Long update + vid

Been a while since i've wrote an update so here is the last month and a bits work.

Made up a cardboard template for the rear seat + parcel shelf, traced onto .6mm aluminium sheet and cut it out. Turned out quite good.






Final product had to be sprayed satin black as the raw sheet was just way too bright with the sun on it, 100x worse than high beams in the rear view.


I got my hands on a dirt cheap bride RO rail thats for an R32 that had been hack-modded into an s13 drivers side rail. A day with some offcuts of steel, welder and grinder soon turned it into a nicely fitting passenger rail.



Also welded a bracket on for harness eye bolt as I had none of the big plates with the nuts welded on them.

Finally forked out and bought a Bride FG rail so I was able to install my VIOS III seat. Its SO good, with the Takata harness I don't move an inch.


Today I made up some steering lock stoppers. At the moment the wheels at full lock either hit the chassis rail or the castor rod. Design credit goes to "DVS JEZ" off NS.com.

They work a charm.


On Monday I got another tune up at Status Tuning. Last tune something went south with the alternator and was not charging the battery so the tune was done with a battery charger set to jump start mode. After checking it out the next day turns out the battery globe in the dash cluster is required to complete the charging circuit. Removed + replaced and it all worked. GRRR. With a fully charging battery at 14.4v the mixtures were about 10% off so we were able to get a few more rwkw's on the same boost.




Will update with some more pics and new height tomorrow. Almost ready for Drift Attack in 1 week's time!
