Some toys arrived today, Ichiba 5x114.3 Hubs, and yellow stuff pads... thanks to 'Import Parts'.

but im confused.. cuz when i ordered the hubs Jerry said they would only come with the front bearings, not the rears.
So ive been stressing over organizing rear bearings the past 2 weeks..
but it seems to me all the bearing have been supplied, so im stoked, but ..maybe im wrong.

Howzit
the Claipers we bought from NZ, the fronts are off an R33 and the rears from the Z32. The fronts look very similar to Brembos but they're actually called Sumitomo's?!

IT LIVES... well almost

Seems my wiring is shot, bad earth somewhere making everything including my GoTech boiling hot:( i must say BIG thanks to Gary and his Ballie for helping me get the thing to the xhaust shop, where it is now, for xhaust and cage build:) then off to a sparky for the wiring.

Some shots with the wheels on, temporary tyres, suspension set to high so it can climb ramps etc:) The green stripe on the rims is going soon as possible!

we need to get on the ladder before this is running cause when it is we got no chance of being at the top.

SABOTAGE!!!!

im not to interested in drag ladders, so you guys can fight amongst yourselves for that one:), let me know when though.. i wouldnt mind watching:)

ja Reece i couldnt agree with you more, the green stripe is sif! But i was quite suprised at how well the Z rims fitted, even if it takes a bit of camber to get the rears under the arches:)

Gary and his ballie whent out of there way to get my car to the Xhaust shop on time, where it had been booked in for weeks in advance, but it has been a classic hurry up and wait story:( sorry for the stuff around Gary... the oke has had it now 3 days and all thats happened is he's taken the old xhaust off and the turbo flange has been lazer cut, wow.., im a little pissed off becuase i even took 2 days off work to be there while he was 'supposed' to be installing the cage and xhaust. intitially he told me id be ready to roll it out by thursday, which is tomorow, ...so i had planned to be giving 'good' feedback by today:(.. anyway he's promised to have it done by the end of next week, so lets see:( .. if its not ready by then, then i'll be telling you guys where NOT to have your xhaust done!

A fair amount of work has been done, the xhaust is looking good.. sitting nice and tight under the car.. not yet finished but im happy with it so far. The roll cage however was made wrong first time so i had him start again.. it's looking good now, my only issue is he ended up using 2mm rather than the 3mm like i asked for,, a number of times!! But otherwise his work is really really good, and im satisfied with how its all turning out. we're going to build the C-pillar brace into the cage. He's welding the cage into the car, which is better but the only problem is this will mean i wont be able to remove the dash. ..progress photos so far...
