Don;t know what to name it

Hey, in last few days I did many thing to my car, such as , fixed, and resprayed the thing that sarounds the gear boot. Because last time i did a not a good job.



Secondly I filled all the holes, fiber glassed them so they get harder and stronger, so tomorrow I have to sand them and my car is ready to be painted: D



As I said before I brought a windscreen of my mate, because he got a new one of his girlfriends dad for free and installed, so I brought the on of him for 50 $, and yes toady the guy came to install that windscreen, and it was my mate with his girlfriends dad… so I was like wtf, because I asked him like I want to get him to do it rather than some random guy, but I got who I wanted, so yeah that was pretty wired.



And I can’t get my paint before New Year, because the guy is on holydays…. But my plan was to finish the car before New Year…but I had no luck with it. So i might just spray the thing black, as is , and keep it black for a bit, and get it registered soon.

time is ticking... and its not painted yet!!!

Hi, whoever is reading this, in last few weeks I been fixing my body kit, and putting it in primer… getting it ready to paint. I have sanded the body kit too far in one spot until I got to zero… Than I worked on my hood, I did some cutting, and finishing that annoying peace … but it is nearly finish….

To the point… I ORDERED THE COLOR “WINNING BLUE” PAINT CODE: 27B, AND one of the best clear cotes around… so no-one can scratch MY CAR with their keys or nails, and also they use that new clear cote on new Mercedeses. like 1 liter of it is like 500 $, but I got it for cheap. And I ordered ice crystal pearl, and some other paint layer that you have to mix with the pearl. So when I got home I went straight to sanding my car and fill all the holes with the bog, or car filler, what ever you want to call it. It is not finished yet... I hope it will be by the time paint arrives.

And, also I have finally welded the holes on my boot, but the boot is leaking water out of somewhere which I have to fix one day.

P.S I brought the windscreen of my mate, and now I have to get the guy to put it in for me, and I had to clean all the edges because all rubber left over bits are still on it.

Title???

Ey boys and girls…. I’m in a hurry because I want to get my car ready till the 15th of this month so I got 13 more days. The body kit will need few more hours of work and than I’m done with it, finally. And yes I have chosen definitely the final color and it is that MAZDA 3 and here is the picture of it.

And with clear cote of crystal ice pearl on top and I’m tried to find the pic of the one, coz there is one that was at Brisbane auto salon 2007, secondly what I did was finished of the front bar, it is like 99 % finished, and all I have to do now is send the rear bar and side skirts and put them in primer and wait for the paint. Than I have to go back to work because I red out of money, and yes it is hard to work with no money … but I’m still working every day on the car, and I was proud at my self for the first time in a while… the reason is … the way I fixed the front bar… so happy . Now there is picture of how it looked like and how it is now.

Nearly finished fixing the body kit!!!

In last couple of days all I did was working on the cut I did on the hood and the body kit. So I had to get new brush, because when u fiberglass things you can only use the brush once, so I went and brought another brush, primer and spray paint in the can (silver). When I got home I went to paint that thing that surrounds the CD player and gear shift. Anyway I had to paint the thing in 5 minutes as it is my style to do things in a minute. But the result was nothing else but to laugh at firstly I had like 50 sending paper which is too harsh, and than I applied primer 3 times because you have to, and than spray paint, by the time I have done that, I waited like few minutes and grabbed it, and I left few finger prints on the thing, but who cares I have to do it again. Secondly I was getting the hood ready but I have to spent at least another 10 hours just concentrating on other thing, but year I took few shots of it and that thing I have no idea what it is called.





Than secondly I been full of dust in last couple of days due to sending the body kit grrrhhhhh I hated it but I had to do it properly, so I have did it the best I could so far… I even hate to write about it, but I will write down about few major things “never send fiberglass with no shirt with long sleeves because having sanded bits left over of fiberglass on your hands is like having bits of glass inside your hands” and yer I like what I have done so far and it is 90 % completed so one big yeah, btw my mates can’t wait till she gets painted and to put new deeeeeeeeeep dish wheels on it, and get it on the road legally :D. And here are some pics of the rear bar and front bar nearly done.





And my lovely trunk

Painting...., but not the car yet.

Wow long time, I haven't posted anything so I have decided to at least post something. Two days ago I been to PSI for a visit since I got hit by a car, anyway as they are always importing cars, they also got those Japanese looking cassette , cd players and yer I had chance to install one in my car, but it didn’t work :( . Few days ago I have decided to paint my engine cover red, so it took me a while to get rid of all the grease oil and stuff like that but I did it. And here is a pic.

And the final look:

Secondly I painted some interior but it is not completed yet, I have only done that thing that surrounds the CD player and gear shift. I needed primer and silver spray in a car to do it and some sanding paper and that was it, and the result is good so far.
I will post some pics of it tomorrow till than BYE.

Audio

Yo, yesterday I saw in a Junk Mail In one of the papers can’t remember the name of the shop it is called something like Strackom, anyway I have purchased two sets of JBL speakers because my dad had them as thither speakers in the living room where we watch movies and stuff, and since I was a kid I always kinds liked them, so I decided to porches JBL speakers without any worries, so I have purchased the following speakers: JBL CS2165 6 for the front and JBL CB3196 6.5" two-way loudspeakers for the rear. The both speakers are limited to 91db which is over the legal limit :D, but I will need an amplifier to make them to get to its limit. So today I went and purchased them and soon as I got home I went to install them, I started of the rear and it was so hard to install 6’’ x 9’’ to a Silvia that I would not like to recommend to anyone to get 6’’ x 9’’ for the Silvia to put them in the rear. And the reason is that I have started of cutting metal underneath the parcel shelf so I could fit my speakers. Secondly I had to cut parcel shelf to, to get the speakers in. After few hours I have connected only rear speakers and tested them :P so when I put the stereo on loudest and I still could hear that shhh sound when bass kicks in , than I just turned on rear speakers the once I have contend and put the volume all the way to the top,,,, and guess what …..Not even one shhhhh sound... Anyway tomorrow I have to finish the front ones because tonight I had to go to the doctors’ appointment to see how I’m recovering after the incident in city.

