I got a cheap acetone vaporizer headlight restoration kit and it worked really well on the Subaru headlights, did all the sanding then used that to clear them up

Ahh got ya for some reason I was thinking water hoses not oil breathers 😛

Rubber factory hoses over silicon aftermarket option? or do they not do a complete replacement kit in silicon?

Saw your FB post, very interesting having air push back out the runners Havw you considered a small electric oil pump to provide higher oil pressure to the vvti?

Not boost referencing the fuel pressure reg?

Are Evo X factory injectors an option? (I know they are different plugs potentially) seems a few V10 BMW upgraded injectors list EVO X (4B11) as also being compatible. Along with Porsche 911 and AMG merc etc EVO X injectors are 550cc factory and id say a few should float around 2nd hand if people have upgraded etc (you would obviously need 2 sets)

Parts car should be dropped off hopefully today/this week, need to work out when I can get back to swap parts over (might be a few months :s) feeling like im going backward but sometimes thats what has to be done Edit: looks like it will be tomorrow, also finding out more issues as other parts being put back together sigh, not having much luck atm

Aussie registered shells are hard to get, annoyingly I turned down one about 6months ago (full running car, was in pretty rough condition tho) Also this car has sentimental value etc, I did have a moment this week considering just writing it all off and trying to get what money back I can. Need to put some items back together before I can consolidate anyway. GT4 gearbox is still apart My wheels are still brand new in box so might be able to offload them but not sure if Genuine Ray's TE37 are moving much atm. Have managed to get a parts car (pending delivery) so I can get the shell more complete/able to be road legal, potentially throw my 7afe into it with my e52 box (might need axles tbc) or pick up an e56 box etc to get it running temporarily, or source bits to go back to a 4age. And then see if I can get it wof an reg to drive here, when I visit while I make another plan Have reached out to a few freight companies to get quotes to ship, annoyingly its in a state I could go back to stockish rather then race car only and rego is still on hold. Cant ship without a working handbrake anyway, so need to get things more together And yes im definitely hating myself atm over it

May have found a dereg rolling shell complete minus engine/box/doors/bonnet that the guy is able to deliver just sorting out details

In Wellington atm, working on getting it rolling might end up getting it running/driving as close to stock as I can. Trying to get some quotes to ship it over to Melbourne. But given it currently doesn't even have a handbrake going to be a task and not sure what my options are Sorting through what I have still and what's missing/boxing things up to ship etc Steve is happy to store, so may have to make some trips over as I buy parts, may see if I can track down a parts car Trying not to feel defeated currently Edit: been pillaging the ae110 at pickapart this morning (30/12)in the rain. 3hrs and more money then I expected to spend ive got a fair amount of interior, a very dirty ac/heatercore setup (with vents) various hardware and other bits. Debating going back later/tomorrow to get more, but need to take stock of what ive got, didnt manage to get any space savers. Couple of people wrecking cars around the place, and I need to organise someone to come do seam sealing over the seam welding and reseal the underside. Along with popping out a small dent near the fuel cap/look at one of the jacking points.

@cletus assuming aftermarket brakes require cert? Ie wilwoods and caliper adapters

@cletusdoes converting from EFI to carb require a cert?

Could you machine 6mm off the flywheel?

@chris r I wonder what the cost of a custom flywheel would be? https://www.precisionengltd.co.nz I believe can do them, and I think when I last spoke with Barry at MRP he could also get custom ones made.

If you check the Wreckers in Melbourne I can see if I can go grab one for you, I think ive still got luggage allowance for when I fly over to Wellington on the 16th or I can get a freight quote. Just need to know what im grabbing Jollys you pull as an example but there is a pickapart here too
