Keeeeeeeeeeping itttttt

[andy_yu]

You know u want to RB25 route:D or even RB26:nod:

[Starks]

You doing the deadning removal this time of year then??


I was thinkin of waitin till it gets colder so goes harder, started removing some today, got it off the turrets but the floor just seems to sticky and warm at the mo... any tricks u using??


Looking good tho, will watch with interest :)

[Anth4130]

I take all the easy bits off first (where it's not fully touching the body) then gentle stab/scrape at it with a flat head screwdriver and take chucks off like that. Then with the harder stuff I scratch into it criss crossing then just stab/scrape at it again. Just becareful not to scratch the bodywork too deep, I've not done that yet *touches wood* the primer has covered over the light scratches - I'm going to be finishing it off in black

[Chriscooke]

Whatever happens will go in here

(one at the front)


Why don't you and the guy behind swap the front ends over and your cars would both be sorted:nod: no messing:wack:

[Anth4130]

We did swap... :p I wanted the standard front end, I like it more

[Chriscooke]

We did swap... :p I wanted the standard front end, I like it more

Thought you had tbh:D Car looks good btw:thumbs:

[kingj]

I used a chisel and a big hammer:wack: if you angle the chisel at a 45 degree angle and hit medium hard mine popped of reasonably easy,it was rubbing down the stickt brown tar residue with petrol that sucked! be careful not to dent the metal with the chisel though.

[Noz]

I tried as many different methods as I could think of removing my sound deadening. Apart from dry ice.

1) Hand + flat-head screwdriver
2) Hammer + chisel
3) Heatgun & chisel
4) Soaking in white spirit.

1) Boring, painful, slow. Shit.
2) Perfect for the boot section, and certain parts where the adhesion to the steel was poor or non-existent.
3) Perfect for the inner arches, transmission tunnel and front floor sections. Quick-as-you-like :thumbs:
4) Fcuking LOL! Allows you to remove the bitumen with just tissue paper. Liquefied bitumen = Nasty & messy.

[Starks]

Ah right cheers, will get cracking slowly then :wack:

[S13_dr1fter]

to remove sound deadaning purcase can of liquid nitrogen pour over use big hammer:smash: :wack: or complete opposite use blowtorch and scraper get it bubbling then should just peal off real easy then use wire brush for stragaling bits

or get somebody else to do it :D:whip:

[Anth4130]

An hour and halfs work from today, back tapped out :( I think I have some help tomorrow and Sunday though :)

http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e23/tonee4130/SX/DSC00272.jpg

I found a chisel too hardcore, seemed to dig into the metal a bit... hammer + screwdriver worked perfect :thumbs:

[Anth4130]

Had some help today :) just got the back of the arches to finish off, then it's time to go underneath the seats

Before
http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e23/tonee4130/SX/DSC00273.jpg

After (ran out of paint...)
http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e23/tonee4130/SX/DSC00274.jpg

I should really get around to cleaning out all the mess

It will actually be going black

[drax]

I had great fun doing that in my BMW, screwdriver, hairdryer and hammer... Took a while, was abit sticky, worked a treat

[Anth4130]

Dun dun dunnnnn

http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e23/tonee4130/DSC00270.jpg

http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e23/tonee4130/DSC00271.jpg

Just need to sort out the wiring... blue reverse lights :wack:

Debating whether to keep it white or get it resprayed black.. hmm

[boro_andy]

Looking good chief, everything go ok with the wiring etc?

[Anth4130]

It started raining and as usual my back tapped out, gonna hit the wiring tomorrow :thumbs:

[Anth4130]

I really should finish one job before starting another...

Still got sound deadening to remove
A little bit of wiring for the rear lights
Now the other rocker cover to paint

:wack: I'm sure more will mount it soon enough

Nice and vibrant

http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e23/tonee4130/SX/DSC00265-2.jpg

[nitros]

getting stuck in there looking good tho keep up the good work and the updates :D

[Anth4130]

http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e23/tonee4130/SX/DSC00266.jpg

It's a little dirty, and gonna redo it again when I rebuild the engine... overall I'm happy with it :)

Today I done the other rocker cover, and started doing more tar removal - I think I'm gonna go to B&Q and get some pipe freeze and freeze it then break it off!

