The left hand front brake line was far too close to the manifold for my liking and also was in the way of the heat shield. I had ordered a 90 degree banjo but it still hadn't arrived. It became apparent I needed a devious plan. http://i61.tinypic.com/66x16h.jpg Unfortunately Mitsubishi flare fitting...

After my turbo conversion, I am having trouble with my 'Heavy Duty' RPM clutch not handling the power. It tends to slip in 3rd and 4th gear at about 4000 RPM and up. I am wondering if a Starion/Conquest clutch may fit, such as the one on ebay here: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/AUTOCOM-Stage-2-Clutch-K...

(Catch up posts) Had to drastically modify the bonnet latch. Still not sitting right. Also incorporated a piece of rope as a secondary restraint as i had to remove the factory safety latch. http://i59.tinypic.com/35kol7r.jpg http://i60.tinypic.com/znwv4k.jpg http://i58.tinypic.com/25rfnfb.jpg Interc...

It lives! I have had taken it for a drive and got the tune working OK! Quite a lot of power and only on 6PSI. I don't think i should up the boost as the motor is stock compression. Handling is absolutely insane - steering feel is amazing. Turn in is hard and the stock seats do not do a good job of h...

Whoops - no edit function !? THis is meant to be the last pic

Throttle cable is just a bicycle brake one. I dilled a small hole in the throttle pulley and used a nut/bolt with a hole drilled in it to put the end stopper on. http://i61.tinypic.com/ea0e1k.jpg I've seen cars with the gauges mounted on the bonnet. I thought I'd take it one step further and mount t...

I had a problem with the original EFI conversion where my idle was always strange. I found later that the idle stepper was stuffed (Open stepper coil). I just blanked it off as it was a huge piece of equipment that looked ugly anyway. I am going to see how I go with no idle control, then maybe add a...

Never give up! The beauty of wire is that you can cut or join it without a lot of tools or skill; It's not like many other car crafts where if you stuff up it is game over! Often any problems you come across will be somthing stupid like hooking the spark leads in incorrect pairs or missing a vacuum ...

Just a random image http://i62.tinypic.com/2gtqbfs.jpg Old loom (TR Magna I think - I didn't cut it much originally, just bunched and looped it in the conduit) http://i61.tinypic.com/29xek34.jpg For some reason I take pleasure doing this http://i62.tinypic.com/w7ygsn.jpg Was going to machine up a 36...

Thanks heaps! Quite slow but I only really need the electrical one so i can wait!

I used leftover piping from my S13 to do the rest of the cooler piping. I had some new 2.5" on order but it still hasn't arrived so I just used this. It's not hugely visible and it had the ports i need already in place saving some work. I deliberately angled the outlet side of the intercooler t...

It would be very nice if these could be online again. I would like the manual for the GN.

Before I could weld the bends onto the intercooler, I had to enlarge the openings in the radiator in the radiator support panel. Because I only wanted to use the side of a holesaw I had to bolt in a bracket to drill through so that the holsaw had something to locate itself. http://i57.tinypic.com/2g...

nice update can you please picture the straight wheel from the profile iam interested to see how the angle of the wheel looks now I don't really have enough space in my shed to get back far enough to get the whole car in the frame like that I'll get a good one once I have it moving. I've been reall...

Tonight I raised the front suspension as far as it will go without different hydraulic fitting. This gained me enough clearance to get the jack under with the wheels straight and a little bit of a run up. (Probably 15mm) I cut the ends off the intercooler, and also cut up the donut. I plan to do som...

Nice work bloke :thumpsup: Thanks! Tonight I got the back suspension in place. It's stiff as hell and will probably kill me in the wet. Well I guess there is no happy like tail happy! Firstly I cut the commodore springs down. I removed some material from the inside of the coils to try and get them ...

The IGBT I used was a IRGB14C40LPBF from Element 14; chosen simply because of free overnight delivery through work and availability. The datasheet states that it is the most rugged in the industry and that it is designed to drive coil on plug automotive ignitions from a logic signal. At any rate it ...

This weekend I went to see my father for his birthday. This resulted in a lot of drinking and I didn't get much done on the car. I did get some little jobs out of the way and I am going to post about them just to keep up the habit. Firstly, I welded a flex joint in the the zorst. I put it where the ...

what engine management will you run on the engine?

I'm going to be using a Megasquirt 3. I was going to use a Megasquirt 1 but I don't like it. I think the benefits far outweigh the extra cost.

Have you thought about welding some 90 degree bends on the cooler outlets to make things easier? Ive got a 30 degree 3 inch mandrel bend here if you can use it? Looks like I'm going to have to go down this path. I am going to use an aluminium donut, and enlarge the holes around the bumper brackets ...

The bends kind of need to squish a bit to get through the holes that are there with the bumper mounted. I want to avoid cutting the firewall if at all possible. It's all 2.5" so I can't use that bend but cheers anyway.

Intercooler turned up. Looks like it will work out well.

I began making a bracket up for the coils. I know it looks close to the manifold but there is ample space for a heat shield to go in between and it should receive plenty of air cooling. If they die they are only commodore coilpacks and I tend to pick them up for 20-30 bucks a set. I was going to use...

Well I didn't get a great deal over the weekend. I had to deal with normal housechores and CNC some 1UZFE flanges for a mate. What I did get done was weld up the exhaust as it was all only tacked, get the mounts in place, weld the o2 bung (I decided not to worry about the EGT sensor for the moment)....

Like any project car.....lack of funds/time kills any form of (speedy) progress and also family/work commitments tend to recieve a higher priority than the project cars Apologies. My comment was stupid and clearly incorrect given the response it generated. I can totally appreciate that not everybod...

OK. Seems like the site in general is pretty lethargic in all honesty.

I'm tired. It's late. Here are some pics to bump the thread up and prove it's not dead. Just getting ordinary jobs out of the way. http://i62.tinypic.com/2cptdm8.jpg http://i59.tinypic.com/24e9a2f.jpg http://i59.tinypic.com/keezkk.jpg http://i59.tinypic.com/n6w9ee.jpg http://i61.tinypic.com/14t8zlk....

Thanks Geezer, I went to unit for a couple of years but then dropped out as it was sending me crazy. The marking system is extremely dated and spending hours on end scrawling notes was stupid. All of the work you see here is self taught. I have completed a tafe course on fitting/machining, but that ...

As the front of the car was sitting even lower than before, I needed to lower the back even more. I cut an extra coil out, but now with the stock shocks the springs would no longer be captive. I think I would have a bad time if i was driving spiritedly and ejected a spring mid dori. Here is a pic of...
