The inside of the heater box was freaking diguisting. It was very difficult to stop myself from scraping the lot out with my tongue. http://i.imgur.com/24lSEs3.jpg I decided I had more degreaser than saliva anyway. http://i.imgur.com/BG8wsxn.jpg I soaked the old foam off with thinners and used a wir...

Not many updates of late; but anyway, here I go. I'll pretend it's even worthwhile. I had to enlarge the piping holes in the support. They are getting fairly large now. I used a drill nibbler attachment to remove most of the metal. http://i.imgur.com/85dw3gB.jpg This looked like a good place for the...

NPC has quoted me $998 including GST for a flywheel and organic clutch. Apparently the use a 10" gtr sized clutch as the factory unit is just nowhere near large enough to work well without a button type clutch and horrible pedal feel. I think this is unfortunately a bit excessive for my budget ...

Seller cancelled the order about 10 days after I made it. Was expecting to be receiving the item not a refund. If he let me know sooner I would definitely be a lot less pissed than I am now. I'm looking at this http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/EXEDY-HEAVY-DUTY-CLUTCH-KIT-MITSUBISHI-SIGMA-2-6L-GK-GN-1984-8...

I've done a little bit of research and there appear to be 2 different diameters and every other property is the same. The two diameters are Disc Outer Diameter: 9 7/16" = 239.7125 millimeters Disc Outer Diameter: 8 13/16" = 223.8375 millimeters This is actually a triton 4g64 flywheel but i...

Getting closer the getting the Sigma back on the road and I remeber that last time I drove it I was playing with an EBC and the clutch was slipping up steep hills in 4th everywhere. I think I need to dive in and take the risk. With the two different type starion clutches, where is the difference? Is...

I'll just leave this here.

Paint Stripper works wonders! http://i60.tinypic.com/2dl43zd.jpg Bit of stoneguard. http://i57.tinypic.com/2ms4rcp.jpg Finished stripping the guard http://i60.tinypic.com/2pzwxnq.jpg Windscreen back in, was pretty happy to see this. http://i57.tinypic.com/24x4bxx.jpg Always make sure you clean your ...

I was asked what the wiring is for the 4G54 CAS. Here is how i figured it out. I used this to wire up to my megasquirt for trigger wheel wasted spark operation. Ideally you'd only use the CYL1 TDC pickup and install a 36-1 wheel on the crank for optimum timing accuracy. You can see the timing config...

I've also experienced it from idler arm problems.

Have you tried a different tyre? I have had trouble with crap tyres tramlining, especially when they are worn.

I too will vouch for the shitness of the rust around the windscreen.

Dab of colour,
Probably get the gaurd stripped and primed tomorrow night

Started stripping the guard. No bog! http://i58.tinypic.com/2hi4406.jpg Rust a lot better than the other http://i60.tinypic.com/348owea.jpg Blocking this bit back shitted me http://i57.tinypic.com/30a6des.jpg But I got it close enough. http://i62.tinypic.com/23kb68m.jpg Maybe some colour tonight; on...

Heater core was definitely gone. This also confirms that GK heater cores are exactly the same despite what the ebay seller told me. http://i58.tinypic.com/2cr298i.jpg Next problem with the heater is the valve. It does not work at all. I have got a universal unit but it will not easily fit. I think i...

I have an unused pair of guard lowers here. Bought them from a company that was clearing out some of their old stock, so I got the pair for $10 They say GJ Sigma on them, but I'm fairly sure they would suit a GN too if you want them for the $10 +postage. I will take you upon that. I have another go...

Last night I bogged around the windscreen. I also filed out the clip holes for the vents. I then got sick of it and watched a movie. Bad form.


At least I don't feel like scrapping it any more.

I went to the paint shop and they sold me a great big tub of aluminium based 2 part body filler.

Not much to report. Waiting on advice from my spraypainter mate about what to do next. I need to fill the pitting that is left with some sort of filler. Not sure if I should use bog or some sort of epoxy.

Last major rust I'm worrying about. The guards need work too but hopefully I can just rust convert and fill them. Full respray will come one day, but I need to get the S13 rolling again before I even consider it. http://i61.tinypic.com/qnw9e0.jpg I just used a cheap panel beating kit and a random ch...

Preview != edit. Hence the reason there are two different words!

I understand, but I tried both and it flows better with DC.

Also I only have it in 3.2mm so it goes on pretty heavy.

It is silicon bronze. I used AC but it sucked.

The edit function had been removed to suit the retro nature of the site and the cars that it covers.

On the other side, after removing a huge chunk of filler crap, I discovered this deep cavity that reminded me of tooth decay. I tried to get as much rust out as i could but was not prepared to cut it right out. At least 6 layers of metal came together there. http://i62.tinypic.com/swwp5z.jpg I decid...

I found a pic from over 3 years ago where somebody posted the exact car I ended up buying on my wall! http://i61.tinypic.com/2duxkqr.jpg I know some of this part wasn't rusted and probably didn't need cutting, but I wanted to do something about the rust festering underneath so I cut it all out. http...

I blundered around and managed to close some holes up.




A lot more work to go. Banking more upsets for when I wrap it around a tree.