The front set:

The rear set:

And the rear speakers are in :D

(dont worry about the tint because i tryed to take it of and it did not work so i'm going to fivie it to some tint shop to take it off)

Playing with fiberglass, and my bonnet

Today was my day. In pain I decided to continue with progress on my car therefore I started of fixing my front bar and rear bar. Yesterday I brought a fiberglass kit from Autobarn and I wanted to start on my car last night because I already took the body kit of and got it ready to repair but it was too late and my best mate came for a visit. Anyways I started on it the next day (today), I started of my front bar and it turned up alright so far, but I will let you know tomorrow because it is not dry yet.

And here is a picture of few cracks in my front bar,and there is some in my rear bar but it is to hard to see because it is a line crack:

Repaired:

Second thing that I did today was the bonnet …yep the bonnet. I have decided to do a self project on my bonnet so I gave it a go. Basically I was working on the bonnet the whole day (in condition I’m) and yes it was painful but I wanted to finish it. I started of measuring and marking all the lines that I will cut, and so on. But the hardest part was bending the metal it was big pain in the ass, but I did it and I’m pretty happy with the result. It is not 100 % finished but I will show you what I got so far.

This picture is showing you what I wanted …

And this picture is what ended up … (keep in mind it is not finished yet… “Still in progress”)

And here is a pictures of working on my bonnet:

BLING

Hi everyone, yesterday night I tried to fit the LED lights that are designed for a computer into my instrumental cluster , I have downloaded the s13 manual and found which pin is positive and which one is negative for instrumental cluster lights, after I connected everything and put it back in place. When I went to test it there was not enough electricity to turn them on properly, you could barely see the lights inside the instrument cluster, so I gave up and went to Autobarn and brought a set of blue LED lights for my instrument cluster. They were just as my old ones just LED so I have just installed them and put tested them... first they did not work ,than I unplugged them and plugged them back in and than finally they were working :D. I was pretty happy with the result: and here is result:

MANUAL CONVERSION DONE!!!! Finaly

HELLO boys and girls... well the manual conversion is finally done, and it goes well, you can feel like a bit more hp added to the car due to removing dumb auto gearbox. It took PSI to finish it of 4 days or something like that, anyways I'm so glad that it is manual now... I have work hard all my school holidays, and I didn't even have 1 day off, so... it was worth it in the end. I drove the car home tonight and it was pretty wired driving auto... than suddenly manual....and it felt so wired... like thinking of clutch point all the time and stuff.. But yer I defiantly like it better than auto. And also I have replaced rear break pads because my ones were worn out to metal so yer. : P

LSD in !!!

Hallo whoever is reading this now; today I took my open diff centre out of my car, and put LSD in it while the car was still on car lift. .. And it is pretty good one. Anyways I was thinking of welding my diff up , but owner of psi told me that I can't drive legally the welded diff,, so he offered me a tough as LSD for a swap for my LSD (open center diff) and he wanted to weld it and put it on one of the drift cars.. So it was good deal for me and good deal for them so there we are. I got an upgrade now.

Accessories

Hello ... today I have dropped my car of at PSI and paid them to convert my Nissan Silvia from automatic to manual transmission. It cost me 1500 all up with the recite, and maybe including button clutch. Also I brought a MOMO steering wheel for 50 $$$ including boss kit. So that what pretty cheap, and to fit it only took me a minute. I have purchased steering wheel from Asian spares... or whatever u call them on Logan rd. And there are pictures of steering wheel and drift button I have brought of eBay.

PLAN CHANGING

I’M PUTTING MANUAL GEARBOX in next few weeks due to getting my license on 27th of October therefore I want to get my car ready for my test. Today I have been around the Moss ST. in springwood, all south east Queenslanders know where it is, always I been to couple of shops around to get prices for my manual conversion and this is what I got so far;

Flywheel + clutch+ pressure plate= 150 from all japs, or 200 of my mate with very good clutch condition.
Manual gearbox = “300” of a mate, .350 -450 and all places around is 650 bucks.
Tail shaft = 250 from panel house
Sr20 belt housing = 100 $ from Predators
Clutch master +slave = 100
Pedals = 300 from PSI

All up = $ 1250

Brought a SR20 S13 Nissan Silvia

I have purchased Nissan Silvia SR20de from http://www.boostcruising.com/ from a guy that lives at Wynnum, Cleveland like 40 km away from me, anyways I went to pick it up and it and drove it to a performance shop where I was going to do an oil chance and etc. but I was racing the car all day up the road in 60 km zone I was going 180 km/h to “test” the car, and it was so economical that it only used 10L of petrol in like 5 day of having the accelerator all the way to the bottom.

Picture of the car before pick up.











"Little accident":





I will do up the body first. I have juts purchased the body kit from a bloke of eBay for 210 $ delivered to my door, it is second hand from Japan, Japanese made body kit with few cracks ,and it is one of those body kits that are just bolt on body kit so it should be easy to fit it when I get it. I will have to repair the body kit with hardener and putty that I got at home, and sand it back. Once I do that I will pit it and try to hide the screws that I will use to bolt the body kit on. Now this is the body kit I have purchased for a bloke called Rob.



Body Kit on:



Gave up on rear wide fenders!
