  1. Rubber soul in Japan may stock them. Email info@jdmfactory.com.au and he might be able to help you
  2. Didn't have to change the sump and pickup?
  3. Yeah I know them feels. I really want to have the sedan stripped and repainted but I need to get the coupe undercover first
  4. Oh shame dude, I thought the blue mobile was going too!
  5. ill have to look at mine. It's the one with the different / odd size Pistons. Could you space those to take a vented/dimpled disc?
  6. Meanwhile, here are my two C110's together I've started stripping her out now. Interior it gutted and so is suspension. Hoping to pull the motor and then fabricate a cradle and then off to the body shop This all happened after the photo together I'll use those parts to lower the sedan and the remainder I'll clean up and refresh and upgrade the brakes, ready for re fitment. Then I'll store them till needed
  7. Yep that'll work!!! Your big day?
  8. Oh the two tone 1600 is my dad's beast. Been in the family 30 years!
  9. Well I made it to the show! The Skyline Nationals 2014, hosted by Classic Skylines Australia was amazing. Personally the car ran great. After doing 280km's over 8 days since back on the road I did 450km in a day!!! Not one hiccup!! Here's some photos of the car at the event! The only down side was it was raining on the way up. But I managed to meet some friends and had an awesome cruise up regardless! http://youtu.be/RNvqTt3DyWg Now to continue to improve her. The suspension needs work so I'll get stuck in!!
  10. 2 Front Brake Calipers Hilux RN105 RN106 RN110 RN130 VZN130 Toyota Surf 4RUNNER | eBay ??
  11. Oh I absolutely recommend to deal with Flauski. I got a NOS sill off him. Fantastic communication and just an excellent bloke to deal with!
  12. Top video mate!!! Nice little gain too!!
  13. Can't go past the Zed airbox IMO for SU's
  14. Needed to sort out some lighting issues for Rego. I noticed that the rear number plates weren't working, time to investigate Oh goodie :shock: These are the light lenses.... So it seems they've been swimming in water AND the lenses have almost perished. I've ordered new lenses but they have to come from Japan so until then I'll use what I have. Cue music and hard work. That should work nicely for now
  15. Been at it again today...The sun was shining so i wanted to get stuck into putting the under guard dust cover/protector/thingys (i've no idea what they're called!) Then my Brother in law turned up and wanted a hand with his KE25 Corolla, so we had a bit of a JNC day at my place. Now i had done a little bit of it yesterday, cleaning them up, removing those god-awful staples holding the old rubber on (they were rusted completely !!). wire wheeling the panels, and treating / painting them. Today i fitted them to the car, and attached the rubber to them (when i wasn't painting grill and head light surrounds for a certain Corolla) I drilled out the old holes for the staples and use that most awesome invention, ZIP TIES! I figure it's going to be significantly easier to replace these, and they're plenty strong enough to hold the rubber in place. The old rubber was about 2 - 2.5mm thick but i went with 3mm as it was most readily available. I then grabbed what was left of the car and bolted her together! TA DA!!!! Remember she is a survivor, i'm trying to help her survive (with a little bit of me aka the grill). This is not a complete restoration....yet. I just want to get her driving and enjoy her. I'll hopefully get her onto Historic Registration in a few days. The long term plan is to do a complete paint strip, remove rust (internally is all good so it'll be a doors close job) and a complete respray in the factory colour.
  16. Hey Whiterolla you coming to Classic Japan 2014 mate??? Como Park in South Melbourne on Dec 7th???
  17. Been a little while since last update, but have been busy. I got the Yon back onto her wheels after address the brakes and changing the rear shoes. I wheeled her outside so I could finish treating the rust under the guards and then get cracking with painting, as there is less than a month till the event i'm trying to be ready for, the Skyline Nationals. I got stuck into more cleaning under the car while I was at it. The end result is a massive improvement, but I will bare metal the car in a few years. I also got stuck into the actual guards, the passenger side guard on the car is sadly in need of repairs which I don't have time to do but I do have a spare. Its GREEN!!! that won't do at all. I wire wheeled and treated the guards and then painted them black to seal them. Then I set about treating the boot while I waited. I got some original factory Datsun 169M colour made up in pressure pack rattle cans for the guards, so tried it here in the boot first The black undercoat made it a bit silver-ish. So back to the green guard, time to undercoat and then top and clear coats. I'm VERY happy how that turned out considering its the first time I've painted car panels AND it was a spray can job!! I also messed around with the grill too. So here is how she is right now. A few little things left to do, but I\m so much closer than I was a week ago. Thanks for reading and for the encouragement so far!
  18. Nah never spoke to the guy and it was on eBay. Can't recall the price it went for though sorry mate. Prices have shot up heaps over the past 18 months
  19. Could anyone suggest what would be the biggest caliper i could get into a 16' or maybe even 17' rim? Ideally i'd like to run a coilover setup with camber tops and the biggest brake caliper i could find. The back is getting the disc brake mod done... ...so any suggestions/advice would be great. Kid-K is sure to have some great ideas
  20. I've found out that Lovell make a 40mm lower spring for a 240K for about $140~ for a pair so I'll go down that road on the sedan i think
  21. Whats the process with the stoneguard? And did it have to be tinted or was it grey to start with? Bout time you updated....but WHAT an update!
  22. I nearly bought it about a year ago. Seems like it's almost all there. There are certainly worse ones around. But I haven't seen it in person though. Was located in Wagga Wagga NSW originally that car. In Adelaide now
