Some Soundstream turantula splits are on their way. also got all of my seals... 4 doors front rear windscreen and also boot seal. drawings are done for boot install and door trims. got two weeks off work still so i hopw to get a fair bit done.... weather permitting.

oh what a nissan feeling! Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 Mate! I been wondering what happened to your beast. Will be great to see some more progress! Quote
greenmac80 Posted July 13, 2009 Author Report Posted July 13, 2009 yeah i kno. just kinda got over it for a bit. then the photoshoot came along and made me wanna get it done again. pulled the engine down this arvo and it was pretty clean.. oil sludge wise. but is fully carboned up tho. interesting thing was that the spark plugs i pulled out were iridiums...! pretty stoked but will probs get new ones as these are black as black. does anyone have ideas on how to get the main crank bolt undone WITHOUT a impact wrench?

rjenman Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 i'd use the word "butchered" about what is done to this car, but its been done so well and comprehensively that i'm impressed Quote
simsey Posted July 13, 2009 Report Posted July 13, 2009 does anyone have ideas on how to get the main crank bolt undone WITHOUT a impact wrench? One way which I found quite good was, bolt a chain to the side of the block, and to the bit where the flywheel bolts to, then your crank aint gonna move when it has force applied to it. Tim Quote

Tim thats a good idea.. will give that a shot today. the thread go the same way as normal? or is it opposite? Quote
greenmac80 Posted July 16, 2009 Author Report Posted July 16, 2009 ok new stuff arriving! my soundstream splits! love em but they are soooo heavy and the magnet is massive! gonna be a nightmare to install! ARP rod bolts And my slotted rotors for my mx62 cressy struts! Quote
greenmac80 Posted July 16, 2009 Author Report Posted July 16, 2009 well since i got the rotors i could put my struts together. well one of em. lost a clip for a brake pad so only one is finished. these were done once before but i wasn't happy just VHT paint on the struts etc. now powder coated the caliper has been done in a high temp enamel off the gun so much better. also the springs are custom made from ryan.
