Lots of work in progress and then problem coming as well :o
Fitting of stock parts, fitted windscreen, lights, few weatherstrip and all locks http://img526.imageshack.us/img526/1...2021600640.jpg Took the car for basic wiring run, lights are ON :) http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/9...2022000652.jpg After wiring done taking the car for engine start, IC and brakes and fuel lines etc http://img196.imageshack.us/img196/7...2022100655.jpg http://img208.imageshack.us/img208/4...2022100656.jpg As the front brakes are from Toyota with vented rotors, but there is a problem coming, cant fit both the pads, looks like need to shim them a bit, TC and camber arms are installed http://img534.imageshack.us/img534/6...2022800666.jpg http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/3...2022800667.jpg http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/235...2022800669.jpg Test fitted the wheels as well, as sold my previous wheels, problem there again. Wheels are not clearing rear suspension parts, even coilovers are close as well. http://img444.imageshack.us/img444/4...2022800671.jpg http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/9941/...2022800672.jpg http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/7...2022800673.jpg I think bumpsteer has pushed things a bit down http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/990...2022800675.jpg http://img857.imageshack.us/img857/2...2022800676.jpg Even the wheel hub seems to be interfering, but one thing for sure wheels are drooling http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/328...2022800677.jpg http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/9...2022800678.jpg Will check again tomorrow after installing the tires. Most probably need spacers but still trying to find solutions and size recommendation as hub is different here compared to normal cars |

Got my tires from US :)
http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/8...2022900698.jpg Bridgestone RE11, proven to give very nice grip over other tires. I had very limited options when buying tires either these, Yokohama Sdrive or Toyo R1R/R888 so went with these. Size went for 195 50 15 for the front 8.5" wheel http://img337.imageshack.us/img337/4...2022900699.jpg and 205 50 15 for rear 9.5" wheel http://img850.imageshack.us/img850/3...2022900700.jpg Just managed to install the front ones yesterday http://img543.imageshack.us/img543/7...2022900701.jpg Stretch is there but not that much was expecting more http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/2...2022900702.jpg http://img821.imageshack.us/img821/4...2022900703.jpg |

Had some issues going on with the mechanic and project stopped for a while. I pushed him to just start the car and then will take the car somewhere else to do fuel lines and cleanup the mess he made with wires inside engine bay
http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/4...2031200738.jpg whole wiring is done and will start the car tonight I custom ordered full set of gauges which mechanic was supposed to hook up now but again like other things will get it done from somewhere else. It took around 8 weeks to get these done from Autometer, these are Ultralite II series, same like Ultralite but these are LED version, in the morning its sliverish white face and in the night all black with white LED lettering and red pointer. I got Speedo, Tachmeter in 5 inch size (stock is around 4inch) and then three big meters Oil pressure, Oil temp and Water Temp and last three smaller to go in place of audio head unit voltmeter, wideband A/F Ratio and Fuel level. http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/470...2022800682.jpg http://img715.imageshack.us/img715/5...2022800685.jpg Lightning is something like this and I loved it, took these pics off google from some Chevy Built http://www.lateral-g.net/g69/interior/dash03.jpg http://www.lateral-g.net/g69/interior/ill_test01.jpg Same setup comparison http://www.lateral-g.net/g69/interio...light_day2.jpg Night http://www.lateral-g.net/g69/interio...light_nite.jpg Close up Light closed http://www.lateral-g.net/g69/interior/AMtest1.jpg Daylight with lights open http://www.lateral-g.net/g69/interior/AMtest2.jpg Light on in dark http://www.lateral-g.net/g69/interior/AMtest3.jpg For Boost there is no meter will just use HKS EVO Boost controller for both reading and adjustments http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/838...2022800694.jpg |

Finally all mechanical part is done. Very disappointed with the whole experience with the mechanic but what's done is done so time to move on.
Final thing was to lay down the fuel lines, got steel braided lines, Walboro external fuel pump 255LPH and Aeromotvie 6 Injected bypass regulator along with the gauge. The lines are not aid nicely but will get some clamps done later on, along with the changing the brake lines. Couldn't take proper pics so just some crappy phone pics. http://img856.imageshack.us/img856/5...2032500765.jpg http://img694.imageshack.us/img694/7...2032700782.jpghttp://img252.imageshack.us/img252/4...2032700773.jpg http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/1...032700774e.jpg Will run the pipes along the chassis rails. such a mess with all the wires and pipes and the radiator hose needed to be changed as well. http://img593.imageshack.us/img593/5...2032700775.jpg Will get the lines clamped to the floor rail on the right, not sure how safe it will be but don't want fuel lines inside the car http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/3...2032700779.jpg fuel pump on the opposite side of the exhaust http://img29.imageshack.us/img29/687...2032700780.jpg http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/2...2032700776.jpg Got these fitting machine pressed http://img99.imageshack.us/img99/305...2032700778.jpg Installed wilwood 1" brake cylinder works fine. http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/5...2032700781.jpg There is some problem in handbrake cable, cant fit the stock ones in maxima callipers :( http://img651.imageshack.us/img651/4...2032700777.jpg I will sending the car for rest of electrical work might be some clean up and AC installation as well. |
