Hey people...

Ok so another mini update(without pics)

Like in the vid, the car starts but is idling horribly. so tonite i'll be sorting out the vacuum pipes, cuase I think that is one of my biggest issues. then I'll need to check all the plugs again to see if they give spark... I also now need to tap a hole in the hotpipe for my actuator. man still a few things to do.

Oh and I can't get the damn gearbox oil filler bolt out!!! WTF!!

I seriously need to get it out otherwise I can't drive my car... 😢 😢

So close I can taste it... but so much to do still.

Oh need to get the exhaust welded also (long story). Also fit a new idle control valve.

Thats it for now. Will take pics tonite of how the car looks at the moment.

You can fill through the shifter hole inside the car, just need to take the shifter out and throw the correct amount of oil in.

hehe. I need to put gearbox oil in the gearbox but the bolt on the side where you put the nozzle of the bottle in....

@Sokar - Thanx will rather do that then. because i'm afraid either the car will fall on me, or i'll strip the bolt.

2L of gearbox oil correct?

rratadmin09 Apr 2009, 08:26

RRiekertadmin09 Apr 2009, 08:29

Oooh... Time for mini update.

Yip oil is in and car can drive (more or less) down the road and back...

Got the exhaust welded... and uhm... ja...

I didn't do much in the last 2 weeks though... gonna work on it again this long weekend. will try and get it running(nicely) by monday.

so hold thumbs.

Hey man! yeah got the wideband. Gonna try and fit it this weekend too. pretty sick guage...

nah biki still a bit screwey... rather gonna wait until car is running then plug it in asn see if I can reflash it.

now just to check the timing... the cold idle valve is still busted... so that kinda sux. the one I got from wynand had the same prob as mine... want to try and mcguiver it... but i'm a bit afraid.

also still need to check the MAF plug 0_0

ai... hopefully I can get it running smoothly by moday...

Oh... need to remember to get powersteering fluid...

RRiekertadmin14 Apr 2009, 17:33

Bha!!!! its tuesday and still kak!

at least its idling better now. I had the ground and the signal wire connected incorrectly... :200sx_stupid: :200sx_oops:

so now that is sorted... she is spitting on idle... think it might be a plug. at least its not overfueling on idle... although when you rev its responsive and then almost dies.... not sure why???

uhm... what else... oh! i managed to fuse the digital clock in my guage cluster.... freakin idiot!! if anyone knows where I can check for that give me a shout.

otherwise I stripped the turbo off again... added the new downpipe and also fixed the leaking oilfeed pipe. now that was a fun 8 hours... 😮 😮

now I have to get new bolts for the downpipe cuase the one I got didn't have bolts with... so again my car sounds like a tracktor! 🙄

oo.... I finally washed her after 9 months 0_0

well here are a few pics...





vveecee14 Apr 2009, 20:55

nicely done - i think!

looks good when its clean.

about that digiclock, and the rest of your shit not working...

i remember a while back one of the big fuses (like 75amp or thereabouts) of mine blew. i think it was the alternator fuse or something. when that was out, nothing would work on my dash! but i think my starter still worked! although it was probably just draining the crap outta the battery!

i could also be completely wrong, but go check those big f_ckers next to the intake manifold!

RRiekertadmin14 Apr 2009, 20:57

Thanx man!

yeah... but the strange thing is the clock worked until yesterday... but the revcounter and water temp never worked :?:
