Used proper runners from a kitchen supply shop near work, screwed down some marine ply and found a pot plant pot holder that fitted the fridge perfectly.
Total cost $20 and it works a treat!
Nice and simple AB. It looks good and works, gives you more satisfaction than fitting a fancy store bought one.
I pulled the intercooler and hoses off, the heat shield and dump pipe from the turbo off. There was a stud missing from the turbo to dump pipe, so I replaced all of them, gave the dump pipe a well needed diet. Made up some new IC mounts as the original ones were nearly non existant and bugger if I was going to pay $28 each from Nissan. Ended up costing my $8 from Clark Rubber for all four mounts
Welded in a bung for the pyro.
fitted blue LEDS in the dash
Received my all in one boost and egt gauge from the states today. Yippee! Looks wicked!
Bought a Autometer cup for the gauge from Rare Spares
saw a birds nest of wires under the dash from the spotty switched in the dash. So I decided to remove it all and re-do it. Just aswell as the wires under the hood to the fuses they used were all melted, even though it was all still working.
and also ran around like a blue arsed fly trying to find a bulkhead fitting for the vacuum sensor, found one in the end.
Still haven't finished any of it, everything is spread all over the garage. I'm still waiting of the dawes from 3Bar to turn up so it can be fitted with the catch can, needle valve and EGR plate. This will take a while to complete. Just aswell I have my other car to use, if it doesn't sell that is...Then I'm stuffed.
Went to an accident in the middle of my village (high speed multiple rolls and end over ends) once we had him sorted out and packaged away me and my Safari got to recover his Surf which was in the local pubs garden on its roof facing the wrong way with the back end wrapped around there new large sign. Had to pull the back sideways off the sign then winch it forward about 1.5m and then winch it back onto its wheels. I then had to strip all the guards of my winch as I managed to engage my winch (pretty sure my fire jacket got caught on PTO lever) when I was getting out and over swpooled the winch into a large tangled mess that jammed up between the which drum and the fairlead.
