K will try and give him a call today to see if we can schedule something either this weekend or the week of Carnival as I am taking some time off, wanna work on the GTT and the daily and give the Silvia a little time to recoup from being a daily. Already gave her probably five washes already since taking her to work and a decent engine bay wash as well. I have already located one rust spot but that is in the engine bay that was not touched by the painter on my request. I thought the first guy that painted the car fixed that one spot but on further review it has cropped back up and I will need to drill it out and treat it and nip it and prime and paint it. Good thing is that to the untrained eye you would not see it as it is tucked away. I am picky like that I guess.
On a lighter note I almost spun out the car on the highway this morning, seems I gave a little too much throttle when shifting to second coming on to the highway this morning by Orange Grove Traffic Lights, man that R33 diff is quite aggressive. Once in boost it pulls really well, my rpms if I shift drops from say 6500 in first to 5000rpm in second/third/fourth/fifth and then drops of in sixth as it is more a cruising gear. Having the Nismo Instrument Panel it makes it seem that I am not using the range but when I look at it I am already running 160-170Km without much effort and the car still needs to fit the Power FC and be tuned.
Hoping this weekend once the daily goes into the shop for repairs I can then sort my garage and be able to tackle some of the things I have been wanting to get done but these days I have been working late so light is a problem but in the garage I should be good to go. Things on the list are Blitz Turbo Timer, Blitz Spec R Boost Controller, A-Pillar Custom
'TriniGT Spec' Dual Gauge Pod, custom mats for the rainy season along with custom trunk mat as I don't have an original. Eventually I want to rewire the fuel pump as it is using the stock wiring that does not give the pump the full voltage it deserves so with the use of a relay I will runn a direct feed from the battery and seeing as the battery is in the trunk it will be an easy run and give it the nice bussing sound
.
I will also be looking at making a Blitz stencil for the FMIC as it is a bit knackered, got it that way, so the logo will hopefully take away from bent and abused front cooler for now until I can score a proper replacement core to the likes of a Trust/Blitz/ARC/HKS. I am yet to order the CF hood pins but hopefully at month end it will be first on order as I am a little uneasy driving the car hard with the bonnet having the gap on the driver side allowing air to get underneath and the possibility of lifting/ripping the bonnet off and causing possible windscreen damage as well. Last thing to do is to have the windscreen removed and new molding fitted and windscreen refitted. I am currently waiting on some things to land to get going on the interior.