[Anth4130]

My new snail :wack:

[nitros]

that should give you some fun :D keep it going doing nice there looking and progressing well :D

[Anth4130]

Finally my back is a little better and I can handle more than 10seconds of 'work'

So now I've got the head off and turbo manifoldetc (3 bolts on the front pipe/elbow were a pain in the arse :mad:

Now I need the bottom end, box and propshaft out... then it'll be grinding the flange off the CA box and sending the CA flange, z32 clutch housing for a bit of loving as with the CA and z32 propshaft!

This picture makes me 'lol' a bit :wack: shows a little more perspective

http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e23/tonee4130/DSC00265-1.jpg

[Gymbob]

a ikkle bit bigga ;) lol

[kingj]

Looking a good project mate,keep it up and glad your backs better:thumbs: now get some more pics up:wack:

[Anth4130]

I borrowed my uncles Driveway jetwash... the engine bay is cleaner, gonna use some gunk and clean it again... I sprayed some of the bodywork and it's a new colour lol, it's getting a respray though.. apart from that done bot all else

Wonder if it'll fit the standard manifold without fouling anything :wack: probably not... dunno whether to go top or bottom mount though

[kingj]

Id go top mount if you can mate,it just makes access to the turbo easier imo.Its coming along though:thumbs:

[Anth4130]

Didn't take many pics today...

But FINALLY took out the WMIC... yey!

I've taken out the washer bottle as I'm gonna relocate it to the rear of the car... the motors are fubar, so I'll have to see what I can do with them - ideas anyone? apart from buy a 2nd hand one

All the gearbox bolts are off (mental note, still need to drop the gearbox oil!), I just need some help with getting the bottom end out - I'm not gonna try and lift it myself, it'll just pop my back straight back out :wack: [hopefully done this week!]

I'm going to be moving the PAS resevior onto the cross member, but then again I might take the PAS system out... I won't be drifting it [will be decided and done this week]

I'm going to be relocating the fuse boxes, not too far away from their original position - just too tidy it up a little [will be done this week]

My lowering springs are faulty
http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e23/tonee4130/SX/Image006.jpg

Whats left of the engine bay
http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e23/tonee4130/SX/Image007.jpg

Anyone know how to stop the lights popping up opposite to each other :wack: I'll be off to search after I've posted this, but it's quite annoying

I'm guessing I'll have to drain the diffs' oil so I can take the propshaft out?

[Anth4130]

I obliterated the sound deadening today and some other daft jobs... got dark before I realised so no pics... nowt exciting anyways really!

But... wtf is this!? Must be something to do with the OLD alarm in there?
http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e23/tonee4130/SX/Image009.jpg

And some NICE wiring to go with that same alarm :cry:
http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e23/tonee4130/SX/Image010.jpg

Here's my URAS lights lit up - I couldn't take a brake shot by myself, so sorry ;P I'm gonna take the lense of the centre piece and spray the back ground black...
http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e23/tonee4130/SX/Image013.jpg

And my side-light/indicators, they're orange and flash brighter
http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e23/tonee4130/SX/Image014.jpg

Not many holes under neath the sound deadening :) one each side...
This ones a bit worse, seat belt part is not touching the floor :eek:

[Anth4130]

Removing the dash didn't go to plan, somehow one of the bolts that I need to take out is upside down... god knows how the hell they put it in there :S just that ONE bolt stopping me :rolleyes:

And whoevers project thread I saw about reducing the wiring... I HATE YOU! :cry: :p
http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e23/tonee4130/SX/Image009-1.jpg

I stopped there because I need to get the dash out...

[sxbaz]

nice progress there fella, im currently stripping mine, my shells generally rust free compared to most but id recommend stripping back some of the seam sealer around the boot and rear seat area as mine was hiding some rust that im currently doing battle with, its a PITA but best do it now.:thumbs:

[Nis]

Ghetto looking Almera there dude!.

Ivan

[Anth4130]

I'm gonna be removing the seam sealer so I can do some stitch welding, hopefully it's not gonna be too bad!

Gotta love cheapo work horses ;)

WOOHOO!!

6KG of wiring... FOR AN ALARM!?

