info@stacked.co.jp the way to go if you're not looking at purchasing from dealer auction

Looks like yours is a 250 so you'd need this link to scope out spares and used stuff - http://auctions.search.yahoo.co.jp/search?p=250+%E3%83%97%E3%83%AC%E3%82%B8%E3%83%87%E3%83%B3%E3%83%88&ei=UTF-8&oq=&auccat=26318&slider=0&tab_ex=commerce&istatus=2

It's not looking great.. but if you find something send me a PM we do the containers

Would make more sense parked aside a GTE wouldn't it?

Pewhuehue

Hahah didn't have one at my disposal 

Customer/friend came over today to collect something. Couldn't resist a quick photoshoot.

He also works at a compliance centre and reckons the rust spots I pointed out to him aren't really a major compared to some things he's seen.. makes me feel a bit better haha

Getting more excited now

I remember those first aid kits, mum had one in her 89 lancer

Majority of them are made in China anyway including Fenix and Redline. Usually the cores are all good but watch out for the caps

Saw this when I was in Japan 2013

Dude was goin hard too, looked a real hoot

Yeah could go in as either but probably easier to rego it as a classic

So i'd be shit outta luck trying to import this and make it road legal? http://page10.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/m175090486 (won't let me copy image, sorry fot no photo!)

That should come in using the over 20 years rule

Oosh saw that Midget on Trademe, good score!

Alto Works turbs are so deluxe.

Also I'm guessing many of you will have heard of Hello Special - http://hello-special.com/

Yep going over, will be mean as per

So after about 5 months of not starting the car, it's time for it to wake up! I went about doing a few pre-start checks..

Oil? Black.

Brake Fluid? Half missing.

Clutch Fluid? Black.

Water in radiator? Yep.

OK good to go. With a new battery it cranked over really well, took a little while due to no gas in the float and mechanical pump but no worries. Little rough as you'd expect after not running for so long but once warmed up and the fuel was flowing it feels strong.

I didn't actually take it out as there is currently too much stuff around and I couldn't be bothered moving it.

Still have a few parts to come in the next container shipment like springs, brake discs etc. I'm not in a major rush so container is all good. The current springs are very uncaptive cutties hahaha. Rides pretty well considering though,

Alex you have 2 new cars that are heaps good. You dont need gay hondas.

4 cars in total, but why stop there? Must collect more !

Geoff failed at trying to convince me to part with my AT.

Find one, they're great.

Hit up Jerry at Big Brown

Yeah tell me about it, I was this close to giving up then I found some obscure post someone made on a Z forum and it was like a night and lightswitch had been flicked. I felt like such an idiot haha

Ok so now that you're enlightened about how to put the electric motor back together - how do you do it?! I did it recently with 3 people and a collection of tweezers...

It's still a major pain in the ass but to get the bushes back in their springy home while you're fucking around with the rest, loop the wire around the little catch at the end of each bit. That probably makes no sense.

Assuming that's what you're talking about.

Not too much happened recently but for the sake of documentation I'll add it here. I picked up one of those C-Tek chargers which worked wonders on one of the old batteries I had in storage but no bueno on the Skyline one so I need to buy a new battery for that. No major, they're around I just haven't got to doing it. A couple of small rubber bits did arrive though the other week so got to installing them.

Nice new rubber seal around the bottom of that cowling. Can see a bit of rust on either end of it as well as perhaps some quick repair done. These are common places for rust on Hakos so I suspect when the time comes I'll have to pull all that down and repair it properly. Repair parts are available for these areas.

And these little rubber caps for the wipers were busted as you can see in the top picture. Replaced as per bottom picture.

Yep, thrilling stuff.. but it keeps the momentum going I guess.

It's sometimes the little things that make all the difference so I had a couple of bits I really needed to get fixed up. I purchased a new gear boot a while ago but the silver trim ring was smashed to pieces, the centre console is in poor condition with some pretty agricultural repairs so not entirely surprised.

I have this one hook underneath which I've since been told isn't meant to be there, so I'm missing a bunch of clips that go underneath here which secure the shift boot onto the trim ring.

Previously I purchased a replacement rubber boot for the shifter hole but I got the wrong one, now I have the correct one. After a bunch of prodding and poking, got it in there.

So without all the clips in there the shift boot sits like this. Deciding whether to get some new woodgrain stickers but if I'm going to eventually replace the centre console anyway maybe there are better things to spend the money on.. really want to get a different shift knob though.

Oh definitely could, but already have some of the parts here. Anyway, story for another time

I see you're pretty handy with making coilovers, can one purchase your services?

Did you know:

Not all 10's and 110's came with Intermittent, indeed it was generally only the lu'X'ury model, with all its other fancy trimmings like electric windows, etc.

Phwoar. I tell you. Things were crazy back in the day.

I'm glad I don't have electric windows, just another thing to fail haha
