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

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.
