FUCK THAT

2.30 - totally thought shit was getting real...oh well.

On another note the sil is being rewired, apparently i have the worlds worst luck with work and am now looking for more for the third time this year.......recession and dickfaced bosses can suck lick my sack....so yet again everything stalls (beyond a joke now) and things i planned on doing in the future are now being done now cause....well i'm fucking bored and it shits me sitting there.

Relocated the engine fusebox+loom both sides to under the dash/behind glovebox - made a sexy plate that bolts to the pedal bolts (for US 240s) and headlights etc are being extended out while the rest is being shortened and plugged and will be accessible from the centre console if things every break etc and need sussing out.......slowly coming together and should look pretty good once its done (i hate janky built shit)

Heading to WTAC tomorrow, mega keen....and hopefully i'll find some luck on the way back through and get a job soon after i get back....crossed fingers, balls, toes, eyes and everything else

snakes on a wang

Sil has had zero done to it, might have a new home......then something that rhymes with purple dress might happen.......might.

Decided (well actually we've been talking about it forever) an 'at home project' was needed.....since my driveway is the fucking himalayas and RUNNING cars have trouble getting up it.....whats wrong with digging the hill out before you build a house......or dig a tunnel with those cool 'kids handyman/boy/lad' kits you get in showbags from the bloke with the chewbacca hands. Then bury some explosive shit and hide behind the letterbox......everybody has fun and future moans and get f'ds are avoided due to the ctrl+alt+del on mentioned ridiculous mountainous driveway.

^^^ this above shit takes 5 minutes in Minecraft with loud music distorting your thinking patterns and not even gunpowder to make tnt, so i say again....how hard could it be?.

Anywho

I'm rambling

So short story long, Joe hooked me up with one of his old bmx (he has a muesum of them) needs a seat, chain, grips and new tyres then i'm going to practice acid drops off peoples roofs, out of trees and possibly a backflip onto a moving city cat or driftwood.

Something i prepared earlier -

Stardate 101.1.2

So after what seemed like 1000 emails and phone calls back and forth of the last few months things have finally reached a conclusion. Turns out the sil has been complianced for some 8 or so years now but its plates and accompanying paperwork either never found their way onto and into the car or went missing some time in that 8 years.

Anywho......it means compliance isn't an issue now which is kinda rad so it means that the order is more or less - bay spray, engine drop, engine wire in, other random shit, rego, enjoy......or something to that effect.

Nothing else much has happened....had to make a bracket up for the handbrake cause i run r33 gear in the rear....was a real a hole but fixed now and got a job so hopefully things keep slowly grinding forward.

Peace out

Hold on my turn mf from hell

What?

Got some work done today, hoping for much of the same tomorrow and maybe wednesday, then work the following two days.......cause i just love making pocket change at times convenient for everyone but myself....hoping for some good news this week or next in that regards.

Anywho

Bay is stripped, wiring is (more or less) finished - couple plugs will have it done and dusted and cooler has been dummied up, was hoping running a 450 core would mean i could just sneak pipes in either side without having to cut but alas it was not to be....at any rate it will look super neat and i highly doubt our lovely law enforcement will even bat an eyelid........especially with yamaha and toyota written on the top of the motor :P

PICS OR BAN!






Last pics show where the loom used to come through and where it will be coming through after everything is back together. Real estate is a little tight up top on the drivers side since i'm running the factory CT12 twins but the loom will duck down far enough where heat won't be an issue.

Bay spray is now on the cards, still haven't heard whether the 'other' things are a go or not.....not much can be done without steady dollars though.







Update whenever

Zero

= # updates

things started to slowly crunch along again..now after 4 weeks of work thinking things had started to come back around i'm back again without work due to another bunch putting too many eggs into the one basket and not having enough work organised afterwards to sustain its workforce..........surprises me how we didn't fall into a recession and never returned like boba fett into the sarlac.

Anyways waiting to hear back about compliance......still. Given that everything else has been organised (1J wiring in, paint etc) and the one thing holding up the whole show is compliance i'm starting to wonder how the fuck anyone got the first s13 through importation all those years ago....because with it being this difficult now i would've necked myself back in the early 2000s.

