yeh that's something I must do, probably not for a while tho , It's not only the bottom of the sill, it's the bottom of the front guards as well. Despite the can paint, The side trim is the best spray job I have ever done. looks new, Also I am very surprised It also matches up the front bumper plastic colour. Next step suspensions.

very nice interior man. it's funny Door cards and rear seat cards are different to Jap imports So want your seats and other tidy bits.

god, that wheel arch is porn man. Have you checked it with CFX or similar fluid mechanics package? It might make lifting force rather than down force.

OH boy~! My dream car man.

so while putting the bumper on, I mise just take the guards out to check the rust etc. mainly clean the Dirt and Leafs at bottom of the guards. and also surface rust killed primed up the door hinges. While Everything Looks super clean, There are some surface rust at the draining exit area. The reason for this mainly is because of shit design. There are three lays of metal and it is sealed with these factory sealant. So,bent the last layer slightly, Sand, rust kill primer, Epoxy enamel paint. The other side I probably pushed bit too hard, found a small hole from a sealant came off. looks very factory, so the sealant covered up a hole from factory? Anyway, again sand, rust kill primer, epoxy enamel paint then sealed it with urethane. Also, sanded the bottom of the front wheel arch to check rust, found only steel. so that's good sign. Fish oiled the bottom of two guards ,and Put everything back. the new bumper looks shit? or I need to get used to it.

This thing is here today. Going to put it on. If anyone have a Nearly new , or good condition Rear Zenki bumper(coupe, or hatch, 85,86,levin, trueno all the same) please let me know.

what? overnight now?

Tightened up all the exhaust bolt, still have start up tapping noise. it does seems go away few seconds or warm up later. Overall the engine is bit noisy compare to new modern engine due to the exhaust manifold mod?. but then it isn't as noisy as the last Megasquirt bluetop. Currently running 10-40, ok next oil change would be 15 40.

I thought 20v injectors are very robust. the blue top ones are bit noise. I don't know but doesn't sound like them. will get screwdriver attach to my ears to hear the noise.

Nah, changed it 1 month ago, I always change them every 6 month and hardly drive these oldschool cars tbh.

From the engine, or some part of the engine. shell hx7 10w40 http://www.shell.com/home/content/produ ... x_hx7/hx7/

It's definitely on my to do list. just trying to ask more reasons on this issue bro.

No, didn't use new gaskets either. they're piece of metal like gasket, and no damage on them, why should I need to replace it? solid lifters, so what else could cause the noise?

yeh, that could be a problem. I know in fact I miss one of the exhaust bolt. However, I have noticed the tapping before I changed the exhaust system.

It's already leaking like a drop a two a day., i am happy with that. hopefully it won't leak like 10 drops a day? better ideas?

Since I had this car, The 4age bluetop does have some tapping noise while it first start in cold, but when it gets warm it seems to be better. or maybe my exhaust and diff is so noisy I can't hear it. I have done bit research and found this might be the easiest way to treat it. http://rislone.co.nz/catalog/view/117-e ... ment-44100 Don't have the knowledge nor have the tools to replace the valve lifter yet.

don't worry. It's all fixed. I have done the tensioner as well. see the pictures etc here. viewtopic.php?f=17&t=32712

Very keen tbh.

so , Some of you might know the crank pulley came off, luckily it was resting on the underbody panel(Lucky most of this car's under body panel are still here) Thanks for KK and OS GC guided me thru the following process. Found the crank pulley bolt at Tama autos. bought new Alternator belt as last one was stuff while the pulley came off. As I was already there, let's check the Time belt tensioner as well. Pulled it out, It seems to be good, except tiny bear noise. So screw that, bought one from Now my best mate Keisuke at BNT. under 48 dollars, while repco wants 98 dollars LOL. Cable tie is a great way to make sure your cambelt doesn't become loose after you pulled the tensioner out. Was bit mission to get the tensioner spring back together, Then I found it's way easier to push the pulley as close as possible tight up the nut. so didn't have to stress the spring as much while putting it on. then loosen the bolt to let it adjust itself. and tight up again. Going to torque the Tensioner and Crank pulley up soon The following picture is pure pornography. thanks STEVE This thing probably worth more than mine engine LOL. Has same torque as Mitsubishi Evo and WRX STI. It beeps and vibrates like your Iphone while reach the set mark. So Easy to do the crank pulley nut up. it's like using 1/2 drive to tight up a 10mm bolt.

Really? haha, thanks, I am so confident to do it now. So that also means In the future if the cam belt broke, it's just inconvenience non- engine damage then. haha, very good news.

Cheers, Sp, I have steve one over the weekend. I will see How that goes

ok, Cheers man. would like to do it tomorrow.

well, I am worried that the Belt is new abut the tensioner looks bit old. Not sure, How can you check without pulling it out? Can I turn the engine one and see how the tensioner sound like?

Kk sorry, got you confused, The Indent is at the back pulley the Line is at front pulley. I did use the the indent for timing a while back, which worked well. DJZ that's a random picture. Since, I am already here.Going to do the tensioner as well Shouldn't need to remove the timing belt(new). I had good read the manual a bit. All I need to do is make sure the engine is at the TDC, where all the cam and crank shaft marks line up. Mark the position between belt and cams. Pull the thing out, new one in, torque it up. 4mm free play of the belt. Keen to give it a good go.

Sorry, should have searched bit The internet says the dent. I was just very confused, why the bother to have the Line there at the first place? Or Some one Made the line afterwards??
