Skib 3,041 Posted December 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 Had some issues lastnight and had to restart. But the current print is coming along nicely. 3 Quote Link to post

Skib 3,041 Posted December 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 All aboard the boost train! Choo! Choo! Quote Link to post
Skib 3,041 Posted December 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 Lol wound up taking almost 11 hours to print. 2 Quote Link to post
Skib 3,041 Posted December 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2020 Just a little mock up, doing an experiment and coating the whole print in fiberglass resin to see if it stiffens up the print. Also makes for a smooth sandable surface for paint. 3 Quote Link to post
Skib 3,041 Posted December 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 Still have some more gauges to order but it's getting there. Also upgraded my typical melted 240z fuse box to a blade fuse box mounted in the glove box 6 Quote Link to post
Skib 3,041 Posted December 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2020 Also found a factory fuel filler since mines hard as a rock and leaks like a civ 2 Quote Link to post
Rhapakatui 1,646 Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 Oh crap! I ran out of crap to talk on the rest of the interweb. I saw that I had updates on Ratsun and decided to comment. Little did I know, the skibert was back with the project that I keep hearing rumors about! Good to see you back in the game! I bet you're better funded than I am after a long time away. Quote Link to post
Skib 3,041 Posted December 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 I may end up going to a mega squirt, still fighting with the stock stuff and AFRs are all over the place. Quote Link to post
Skib 3,041 Posted December 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 spent a good two days heating and beating to get drums off lol its been along time since these have been off. also got some JDM Celica fender mirrors in today 3 Quote Link to post
Skib 3,041 Posted December 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 still waiting on wheel cylinders but got my mirrors on in the mean time... 1 Quote Link to post
datzenmike 39,725 Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 The good news? I don't hate them. Do your drums have the threaded holes in them? Two 12mm? bolts and tighten in against the WMS and it pries them off. Quote Link to post
Skib 3,041 Posted December 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 Nope lol just have to oil and heat... Quote Link to post

]2eDeYe 9,625 Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 like so many experiments lol Quote Link to post
Skib 3,041 Posted January 5 Author Report Share Posted January 5 Bit weak since the AFRs are still all over, but had a bit of a laugh with it anyway 😂 1 1 Quote Link to post
Skib 3,041 Posted January 6 Author Report Share Posted January 6 Decided to go megasquirt. so while I wait, made up a mount bracket for some LS coils. Because with MS there's no reason not to go coil packs. 3 Quote Link to post

When I stop moving house and get my garage back, my 510 is getting a microsquirt. Had one on my last car and LOVED it. Which ECU are you using MS2? Quote Link to post
Skib 3,041 Posted January 7 Author Report Share Posted January 7 Going to MS seems to be a universally recommend switch from the 40 year old stuff lol. Going to be running MS2 V3.57 1 Quote Link to post
Skib 3,041 Posted March 13 Author Report Share Posted March 13 Have still been working on the Z but also still doing a lot of waiting, I ordered my MS and harness in Dec which was meant to have a 4-6 week lead.... and still waiting.... I was going to leave the body just sorta ratty and run it, buuuuut... I found some rust that was worse than I thought... and if I have to fix that I may as well do body work and paint it, even though I was trying to avoid that. so blown apart again it gets... Finally found where I stashed my original HKS Super that needs some clean up and fixing. coming along so far... Its missing the trumpet horn, but I found one for sale in japan marked as "Junk" but had the horn so there goes 10K yen because who knows when Ill even find another one lol 4 Quote Link to post
Noll 753 Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 Ouch, that's no fun. Hopefully the underlying structure isn't too bad, the outer skin shouldn't be too bad of a patch. 1 Quote Link to post