Oh I know there's some bodge jobs in the world but... gaffer tape instead of electrical tape? A PLASTER instead of electrical tape... :cry:

[Anth4130]

Wasn't the easiest thing to do by myself but I did it
Prop, box and botom end out

http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e23/tonee4130/SX/Image025.jpg

I'm proud :wack:

[Anth4130]

My cars home away from home

http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e23/tonee4130/SX/Image029.jpg

Time to get some serious work done!

[baz f]

ooo that looks like its gonna be fun , having a adapter made up eh? kewl:thumbs:

[Anth4130]

AFAIK no one has made a flange for the z32 box - CA bottom end (there's KA and SR I know of) so I'm gonna have to get my thinking cap on... if not I'll have to just cut and shut the CA Gearbox flange onto the z32 clutch housing like what I was originally going to do

They dont look that far out looking at them, id be tempted to knock up a wooden mock up and have one made, or buy a slab of ally an make one my self. I recon a bit a billy would do it :nod: then all you'd have to do sort out a hole for the starter

[Anth4130]

I think I might be having a change of plan... 6 cylinders ;) we'll see!

http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e23/tonee4130/SX/Image003.jpg
Going to be making new archs hence no primering on them

Bit o Boredom (not that I should be with the amount I need to be doing!)

[Anth4130]

What a pain in the frigging arse that was to get out.

http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e23/tonee4130/SX/Image001-1.jpg

Time to get the soldering iron out because it's not going to be anywhere near the size it is - and the majority of it will be inside, connections that are needed outside will be extended out there

I've also marked up alot of things to angle grind out - tubbing the arches, removing rust etc

[kingj]

Looking good dude:thumbs: nice to see Ive been quoted in your sig:D the wiring looks a nightmare:eek: good luck with it fella:)

[Anth4130]

:P

Actually to be honest the wiring is pretty easy - doing 1 wire at a time minimizes potential errors and nightmares :)

Well the wiring has started, it may not look pretty 2 reasons... 1 Its not going to be pretty anyways, 2 it's not taped up (I'm gonna have to buy some shares into electrial tape :ninja eyes m: )

Main aim is to get the fuse boxes and all the wiring inside, shorten some wires and extend the wires out that need to be out (Brake fluid, indicators, lights, etc)

I'm 100% confident that nothing is going to go wrong basically because I'm cutting one wire at a time

[Anth4130]

Look what Anth has

He might also be converting my car into a pickup aswell, gonna talk prices with him pretty soon and shall keep yous informed ;)

[Anth4130]

Today it actually looked like a car for once in a while! Then we took it apart again to spray x_x

Will be happy when it's all done... my dad spotted one run in the paint but if I wanted it perfect I'd of sent it to be painted :P it's for track not for shows :)

[Anth4130]

Seats - IN!

Front end of the carpet - IN!
Assortments in :)

All I need now is;
FMIC
T28
Remapped chip
(Then tax/test/insurance/job)

Rust free bootlid+spoiler

I've found 2 rust holes... and some of my interior repairs have started bubbling with rust :censored: frigging hate rust :cry: *would love to give Nissan lots n lots n lots of cash to re run the s13 chassis programme for a fresh one :rolleyes: *

[Anth4130]

Just a little crappy update

Found passenger seat belt! :thumbs:

PAS pipes in - need fluid and brackets for the pipes!

Give it a quick start up (<1 second as it's got a stage 3 chip and not alot of oil)...

Still need a turbo (at one of my dads mates garage, still unknown whether it's a t25/t28 MIGHT be a t28 as the manifold is SR shaped) so soon I can melt peoples faces and smash all their windows MAHAHHAHHAHGHASDGhOJSFXKJCBVKL IGHS :whip:

All wiriing sorted which results in;
Me playing with the pop ups for quite some time tongue.gif I was even playing with the windows :rolleyes:
Tested the blowers and got a face full of cobwebs and shite :cry:
Fuel pump singing again
Some lights not working - front indicators and sidelights, passenger wing indicator
The rear lights weren't working at first... then I realised they weren't connected up :wack:
Couldn't play with the horn because I don't have the centre piece of my steering wheel :p

Once I've bracketed up the PAS pipes, I'll be putting in the radiator (then looking for some pipes for it)

Now just waiting for lots of places I've applied for TO GIVE ME A JOB :whip: :)
