Just be carefull telling people to bugger off if said person was a customer of any of the shops below expect furious building owners and trespass letters. Delicate situation there.

Hayabusa engine would be fairly easy you can buy driveshaft flanges that bolt on in place of sprocket then you get a sequential box as a added bonus.

and 3-400 hp if you go turbo just chucking it in as interesting option.

Was very impressed with the turnout for a pouring down wednesday night, as was my mate who came along for the ride the diversity of cars was awesome thinking we may of been the oldest there though..... haha first meet down loved it.

Coming for sure Bringing a mate for a look, another old project owner.

i read they need to warm up  little bit put off that no one has found a way to improve that. but on other hand it is a cheap complete 5 speed conversion my mate also has a stash of overdrive boxes but cant say if any of them are any good where as he can vouch for the 5 speed. bloody british cars always options but they are always shit   cheers for the offer a spin in your sd1 just drove one yesterday, i drove my last manual triumph with no clutch hydraulics for 2 weeks while i waited for new master and slave to come in from England so i can get used to anything its not my daily.

Just been a offered a full LT77 conversion for my triumph by a good mate of mine mentioned i was looking for a 5 speed instead the usual overdrive box as they are getting pretty old now and was led to his shed and pointed at the pile of bits in corner.

Anyway would this be a good way of going reliability wise? have driven a sd1 vitesse running one of these boxes and it shifted pretty good nothing unusual about it. Opinions please.

Learn how to do this and you'll love nissans again. the car knows whats fucked and will tell you how to sort it just follow steps below.

Please read all the following instructions in full before you attempt to carry a fault code read out.

• Switch the ignition to the ON position but do not start the car.
• Depending on its orientation of the consult plug (see below) bridge the two lower left, or upper right pins on the consult plug with the wire paper clip for 2 seconds then remove the bridge.
• 
• Observe and write down the sequence of flashed produced by the engine check light on the dash. using the information provided above.
• Once you are satisfied you have all the fault codes bridge the consult pins again and this will erase any stored fault codes and revert the ECU back its normal operation.

Understanding the fault code readout:

ECU fault codes are usually displayed on the engine check light on the dash, and are displayed by the number of flashes as well as the speed of the flashes.

For example, an ECU showing no recorded faults will display code 55. The first digit is shown as 5 followed by a pause. This then followed by the second digit. This is shown as 5 short flashes. Thus Code 55 - all clear.

Important note:

Please take care if your going to carry out any such diagnostic procedure on your car and understand that this information is provided in good faith and we can accept no responsibility for any accidents, errors or inaccuracies should you decide to follow any of the information provided here. although it did work fine for me and after finding three fault codes and fixing them my skyline has never gone better. So good luck with this and just make sure you take caution when working out which ports to bridge i just faced mine upright and bridged the left hand bottom two and it worked first shot.

Spring for Hid's if you upgrade your headlights you wont know how you lived without them. I feckin love Ebay!

Check these out with a black grill would like better than angel eyes. been thinking of similar thing for my triumph as i've seen sets on ebay go for 200nzd with full hid light units. just jewel cut lenses look way better and arent to "Blingy"

May actually make it to  this meet my hectic work schedule finally has a hole in it. hard case my mum works in the destists next to burger fuel.

Hey got a bit of second hand knowledge for you that may be useful the company i work for uses merc vans we also have a v8 supercar mechanic working for us he's fitted the sway bars from the longest heaviest merc in the same series his van is shall we say terrifying to be a passenger in it grips insanely well and doesnt roll. if you beefed up your bars and maybe some quality shocks in the back to tame the bounce you should be pretty happy.

Moreys the big white bottle anything with pistons will live forever with it in the sump.

Glad to see its going to get some attention in near future

This is the place in henderson i got a few bits from guy is real helpful too.

Cam exhaust tune the absolute basics for more power. and fairly cheap to do.

So finally got some time to attack the clearance issues i had in the front since fitting new mags. pulled struts out raised the spring perch on a spare pair i had and swapped em over.

The tyre was rubbing on the spring before so its way better could go to 20" wheels now..... Dont worry i'm not going too.

Oh and took three coils out of front springs still needed spring compressors to get them back in is 60mm lower now . Going to lower back a bit more after beach hop once i get adjustable swing arm mounts in.

Bastard thing is now i have found the front suspension has been machined slightly fucked from new causing the whole tyres rubbing issue on the front right,

Shims have it solved for now but will look for a better casting.

My old hot wires are also getting a refurb and polish up and being kept as backup wheels.

a long length of pipe can crackle a bit sometimes and sound a bit shit (Think noisy harley with straight pipes engine braking). bargain muffler you can get is a hsv rear muffler big flow on a smaller engine really cut noise down most exhaust shops have a stash of them out back they will part with one for next to nothing should tone it down nicely without being dead quiet. above all cheap!

look up Red victor 1 on google that thing is inspiration to not use flares.

Porsche 928 quad or 6 rotor would be the shit. or quad rotor ve senator for a nice streeter.

So slowly started working on my clubman again and have found the only salvagable panel forward of the doors is the front right guard. The car has been in a decent smack and poorly repaired it needs alot of work to fix it and pieces have been chopped out and holes bogged over scary shit. fortunately the rest of the car is pretty straight and not rusty. has anyone picked the front off a clubman before?

Advice wanted

As long as you like it. Thats whats important. Heres a pic of my old one. with 14x7s & 195-60-14 tyres. Gave the smoothest ride & filled out the guards nicely.

^ one of my favourite cars on oldschool.

Haha i guess there is a little bit of wanting to build the car that i had 10 years ago again. Used to own a Purple mk1 with a very serious pi engine in it 16" roh zs wheels Lock diff big brakes was a absolute monster of a car and i got in a lot of trouble in it .... was awesome,

The wheels arent oldschool at all i know but they serve a purpose the car is a big lazy family cruiser so its all about traction and comfort hence it runs 215/45/17's to soak up the bumps and give the gearing a bit of a help.

hmm was one of those tried on a few at shop didnt like them put these on and went yup. these look awesome in person photo makes them look chrome they are actually machined with black detailing. Connor the hotwires are available if your keen?

Comments and insults welcome.

The car^

Few things done lately wof reg been main things Tracked down some S model goodies steering wheel and dash much more luxo.

got some new wheels for my birthday from the mrs Stoked car drives so much better bit of work to get em on front but was worth it the old 13" wheels were scary in the wet so they had to go trendy or not i take my kids in it so safety is first.

Around 45k is ballpark its what i used to do, i ended up getting a limited electrical licence so i could wire up the machines i was building made huge difference went to 60k then got poached by another company.......
