Replaced the seal in my air box. There was only a small piece of the old seal left in the lid and a few shall pieces in the air box. Very hard and brittle.

Yeh I had no idea about this potential issue either. I just opened up the air box to inspect the filter and give it a clean and saw some large black fragments in there. Turned over the lid and found where they had come from. Basically the original seal feels like charcoal it was so old.
This is the one I bought from eBay – $21.90 + free postage.

Got the front seats reupholstered to re build the bolsters (side bits) and firm up the base foam. Lasted well from '89 to now so should be good for another 20 yrs or so.
Finished install of Cooma Diesel_WaterWatch inline water trap with alarm prior to install of new fuel pump.

Good job mate , very neat. And man thats a clean engine bay...Originally Posted by Bidja
Yeah it all went through its first ever car wash (10yrs now) the other day and also used engine degreaser to help track down fuel pump leak. I live down a 5 km dirt road but must say certainly avoid driving thru deep mud soaks as I don't see the point in it.
All it ever gets is a hose down with dam water or if lucky tank water, 3 times a year and never soap bucket. Dust must work as a is a good barrier...

I ended up getting a 2nd hand seat rail in good condition today and finished bolting in the XR8 seats, WOW they are so super comfy compared to the Nissan seats. Long trips will be a breeze now without getting sore I reckon.
I used the Huracan adapter kit which was an awesome kit including all the paperwork to get the seats engineered.

Finally got around to installing my Redarc towpro elite and a couple of Anderson’s on the rear bumper for trailer power and solar input. I knew there was a reason I’ve been putting it off, running cables shits me!