So onto the list - battery relocate is done, couple lugs crimped on and in theory the electric side of things should all work, dash is out ready to go away for restoring/flocking when coin comes in again, entire front and rear end has been changed over for 5 stud along with driftworks polyurethane rear subframe bushes and my old kei office coilovers and interior has been changed over. All that is left is reconnecting brake, fuel and handbrake, fuel tank amd a set of shit wheels with good tyres to roll on and off trailers, in and out of paint, compliance, motor wiring and all that other fun stuff.

Doubt i'll update again until i have word on compliance and the bay has been resprayed

Stay classy mafuggers

VE SS system for sale

Tell your friends, $500 (near 3k new) trying to move my muesum of car parts to free up coin for more cool things.

Insert title here

Well since its meant to be a blog about my various motor vehicles i better update even though reading your eyelids is more fun.

Waiting on confirmation of what needs to be done in compliance (its a non-runner so whether just dropping a CA in it is adequate or not - cross fingers i know this week sometime but won't hold my breath). After having heard stories of a mate of mine getting pinged for the most ridiculous shit known to man bringing his 34 through compliance i'd lie if i said i wasn't worried the cost to get it through will completely kill its progress afterwards.

Anyway plan revolves loosely around running an S14 setup, lifting the subframe when the fresh one gets fitted, under rad intercooler and more or less get it running in fairly standard form outside of the 5 stud swap to get it through rego then break the world record for fastest descent back down to earth. Plan then is just to street it till i have enough coin put aside to swap out to adjustable gear, 2 way and paint.

Not bothering to pen dates, shit is just way too unpredictable, job front hasn't improved either but more or less up for anything now that doesn't involve things in my bottom or man things in my mouth as getting the sil on the road is now the one and only priority for me.

Heres a picture, look he is smiling how cute.

Drift Union

Must've watched this at least 1000 times since it came out, if you haven't dialed up a similar amount get your shit together and get it done.

SSC

The Thrust SSC is the current holder of the landspeed record with a speed of 1 228 km/h (763 mph). The Thrust SSC (Super Sonic Car) was the first land vehicle to successfully break the sound barrier. The Thrust features two turbojet engines that enable it to reach such speeds. Thrust SSC broke the record on October 15, 1997 at Black Rock Desert in Nevada.

up (your) date

Weather has been shit, haven't been able to paint

Went to bunnings for degreaser (got vouchers see) was like this through crowds -



ended up walking out with nothing, the good bunnings went underwater in the floods...lamesauce.



then i pulled some more gear out of storage, pulled my exhaust apart and grabbed my (uncut) reo (shit is as rare as a triple rainbow)so i can clean it up while i wait for the next couple of weeks before compliancing to roll by.

Took a couple pics of the 1j as well (ready for eoi or selling) and noticed that the turboes didn't match the motor, so either its lived a previous life as a single or blew its original twins.....either way i'm glad i'm moving away from it.

Anyway think i explained earlier than the 1j is getting ditched because things just aren't working out and need to start fresh for my own good as well as less headaches and fuck arounds by workshops that shouldn't be in business as anything but wreckers.

I've never been a fan of running piping in through the front of the guards and down under nor cutting out the headlight supports to go under the rad (even though its my preferred choice) then i stumbled upon this gem.



Had never thought of it because of the little room straight 6s in sils offer between the belts and the thermo fans but with an SR it gives you room to space the rad back and sandwich the intercooler between the rad support and radiator - keeps the cops off my back about holes, looks 10x cleaner and cements (in my mind) that i'm heading the right way.

The day the world sat down

Progress....kinda, cradle is more or less done...couple more coats tomorrow and it'll be sweet then tidy up everything else, put it back together ready for next week.




Big weekend on its way, shindig tonight and one year older on sunday...more busy than a stormtrooper on the death star looking for the droids he got told weren't the ones he was looking for....feel for the dude.

