Got a few of the things I needed for the car today, new steering rack boot

The other 2 rims arrived today as well, but when they were fitting the tyres they damaged the lip a bit, when I got home from school and had a look at them I noticed it straight away but it was too late to do anything about it, so that ****** me off, but at least you can't see it because its on the inside.

Have a new centre tail shaft bearing on the way from melbourne, will be getting fitted up tomorrow.

Took out the tail shaft today and also took out the top mounts for the diff because the bushings are worn out.

Awesome job you've done. You should be proud to drive this around. A smug grin would be the order of the day.

Must say I really love the wheels. I have Konig Rewinds to go on our RA28 whenever it goes in to get the paint done.

Spewing about the damaged wheel. Lucky it is on the inside.

Sounds like it won't be long before it is up and going.

Good stuff

Thanks, I think it will take a while for me to stop smiling once I've taken it for a proper drive, if nothing goes wrong that is haha.

The Konig's are quite similar to the Wata's, they're the only wheels I had really considered for the car. If the damage was on the outside I think they might be buying me a new rim, and if I was there when they got fitted I would've noticed it, but yeah at least its on the inside.

Fingers crossed its registered this week.

Sunday 5/2/12

Got the driveshaft back on Friday and got it back in, but its too long and is nearly pushing the rubber off the bearing, so thats why the old one wore out. Its going to go get shortened tomorrow, hopefully it only takes the day so it can go back in tomorrow night.

Got the steering rack boot on too.

Should be going for blue slip again sometime this week.

Just read through the build. Nice work. I love these cars and would love to do something similar. Unfortunately, I need more space! Hopefully your coming down to Melb for the Annual meet so we can all see this in the flesh.

Thanks, it was good fun doing this. I don't think Ill be able to make the annual this year, Ive got the HSC so will probably be a bit too busy with that to trek it to Melbourne, but Ill see how it goes.

Got the tail shaft back and put it in.

Wednesday 8/2/12

Passed blue slip. Front brakes were seizing on the way back so pulled them down and put some grease on the sliders, all good so far.

Getting plates tomorrow, then a wheel alignment on friday. Going to get the ecu remapped within the next few weeks too.

Went and got it registered today, and took it for a little drive around the block a few times, but when I was pulling into the driveway the brake problem came back. Problem seems to be in the master cylinder, so thats coming off again tonight

Went and got a wheel alignment today, car drives a lot better now.

Drove it around for a bit, and then it started to cut out when I lifted off the throttle, so I adjusted the dashpot and hasn't happened again yet.

Put the wheels on, but they rubbed on the seam in the wheel arch, so bent that back and its all good now.

Pulled the calipers off, and found out that they were all seized. So they're going to the brake shop to get refurbed tomorrow.

IMG_1500.jpg

Found out that the rear discs are worn about 3mm past their minimum thickness, so they will get replaced.

Went to put in the alloy radiator this afternoon too, but didn't have any bolts long enough for the thermo fan, so it will go in tomorrow.

The other disc's inside diameter was too small and didn't fit over the face of the hub, so I went and got that machined out and finished fitting the other rear.

Bled all the brakes up, and the brake problem is still there, so I guess the booster is the next place to look.

Tested the booster and its not that. Even with the vac line disconnected and with the master cylinder loose the brakes still don't release. Going to gut the proportioning valve next and see if that fixes it

just a suggestion, check you rubber flexable hoses, could be collaped inside causing it to hold pressure to the calipers

Good idea, they are braided lines but I will check them out.

Adjusted the free play in the pedal today to about 10mm, didn't fix the problem. I think the problem is in the master cylinder now because when the brake lines are loosened from the master the problem goes away straight away.

Master cylinder out

Took the master cylinder to get checked out

Started to get the glue off the blue door cards

Friday 24/2/12

Got the master back and put it back on. They put a new kit in it and i think they drilled out another hole that might not have been drilled out properly when the sleeving was done. Brake problem seems to have gone away.

Got the rest of the glue off the blue door cards

Next problems to work on are the gear box and the engine.

2nd gear synchro is gone in the box i think, it doesn't like to shift down into 2nd from 3rd, but if you push it into first a bit then is slots into second most of the time.

Engine is blowing some blue smoke, but smells like its running rich too. My guess is that the oil rings are gone
