LS 2 THE DEEE

Pretty sure platinum wheels do it

Hey sheepers!

I'm having same issues with clutch pedal using the original master off the w55 with my r154.

What master were you going to convert to?

Can also offer digger work and car painting services to sweeten any deals lol

It's a bit last minute but I'm heading to taupo this weekend to give the cresta a hoon.

The trailer I was gonna use is a bit short and it overhangs and gets it sway on.

Soooo I was hoping a gc on here with one would accept my money an beer to borrow there's for the weekend

Cheers

Drive in, New Lynn did an awesome job on mine for the same price edl were asking to do half the work

To be honest im not sure Ive always cleared over basecoat let the clear bring the shiny to the party.......never have I cleared pre existing shiny.

I personally think it will be A...Ok just use good product

You can get clear etch primer these days and then clear coat could be an option

Will attempt drifting it... It's going to keto for some love in the steering department at some stage so this weekend is going to be a before an after experiment haha.

Next time if you're out when I take it out your welcome to have a blat!

Anyone going out to Hampton on Sunday...all going to plan might have the cresta out there for other people's amusement at my shit driving lol

Been awhile but things have been done since last update.

Got driveshaft sorted, went to drive in and what a good crowd to deal with. For the same price as ADL they pretty much remade the drive shaft using v8 universals and the front half of a jzx90 shaft. It's stronger and probably for the first time since I owned it balanced haha.

I also put smaller Intercooler in and put headlights/ front end together.

Got wiring done....went for a drive...didn't latch bonnet and it flew up bending the corners, I'm lucky the hinges are so beasty..Got off pretty lightly.

Got mail order wof and drove around abit. So happy with performance of the factory 1j compared to what it was...next is some track fun then once my shed is built will tidy everything up over winter including rust and possibly a color change come next summer.

Pretty poo update but will include better photos and videos next time

I started it with a loose budget on what I thought things would cost and exceeded that long ago.

I would say after everything is sorted including website, glassware, advertising etc probably be about 20k maybe..that includes cost of the caravan

And in regards to license because we only serve the alcohol the person hiring the caravan provides we don't need one.

We will be getting liquor manager license etc so we can eventually sell it and make more money to spend on my car haha

Wheels look banging!

Where did you acquire new clutch master cylinder I need one for the 51

Yeah when clutch is at normal position ie not depressed it can move forward.

Once warmed up or after taken for a quick spin you can hear it still engaging as you release pedal in neutral but won't move it.

I'm just wondering if the slave isn't throwing out enough.

Seedy al I got clutch an flywheel altogether out of a running car and was mint in said car

I'm also a noob and was surprised when it started taking off when I started it over the pit haha

Not sure was on the on the car when I got it. I have a replacement slave I got with the clutch.

Where would I acquire a decent master from?

So basically the problem is when the car is in neutral and clutch is out it is engaging and can move forward, on axle stands will spin the wheels quite quick.

Once warmed up will ease off a lot but is slipping in 2nd a bit, a lot in 3rd and so on.

It has og although looks newish gx master cylinder and r154 slave. It bled up real easy but when I went to redo it a bit of shit came out at slave end and was a bitch to bleed and had nothing at the pedal. Leave it 5 mins and the pedal is back to normal.

Just looking for expert opinion for a solution...I know fuck all

Cheers

Anyone able to carry out the deed of locking a diff for me or recommend someone that can?

Do you know if he does lettering?

How much were lips delivered if you don't mind me asking?

Drive inn is good, he made a drive shaft for $120

 

 

I just got a quote for $200 to supply and fit 3 universals on my volvo from him.

Thats sounding good I'll give them a call tomorrow

ADL quoted $630 which I thought was pretty steep so want to shop around a bit

I need some work done on my driveshaft

2 universals replaced and a yoke swapped, looking for good recommendations of businesses in Auckland to carry out such work.

Cheers in advance

After I've had my time with the cresta a soarer is on the list....know of any Kurt? Haha

FYI.  Def better on 14's! 

 

Also, a vid of the above Cresta with laggiest 1GGTE in the history of 1GGTE's.

 

 

Good luck with your build man!

Love that vid....some good inspiration....looks like a bit of a handfull......GX51 drift whale coming up!

$630 bucks for two or 3 universals fitted and yoke swapped over seems pretty ridiculous to me! Unis are like 30-40 bucks a pop plus about an hour to fit if you know what your doing. or am i missing something? does the yoke need to be modified to suit? 

Yeah I thought that was steep

the yoke is a cut off old and weld new one in its place, then 2 universals and balance.

I havent had driveshaft work done before so have nothing to compare it to
