Derek

Its been long time, let me back date some stuff:

Just put in those 3G 10 grooved disk and Mintax M1144 brake pads in yesterday, once the pads bedded in, feel so much better than the standard stuff. Along that i have Cusco BMCS and Toms brake hose.

2 weeks back, my track rod and track rod end came off as i was about to go in 2nd gear, hit a bump on the road, skidded about 10meters with one wheel going the other way.

Found out that the thread was gone on the rod, so had to get new set of them, which need 28mm spanner to do, also had to get the tracking done:

Haven't been updating this thread for long, holidays off work is the only time i can work on the car.

Heres a SV mix stainless mild steel mani fitted today.

Have so much more mods sitting here waiting to be put on, i NEED more time.

Install this today, took about an hour and half.

Wired the + onto the 2bd wire on the harness, the green one. And earth to one of the bolt behind the dash.

Speed converter + de-limit, just plug in between the speedo cable and dials.

Finally got hold of this Doobie front, had to spray it myself because it was white when i pick it up. Not a bad job i done, but the lacquer doesn't shine as the other paint work??? Oh when i was fitting it than i found out it was for MK1 bumper, oh well, still got it on, but its abit odd.

Been playing around with photoshop:

Nice?

Fitted this a few days back, I can see a big difference with one of those on, when i rev it, the engine only moves a little bit compare to before, you can feel the difference inside the car too. Great stuff.

And its making my engine bay look even better!!

Once i get hold of my hybrid...

Never missed one Japshow since 3 years back.

Right, so pissed i can't make this. As i couldn't get off from work, PISSSSSS.

Right, lil update on this one.

A fair amount turned up, i got there about 1ish, had a little look around and chat with Evo and Dan. About 7 starlets were there.

about 30mins later i had to go shopping with my missus, came out at 5 all other cars disappear, only left with me and dan and hes mates. Apparently they got chucked out at 2, we didn't know where they moved on to.

Good find, so cool to see all starlet on the same track!!!

Did you do that out side? it that with a primer coat first? looks real good!!

Have you got any pic while you paint the GT, wonder how you done your roff, as i wanted to do mine, sun burn.

Hi guys, I am going back to Hong Kong for a month. If u need anything, just send me a pm and see if i can help

Can you help me to bring back some Won Ton Main back for us, hungry man!!!

Wow, how much would it cost to re-trim a per of standard GT seats.

So what, go to both, one for starlet only, the other for all Jap cars. Two different thing girl.

SUNDAY 29th JUNE, 12pm onwards

JAP MEET BLUEWATER

HOUSE OF FRASER CAR PARK (OUTSIDE NEAR TO CLIFFS)

12pm ONWARDS I WILL BE THERE FROM THAT TIME ONWARDS WITH A FEW OTHERS.

Right i have been told to forward this out, as people from other forums trying to get a Jap meet going, with lots of interest inc- Skyline, supra, GTIR, Scooby froums etc

Here the link from GTIR forum:

http://www.nissangtir.co.uk/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=23629

So bring out the Starlet boys and girls.

Anyone interested coming, as i will be there.

Or maybe start a list?

Also you past on to any other Jap forums to get a bigger turn out.

remember when i saw this gt at the blue water meet near christmas when i was a newb lol loved the kit on it. like the progress with this. what paint did you use for the rocker cover as i want to do this but i just dont wanna do it and it flake and have to do it again.

I used VHT paint or the base, then some random metalic paint then 2 pack laquer. But i think a good primer for the base will do.

Thanks for the comment by the way.

Meshed turbo...

Got fed up with the flipping EFI pipe, so ripped it off from the bay, and meshed the turbo for now, till my hybrid turns up.

Also made a heat shield for the mani, it matches the battery cover too.

Also an earthing kit was installed.

Got myself a double gauge pillar mount and AFR gauge for the bottom, and Boost gauge on top. As the Sard boost gauge was 60mm i had to make the hole bigger for it to fit.

Also i removed the SAFCII off the top, as I don't need soon for the e-manage to go in.

Shift light stills at the bottom.

Heres a pic before:

Now:

If the mani never came off the car on its life, those nuts are so tight, how do people manage to take those nuts off? like tools or tips?

Hey wonder if anyone done this before?

because i think GT seats are really comfortable, but not liking the original cover on them.

I just got a e-manage blue, which version program do i use??

Need to book this day off!!!

Heres one i seen before with a cosworth engine in it.

just want to remove the rad for the time being so i can get an air filter to the front grill.

not sure on the part number but its the belt from the uk spec n/a starlet.

I am planing to do that too, where's your hybrid from?

Just the rad you removing? what about the pump? i want to know more too

since you on about this topic, whats the replacement belt part number?

That sounds good, good for us and others who needs help.

Are we gonna do it?

Is it more people we get the cheaper it gets?

What did you do to that engine mount? it must be hard as fok.

Thanks people, i been staring it for days after I painted the rocker. Makes me feel good, after all the works gone into it.
