Yeah, I unfortunately missed DMCC Round 2, and a couple of Clubloose days. Stuff just didn’t go together as planned, and at one point I sent back a part that was perfectly fine because in my delirium of a laundry list of parts that showed up broken, or wrong (or not at all) I assumed my driveshaft was too short and was just being stupid. Whoops!
Unfortunately I’m still locked out of my ECM, so the car has to goto Dorschel Nissan, probably Monday, to get unlocked. Amusingly the software I have to disable the security system only works if the security system hasn’t locked itself. :picard:
Been putting stuff together as parts show up, I’ve been low on patience and time as of late but put some solid hours in on the car the past few days.
Did my filter relocation and oil cooler setup. Mocal core, and a bunch of other parts from Mike @ Innovative Tuning. I absolutely loath putting together AN- lines. Need to go buy a couple filters for it, and one for the old Nissan mount on the motor (so if I take a hit in the front and destroy the oil system I can slap a Nissan filter on and not be totally screwed for a weekend).
Hydraulic ebrake stuff is done, bled, and operational.
Driveshaft, axles, sway bars, exhaust are all installed. You can see the gap between the Y pipe and the headers for the VK which will have to be finished with some spare flanges and 45° degree pipes. Spent a ton of time going through suspension parts, checking torque, bleeding brakes, resealing a leaky oil pan, etc. Need to put fluids in the trans and diff. Should hopefully be running by this coming weekend… (I know I’ve said that before).
Short list is: Finish exhaust, fit underside V-brace/oil pan protection, install electrical master cutoff, install fire suppression system, ConsultII Lock Mode initialization, tuning, 2nd fluid change, add 6 bars to cage, burnouts!
