Nice build and i cant wait to see it finished.

I noticed the ABS booster is built into the Master as a complete assembly. Personally i never liked this system and ended up ripping it all out my old Sierra. also due to other failure related issues.

I recently installed a Merc C-class (C63) ABS booster pump assembly into my friends car by removing his existing pumps assembly. I used a Sierra Master (NON-ABS) and ran lines to a new C-class Booster The result was so much better over the original Bosch pump (Much faster almost seemless). They are pretty easy to wire up also, You have your control wire (sends a pulse), Pos and Neg, and a failure wire.

For a car of this nice maybe its time to upgrade this one ABS component. Theres no need to change the ABS computer or sensors either.

Just a thought .


I wonder if you can mate the skyline trans to one of the New 5 cyl RS engines and fit it to this. It would make a sick sound

Cheers

update soon lads, i need to get new batteries for camera as bith pairs have failed now

but inside is all painted up, ive took the inner reararches back to metal, sills and back panel, just working on windscreen to get them all etched primered

Dont worry this car will never be sold as it will never be finished,

The problem with rich is clearly he has absolutly no taste so he wastes his money on gay morrets and wrc wings!!!!!! further slowing the project down,


oh and on a side note where the fooks my cam cover

[xr4x4rs]

told ya, i have more tatse than you, im not driving round in a gay coloured taxi, which doesnt knw wether it wants to be an road car or a track car and has to have a number plate in the window

the car will be finished, as perfection takes time and good things come to those who wait lol

and i told ya i weighed the cam cover in, so i owe you all of 27p

and tony im not selling this one mate, didnt want to sell the cabs but it wasnt practical for what i needed, the only time this sells is when the next car i want startes to come down in price

[Tev]

you best have the kettle ready for tomorrow

[xr4x4rs]

time for an update anyhow, nit much but i got done what i wanted to do so i can do underneath over xmas

so first of all was to primer the inside of the car







then paint, with some super shine laquer aswell, this is what it looked like out the gun and looks like this dry aswell lol









tried to get a reflection of my hand but was hard, so best i could do



next was to get the engine bay in primer, as i want the bodyshop to paint it

so all flatted down ready



also as im going to run a gt30 i want my air filter behind my bumper, so ive enlarged the hole on the inner wing just a bit bigger than the air intake pipe for the turbo





the engine bay was then primered with 2 pqac hih build, was flatted and re primered ready to be flatted and painted



















after this i wanted to sort the rear arches, sills and back panel, reson being was they were stone chipped over a year ago and the stone chip is still wet, the front arches are fine, but everywhere else inc underside is wet for sum reason, so this was all taken down to bare metal, i had to use a blow torch on the arches as the sealent wouldnt shift

the back panel







arches, you can see where i vae banded them to widen them for my wheels





once this was done, it was to acid etch primer the panels i took down to bare metal, while i was bare metalling ay surface rust i found was cleaned out to fresh metal aswell









next was to seal all the joins that needed sealing by using a bodyshop sealent





arches and wings







also the a pillar panel where trhe seal holds as i took the windscreen to bare metal to get rid of the sealent





then i used a brushable seam sealent to give a bit more protection















then it was high build primered ready for the stone chip when i do the underside















and thats it, will be another tomorrow as the underside will be getting started

[COLEYST200]

rich, i dont know yet as i havnt added all my reciepts up and i havnt finished, but roughly id say around Ł350 maybe a little more to paint the underside, then obviously you have all your powdercoating ontop, then new bolts etc, then it just gets outa control lol

well its over

















on its side

first of thanks to mark (cossiecrazy) for helping me out friday with the frame

then a thanks to screemin and his mate and tev for helping me sort the car today, did have 1 scary moment but managed to save the car lol and i didnt have to take my door motor off and my dorr still opens just missing the car

anyhow heres how the car looks now















so thats what ill be doing over xmas is to strip all the std sealent off, im getting there but going to take time lol

[graham c]

who,s doing the eletrics for the box ie so you can switch it from 2wd to 4wd?

[xr4x4rs]

i am, as you dont need to use all the skyline electronics, you just need a on off switch for the pump, unless you want it full adjustable then its going to be expensive and a head ache

[graham c]

so say off is 2wd on is 4wd? that easy? do you need ecu,s and some wiring ?

[frs2208]

coming along nicely fella

no picture's of it being set alight then lol

[xr4x4rs]

yes, its as simple as that from what ive been told by my local skyline tuner anyhow

off is 2wd on is 4wd 50/50

the skyline ecu for the gearbox will adjust the pressure to make the transfer ratio variable, but this requires inputs from engine management, speed sensors, abs sensors etc and gets really complicated

i could oput a variable resistor in the electrics to turn the voltage down to slow the pump down to have variable splits front to rear though, as the skyline box works on pressure plates not a chain, so the more pressure you apply the more power to the front wheels you have

[graham c]

cool thats wot am after for the mk1 4x4 whens yours going in

[xr4x4rs]

wont be fr a while, one of the last things of the build is the gearbox

[graham c]

is martin,s plate alloy ?sorry about all the questions but i would like to have the bits just for when my box gose, bang! he he so i can swop it

[hitchwest]

bet your arse was twitching when spinning over

[xr4x4rs]

have no idea what its being made out of as im not ready for it yet

i wasnt worried spinning it over, it was when we lifted the front theback gave way and almost felll off the frame luckily we caught it lol

[CRAIG HAYTER]

That spit has had 3 escos's on it inc mineits a shiter putting it on i know exactly how you feeldont worry it holded my escos up for about 6 monthsMarks a top fellaalso a VERY good guy to have behind you knows these cars better than anyone i know he knows every clip,nut,bold, and washer unbelieve able how good he is you will proberly see some of Marks colour on it aswell as mine lol its a million times easyer to work on it like thats aye

[andy130]

jes i fough for a min u sold the lot looks good mate

[CRAIG HAYTER]

use a twisted wire wheeels(on a big angle grinder to take the best of it of then use the drill onesthats if your going to bare metal it?
