Awesome, its looking pretty good hey? There's a weird high pitched noise if you listen to the video.. any ideas what it is? could be the clutch? or the exhaust, which is hanging loose..?
You can counter to counter the package from the post office.. my closest post office is Cresta in JHB. Just send me a tracking number? Id appreciate it TONS!
NICE BAKKIE BTW!

V-belts on the RB tends to be noisy at 1st, after a few good revs it usualy settles down

V-Belts? power steering belt? fan belts? sounded metallic to me.. didnt want to run it too long, no water in rad etc.

nope, the nozzle goes on the s/s tubing at the intercooler exit behind the bumper... the blanked off fitting on the s/s plumbing just before the throttle was put there for future use...
that fitting is tapped for a NOS fogger...

Call alberton seals and hydraulics, ask for a 100x50x12x12 - R220 for 2.. U will need to drill the car to make them fit though..
They fit nice, but are 10mm to shallow. I had to space them to get em to work.
Will let u know if it works out
Rims are lekker hey?

Installed Turbosmart Fuel pressure regulator and a whole bunch of new hose and AN fittings.
Were done, other than some wiring glitches. Will be replacing the fire damaged stuff sometime, think its working for now though, so if i can just get it running ill be happy.