On a slighty shitty note, found one of my front kei office is leaking quite a bit so might have to donate the other three to a museum...put them inbetween the t rex and sushi displays

Srsly

Who the fuck wouldn't

Web of lies

Post below

Totally not coming attractions, going attractions in fact, on a truck, to be melted into the new ring frodo will go invisible from if he wears and hears the voice of the dude who would really like it back....you know bought it for his wife from cash converters or found it in a bon bon....story for another time.

So rear cradle and front sussy/brakes etc are all out and starting work tomorrow on the rear cradle to pull everything apart and clean it up. Rough aim is to get it ready by early next week and get it all attached to aqua then onto the front, complianced, a job somewhere between there and a motor.

Coming attractions

Woooooooah

Video killed the radio star

Ain't that the truth.

Saw some dudes on the tv earlier from a local radio station, now yes they have annoying voices normally but wow.......was like watching resident evil or playing left for dead 2.....poor dudes.."please come this way sir, you have a face for radio...its fucking magnificent".

Anyway not a lot of updates lately and i apologise so quick run down followed by probably more random shit before i get piccies up before the weekend. el greengo is currently being pulled apart....kinda like karl urban in ghost ship except with the maggot baked beans (shit was nasty) and should be finished more or less tomorrow at which point the shell is binned and we celebrate with ewoks on endor, large bonfires and x wings with force powered fireworks...its going to be proper exciting.

Play the game

Its fucking rad, on par with minecraft in fact



Would feel like a total boss walking around listening to this song and probably blow up someone's letterbox up with a kamehameha........except i don't walk anywhere hmmmmm.

Dusted off the old corner in the ipod and listened to some quest

Dickish Dick

Had pretty much the best friday out on memory that didn't involve sitting on a pit wall or hunting deer in the brisbane alps. Something like 1000 people i knew were there so i was like a pinball gunning for the TRO with the 1mil score.

Later on we grabbed subway, it was pretty knarly till i found two brown golf balls posing as meatballs in my sub....at exactly the same time we got kicked out cause some dudes with colourful shoes picked a fight with an american dude....or canadian i was just annoyed i had to walk while eating.....totally not female so multitasking is fucking difficult.

Saturday night was a massive fail except Claire had a harmonica on her necklace......that was pretty much the highlight. After dropping my car back home, getting a lift back in and having two beers in two places 500 miles apart we bounced out of the jumping castle known as the valley vowing to never go back again (well i did)

I half expect to be there this weekend or next

Other things that were successfully conquered -

my truck, its clean now so no more brisbane poo streaks up my doors

watched three top gear specials two times over, watching snow made me feel cool when the sun orbited to within 1/2km from our place throughout the weekend.

scored a bean bag, proceeded to spill beans everywhere. Came to the conclusion they did actually have brains and were rolling away from me......resistance was futile, did a piccard on them.

took me three coffees to negotiate my house sunday morning, think my neuro net processor got an emp blast during the night.

bout it

Fist bump

Ohhhh i missed i was going to fist you

Anyways

Had another rad week, still no job and i've decided my ultimate goal in life is to become the merlin of welders and get buried in the antarctic with raspberry slurpee next to a trex so we can be boss together.

Found my camera so random photos are to be expected soon

Progress 101

Could write a book about which ways not to go with mucking around with cars. Let me explain further children.

In my significant downtime that has consisted of many bravery graveys consumed and much beard stroking (my own, no homo) I have had many the epiphany and feel like an African space Christ...or something like that. Anywho prefered job seeking has changed to more reflect what I actually want to do, rather than just the constant pursuit of the magic dolla dolla bill y'all as has my idea with the sil.

I'll elaborate, the 1j and all associated shit will be getting pulled out and sold and a 25 will take it's place. Help seems to very rarely pop up without a massive pricetag attached and I've had enough of it, plus wiring is shot and needs to be done from scratch....something I just don't have the patience for with the current setup any longer.

So expect to shit hit warp 10 when it finally ramps up and will be doing everything I totally can to get this show on the road this year.

Scored front and rear in mint condition as well, front is turbo CA so has the vent, all pretty rad.
