Lack of updates~

cool it..

the radiator hose burst out few days ago, due to a bad clamp..

Photobucket

decided to give the radiator a good cleaning. Using a NULON radiator flush before putting in NULON coolant plus 4 bottles of mineral water.

Photobucket

the oem radiator is a KOYO..

Photobucket

also tested the KOYO radiator for jza80 supra, need alot of modification to fit, its also hitting the hood..

also strip the interior during the weekend, checking for any corrosion, clean the large carpet and sound deadening removal but then decided not to do it as the purpose of this car is not for track/racing or watsoever..plus its noisy..

As we go, we bump into few problems.
The brakes lines call it time, decided to replace it with an Endless braided brake lines.
Oem stabilizer link arm wear out, and not in the correct mouting position to the JIC suspension, decided to leave it till i got the s13 link arm.
And yeah, the brakes, have to stick to original as im out of green. Sold the R33 fronts in december and still havent got the replacement yet.

Replaced the leak brake master cylinder. Since we are removing the brake lines, we still have to bleed the system, so might get this thing done as well.

After doin few kilometres, the car has its own problem. clutch slip at 5k rpm, the power steering or pump, handling need to be freshen up..thats all i can remember now..

most of the cluster not working,instead i put in apexi safcII,pivot speed meter and omori water temp meter to monitor important indications. this is for temporary only as i have plan to put either digital cluster or custom clusters :)
