does look a little dirty *runs out side and washs it* ha
_____________________________________
a little shopping today
new Navara battery switch - i didnt quite like the look of the other one i have
a AFM connector for pods to suit nissan afms
2 silicone straight connectors
few diffrent sized clamps
diffrent lengths and size oil pipes
1ltr of power steer fluid
so i got onto the list i made for what i wanted done today.
finished all the power steer system (plumbing) and filled it all
no leaks soo far
drained the trans of oil, removed the centre console and filled it up with the fully synthic penrite oil
sorted out my rocker cover breather pipes,
ran them through the manifold and off the back of the k frame
built up the AFM with the connector and pipes. still need to get one more mesh as i removed one ages ago to try and make that little bit better of flow with my intake piping
mounting it under the right had rail so its hidden fairly well

You should put tyre black on all your hoses n stuff when your finished, so the bay like totally A1 .
Very nice man!
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
ill get around to detailing it soon Wayne, once its running ill polish everything and clean all the pipes etc with some rubber cleaner ive got at work
cheers 7four7
if you were refering to where i was holding the afm nah thats where ive cut it in now
____________________________________
well yesterday, got a mesh for the afm and went down to autobarn, bought another silicone adptor as i had the wrong size and there ordering in the other side
cut the afm into the cooler pipe and got it all lined up minus the connector comming
today
extended the AFM loom, ran it along the rail with the vacum pipe and tied them neatly to the power steer piping
towards the front i curled it back under itself so that it pluged into the afm straightly and not stressing the plug
played in the car for a while with the main power cables ended up going out for parts
got battery terminals, eye loops for the switch and borrowed the cable pincher tool from auto pro
after a while mucking around i figgered out it wouldnt quite allow the glove box to shut where i wanted it, so after thinking and mucking around for a hour i decided to mount it out in the foot well
it wont look to out of place once the fire extinguisher is near it on the tunnel
the cableing comes out the side of the switch and straight into the lower dash cover
so its not visable
tommorow when i drop the ute off for window tint ill be getting some prices on batterys
and they will have another isolator switch in for me
plus im on the market for new headlights
i washed the car with out the high beam caps one ages ago and since then theres been moister on the lens, looked at them today and now theres a big pool of water in both of them
any who picture time

looking mint mate you haven't rushed this job at all.
that is a power isolator switch
because ive moved the battery to the boot i need to be able to kill the battery in case of a accident and shorting out the cable
that one will kill the power to the front half incase i aint able to exit the car and ive got one onto of the battery box in the boot to kill the whole car
just a safety feature
obsesv glad you like my fish tank lights, not sure if i should put gold fish in or tropical????
the globes will keep the water warm for the tropical so i wouldnt need a heater
glad you like the car

update
well just bought some new headlights on ebay then
$128 for two new head lights and two new indercators plus 28 for postage
so no too bad, they are tyc so there prob the best aftermarket brand you can get
got a call from autobarn and my silicone connector arrived today so ill pick that up tommorow after work
yesterday at work the head panel beater made up alot of panel bond glue for a job he was doing, too much on purpose
so now my manual console surround is half fixed, just need to wait for it to fully cure (48 hours) then sand it to shape, if need be build it more in spots and prime
some big news now
messaged my mate daron today about doing some work for me, mounting my vs cd player and........ last wiring on the vl
if all the elements are good it might be running sunday
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
well got it running for a few seconds last night
i need to play with the timming a bit though
i was over the moon i was last night, buzzing with joy
although i hope i didnt wake everyone around my area at 1130 when i was trying to start it
was a bit loud hehehe
headlights all work so thats a good sign too
little teaser
just show there is defently power in it
new headlights arrived today so ill get them in eventually.
still trying to figger out the running issue
Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
_______________________________________
well got all new globes in my headlights now
still havnt tracked down my running problem. im leaning towards the fuel pump having a prob
will presurise the system and the car will run for 3 seconds then dies from no fuel
the pump isnt buzzing either when running
Video of running and stalling (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIFntAzQ0iM)
Will the intank pump presurise the system without any help from the ext. pump?
Like what I am trying to say is the intank is offering enough pressure to fill the system but not enough to keep the car running?
If one pump is dud the car won't run.
Looking good as always legal6. I'm not a fan of your cluster, but it's great to see you doing your own thing.
I just noticed yopur engine pipe - what brand is that?
sounds about right too me Wayne, but im not quite 100% on how it works
this morning im going to have look at the fuel pump before i go out
check ive got fuel coming through at the front end
thanks 5spdvl, the cluster been done for a while
did it in 2006 and changed the wiper button colours too
might change it back too stock eventually but i dont mind the red and blue
well the pumps are working but appears that we cut out the metal relay on the inner right skirt where the battery normally is
my fault as i told my mate it was a trans relay too
turns out this relay activates the pulse of the injectors, which explains why ive got not injector pulse
so ive got another loom from u pull it and tommorow my mate is coming up to look into it and see what we can do
