[joeschmo_57]

fucking sweet. nice colour too.

What wheels are on the back?

[mayday]

Cheers mate, they are actually hilux 4wd rims. I was going to re drill the hubs to 4x114 but 15x8 hilux rims are cheap and easy to get hold of so it will do for now.

[-ollie-]

fuck this is a cool car man. whats the colour in the engine bay called?

[kickit]

how far back does your gearstick sit
did you have to modify/cut stuff
and
got a pic of rear coilovers or is that still in process

[mayday]

The colour is called mid grey. Yeah the gearstick sits back a fair way but only because I recessed the firewall and sat the motor right back. If you sit the motor in the normal position with rb20 box it comes out pretty close to stock. I boxed a section around mine to give ot a bit of strenght as it came out through the floor brace.

The coilovers line up with the stock shock mounts. I just have to make some sleeves to go over the bolts.

[kickit]

very good
love how everythings nice clean and simple

wat clutch stuff did you use all rb or mixed with ca

[mayday]

Yeah mate rb stuff. Got a Jun flywheel and five puck.

[ke70kid]

loveing your fab work man,car is looking sweet.

[kickit]

wat made you go rb box instead of ca
strength...
also wat clutch master are you running

[mayday]

The shifter on an RB box comes out much further forward than the CA box. I think they are pretty similar in strength. Stock AE clutch master with remote res. Finally moved it out of the carport today and washed about an inch of shit off it. Think I am going to leave it brown for now. Just got some crappy 7 inch skidders on the back at the mo. Got some 8's that should fit good with a bit of stretch.

[kickit]

looks like a promising build great work

is that cooler piping one of those ebay package deals
or did u custom make it urself

[mayday]

Cheers mate, nah its custom piping. Some of it came with the motor I bought and just made the rest to suit. Wanted to flip the cooler and run shorter pipework but it hit the headlights etc

[kickit]

wat radiatior is that you are running

[mayday]

Not too sure what brand mate, I bought it off the local silvia forums.

[CRO747]

tuff as any updates?

[mayday]

Cheers mate, yeah little bit more done. Finished mounting the rad and cooler, fitted rear sway bar and pumped the front guards out so I could drop it to where it should be :). Also got most of the wiring sorted so shouldn't be too far off now! Can't wait to fang it.

[70rolla]

Fucking awesome build quality work

[dr1ft-pig]

qualitarrrrrr nice work man, i like

[mayday]

Cheers guys, it's getting there slowly. Have some more pics soon, hopefully with some smoke!. Need to sort a rear swaybar but I don't know if the whiteline ones will clear the hilux diff? Also have to re chop/weld exhaust as it sits too low. Hoping for a reliable 250ish hp at the treads.

[Seventy]

Fuck I love this car, so neat.
BTW keep the brown dude

Super tidy build man! good motor choice too :)

[Jacobxxx]

awesome! is it going on a dyno? would be sweet to see some figures

[mayday]

Yep booked in for the dyno but not till the 28th. I'd be happy with 250 at the treads. Should be super responsive with the gt-ss.

[keimeier]

wow awesome work dude!

[s13 james]

looks so sick,love the brown with longchamps,neat and tidy in and out

[mayday]

Finally got a tune last night. Didn't have much time on the dyno but got a safe 250 atw. Took it for first drive today. Soo much fun and really responsive. Stoked!

[lappy]

Sweet build!

[mayday]

Cheers mate. Anyone have any tricks for bleeding hydro handbrakes? Have bled it three times now but can't seem to get the last bit of air out.

[Jdm-Mcc]

Pull the lever up, pump to floor with foot brake slowly and steady until the lever has tension behind it, then lift the lever and crack off the rear bleed nipple, repeat that till your happy

[mayday]

Yeah have done that a few times already. I cracked it at the handbrake itself and seemed to have made it better. Cheers

[mayday]

First drive the other day. Soo much fun. Got an all day drift prac this Sunday, Itchin to take it for a hurt. Will be my first time drifting so might be interesting. Hopefully no damage!!

[Jdm-Mcc]

Best first drive video ive ever seen! haha

[claw]

crack both bleed nipples, give the handbrake the lightest pump, then let gravity do the work for 5 minutes

[mayday]

Best first drive video ive ever seen! haha

Ha ha yeah thought I better blow the cobwebs out

[mayday]

Cheers claw, I think I got it sorted now. Doesn't lock up untill the lever is right back but it should be ok.

[Jdm-Mcc]

Still spongey?

[mayday]

Still spongey?

Feels ok but havn't actually driven it since. Will take it for a spin tomorrow

[claw]

just give it a bit more of a normal bleed, should bring the pick up point down a bit, you usually fine when you gravity bleed, youll still have an air bubble or 2 right at the slave
